stand.
The stand has been designed to support
the weight of the vehicle and a minimum
load, without the rider and the passenger.

rider and passenger onto the side stand.
While getting on and off, the weight of the
vehicle may cause an unbalance and the
consequent loss of equilibrium, and the ve-
hicle may fall or overturn.
NOTE
The rider must always be the first
person to get on the vehicle and the last to
get off and it is the rider who controls the
balance and stability of the vehicle when
the passenger gets on and off.
