SIDESTAND INTERLOCK

Some models are equipped with a sidestand interlock
feature. If the sidestand is down, the transmission is in
gear, and the clutch is released, the vehicle will stall.
The message SIDE STAND will be displayed in the in-
strument cluster to indicate the condition.
The vehicle will start and run with the sidestand down
while the transmission is in neutral and the clutch is re-
leased.

STARTING THE ENGINE

Shift transmission to neutral before starting engine
to prevent accidental movement, which could result
in death or serious injury.
The engine should be allowed to run slowly for 30-60
seconds. This will allow the engine to warm up and
let oil reach all surfaces needing lubrication. Failure
to comply can result in engine damage.
NOTE
EBR motorcycles feature a starter interlock. Before
starting the engine, all the following conditions must be
met.
1. Engine OFF/RUN switch on handlebar control
group must be in the ON position.
2. Clutch lever must be applied (pulled in) before start-
ing motorcycle in gear. It is not necessary to apply
clutch lever if motorcycle is being started in neutral.
