The stand has been designed to support
the weight of the vehicle and a minimum
load, without the rider and the passenger.
The purpose of placing the vehicle on the
side stand before mounting is to keep the
vehicle from falling or overturning. This
does not mean that the side stand should
be used to support the weight of rider and
passenger.
While getting on and off, the weight of the
vehicle may make you lose balance, and
the vehicle may fall or overturn.
NOTE
The rider must always be the first
person to get on the vehicle and the last to
get off and it is the rider who controls the
balance and stability of the vehicle when
the passenger gets on and off.
When getting on and off the vehicle, the
passenger must make careful movements,
in order to maintain the balance of the
vehicle and the rider.
NOTE
The rider is responsible for
instructing the passenger on how to safely
get on and off the vehicle.
The vehicle is equipped with special
passenger footrests to make it easier to get
on and off the vehicle. The passenger must
always use the left footrest to get on and
off the vehicle.
Neither get off, nor try to get off the vehicle
by jumping or stretching your leg down to
the ground. In both cases this would
compromise the stability and balance of
the vehicle.
NOTE
Bags or objects strapped to the
rear of the vehicle can represent an
obstacle while getting on and off.

movement with your right leg, which must
avoid striking and safely pass the rear part
of the fairing or the luggage without creating
unbalance.
GETTING ON THE VEHICLE
u
Grasp the handlebar correctly and get on
the vehicle without loading your weight
onto the side stand.
NOTE
If it is impossible for you to place
both feet on the ground, place the right foot
on the ground (in case of unbalance, the
left side of the vehicle is prevented from
falling over by the side stand) and keep the
left foot ready to rest on the ground.
u
Place both feet on the ground and
straighten the vehicle into riding position
while keeping it in balance.
NOTE
The rider must not extract or
attempt to extract the passenger footrest
while seated astride the vehicle, because
this might compromise the stability and
balance of the vehicle.
u
Have the passenger extract the two
passenger footrests.
u
Instruct the passenger on how to safely
get on the vehicle.
Kick the side stand completely back
u
using your left foot.
