Select neutral and turn the ignition
switch to the OFF position.
•
Lock the steering to help prevent
theft.

to prevent the motorcycle from
falling.

park facing uphill to prevent the
motorcycle from rolling off the
stand. Make sure the motorcycle
is in first gear to prevent the
motorcycle from moving.

a
lateral
always park such that the incline
naturally pushes the motorcycle
towards the side stand.

Do not park on a lateral (sideways)
incline of greater than 6° and never
park facing downhill.

Do not leave the switch in the P
(PARK) position for long periods
of time as this will discharge the

Make sure that the side stand is
fully retracted before riding off.

When parking near traffic at night,
or when parking in a location where
parking lights are required by law, leave
the tail, license plate and position lights
