CHECKING THE FUNCTIONING
OF THE SAFETY SWITCH
ON THE SIDE STAND
The side stand (1) is equipped with a safe-
ty system, operated by safety switch (2).
This system prevents the motor from being
started while the stand is extended unless
the transmission is in neutral. It also kills
the engine if the stand is extended while
the engine is running, unless the transmis-
sion is in neutral.
To check the proper functioning of the
safety switch (2):
◆
Sit astride the vehicle, see p. 71 (GET-
TING ON AND OFF THE VEHICLE).
◆
Stow the side stand (1) carefully and
completely.
WARNING
Exhaust gases contain carbon monox-
ide, which is extremely poisonous if in-
haled.
Do not start the engine in closed or bad-
ly-ventilated rooms.
Failure to observe this warning may
cause loss of consciousness or even
lead to death by asphyxia.
◆
Start the engine, see p. 75 (STARTING).
◆
Release (A) the throttle grip (3). With the
engine idling, pull in the clutch lever (4)
completely.
◆
Engage first gear, pushing the shift lever
(5) downwards.
◆
Extend (B) the side stand (1).

the engine and the ≈side stand down∆ warn-
ing light LED ≈ ∆ (6) must come on. If the

stand (1), see p. 104 (CHECKING THE
SWITCHES). Perform the necessary
cleaning or repairs.
