Suzuki GSX1300BK Owner's Manual page 69

The side stand/ignition interlock switch
works as follows:
• If the side stand is down and the trans-
mission is in gear, the engine can not be
started.
• If the engine is running and the transmis-
sion is shifted into gear with the side
stand down, the engine will stop running.
• If the engine is running and the side
stand is put down with the transmission
in gear, the engine will stop running.
 WARNING
Riding with the side stand incompletely
retracted can result in an accident when
you turn left.
• Check operation of the side stand/igni-
tion interlock system before riding.
• Always retract the side stand com-
pletely before starting off.
CAUTION
Park the motorcycle on firm, level
ground to help prevent it from falling
over.
If you must park on an incline, aim the
front of the motorcycle uphill and put the
transmission into 1st gear to reduce the
possibility of rolling off the side stand.
