Stopping The Engine - Honda 2003 ST1300lA Owner's Manual

Starting
Your motorcycle's banking (lean angle) sensor system is designed to
automatically stop the engine if the motorcycle is overturned. (Your motorcycle
has another ignition cut-off system which prevents starting the engine if the side
stand is down. See page 53
Before restarting the engine, you must turn the ignition switch to the OFF
position and then back to ON. The engine will not restart until you perform this
procedure.
Normal Engine Stop
To stop the engine, shift into neutral and turn the ignition switch OFF.
The engine stop switch should normally remain in the RUN position even when
the engine is OFF.
If your motorcycle is stopped with the ignition switch ON and the engine stop
switch OFF, the headlight and taillight will remain on, resulting in battery
discharge.
Emergency Engine Stop
To stop the engine in an emergency, use the engine stop switch. To operate,
press the switch to the OFF position.
