Parking; Anti-Theft Tips - Honda XRE300 Owner's Manual

Parking

1. After stopping
transmission into neutral, turn the handlebar
fully to the left, turn the ignition switch OFF and
remove the key.
2. Use the side stand to support the motorcycle
while parked.
Park the motorcycle on firm, level ground to prevent
it from falling over.
If you must park on a slight incline, aim the front of
the motorcycle uphill to reduce the possibility of rolling
off the side stand or overturning.
3. Lock the steering and close the shutter to help
prevent theft (pages 34 and 37).
The exhaust pipe and muffler become very hot during
operation and remain sufficiently hot to inflict burns if
touched even after shutting off the engine.
Make sure flammable materials such as dry grass or
leaves do not come in contact with the exhaust system
when parking your motorcycle.

Anti-theft Tips

the 1. Always lock the steering, close the shutter of the
ignition switch and never leave the key in the
ignition switch. This sounds simple but people do
forget.
2. Be sure the registration information for your
motorcycle is accurate and current.
3. Park your motorcycle in a locked garage
whenever possible.
4. Use an additional anti-theft device of good
quality.
5. Put your name, address, and phone number in this
Owner's Manual and keep it on your motorcycles
at all times. Many times stolen motorcycles are
identified by information in the Owner's Manuals
that are still with them.
