SIDE STAND
B
It is installed on the left side of the vehicle and is controlled by
microswitch C that prevents engine starting if side stand is not
idle.
Never remove or tamper with this safety device for any
reason whatsoever.
Before operating the side stand, make sure the ground is suitably
flat and stable. Soft soil, gravel or asphalt softened by heat, for
instance, can cause the vehicle to fall and be seriously damaged.
If you are parking on a slope, make sure the rear wheel is parked
on the lower side.
To operate the side stand, hold the handlebar with both hands and,
at the same time, press your foot onto the lever to "guide" the side
stand to its fully extended position. Tilt the vehicle until the side
stand is resting on the ground.
To put the side stand in "idle" position (horizontal), tilt the vehicle
rightwards, guide the side stand until it reaches its automatic re-
turn position and make sure it is idle.
Check the side stand holding system, namely a set of
traction springs, on a frequent basis.
Do not sit on the vehicle while it is parked on the stand.
