Operation
Parking on a Soft Surface
If parking on a soft surface is unavoidable, place a sidestand footrest under the foot of the
sidestand to provide a firm surface. The sidestand footrest must be strong enough and large
enough to support the motorcycle's weight without sinking into the parking surface.
Asphalt becomes soft in hot weather. A sidestand can sink into soft asphalt and the motorcy-
cle may fall. When parking on asphalt in hot weather, use a sidestand footrest.
CAUTION! Hot engine and exhaust components can cause burns to skin and can ignite a fire if
exposed to flammable materials. Always park the motorcycle clear of flammable materials and where
people are not likely to contact hot components.
