Parking; Anti-Theft Tips - Honda GOLDWING GL1500 Owner's Manual

OPERATION
PARKING
1. After stopping the motorcycle, shift the transmission into
neutral, turn the ignition switch OFF and remove the key.
2.
Use the side or center stand to support the motorcycle
while parked.
CAUTION:
• Park the motorcycle on firm, level ground to prevent it from
falling over.
• If you park on a slight incline, aim the front of the motorcy-
cle uphill to reduce the possibility of rolling off the side
stand or overturning.
3.
Lock the steering to help prevent theft (page
41).
NOTE:
• When stopping for a short time near traffic at night, the ig-
nition switch may be turned to P and the key removed. This
will turn on the taillight to make the motorcycle more visible
to traffic. The battery will discharge if the ignition switch is
left at P for too long a time.
ANTI-THEFT TIPS
1.
Always lock the steering and never leave the key in the igni-
tion 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 motorcycle at all times. Many
times stolen motorcycles are identified by information in
the Owner's Manuals that are still with them.
