SIDESTAND
This motorcycle does NOT have a locking sidestand.
Park the motorcycle on a level, firm surface. An un-
balanced motorcycle can fall, which could result in
death or serious injury.
The sidestand is located on the left side of the motorcy-
cle and swings down to support the motorcycle for park-
ing.
Be sure side stand is fully retracted before riding. If
side stand is not fully retracted, it can contact the
road surface causing a loss of vehicle control, which
could result in death or serious injury.
