Parking - Honda 1989 PACIFIC COAST PC800 Owner's Manual

OPERATION

PARKING

1. After stopping the motorcycle, shift the transmission into
neutral, turn the ignition switch OFF and remove the key.
2. Use the side or center stand to support the motorcycle
while parked.
CAUTION:
• Park the motorcycle on firm, level ground to prevent it from
falling over.
3. Lock the steering to help prevent theft (page 35).
NOTE:
When stopping for a short time near traffic at night, the ignition
•
switch may be turned to P and the key removed. This will
turn on the taillight to make the motorcycle more visible to
traffic. The battery will discharge if the ignition switch is
left at P for too long a time.
ANTI-THEFT TIPS
1. Always lock the steering and never leave the keys in the ignition
switch. This sounds simple but people do forget.
2. Be sure the registration information for your motocycle is
accurate and current.
3. Park your motorcycle in a locked garage whenever possible.
4. Use an additional anti-theft device of good quality.
5. Put your name, address, and phone number, in this Owner's
Manual and keep it in your motorcycle at all times. Many
times stolen motorcycles are identified by information in
the Owner's Manuals that are still with them.
