Parking - Ducati MONSTER 1100 S Owner's Manual

Parking

Stop and park the motorcycle on the sidestand
(see page 54).
To prevent theft, turn the handlebar fully left and turn the
ignition key to the position (3, fig. 57).
If you park in a garage or other indoor area, make sure that
there is proper ventilation and that the motorcycle is not
near a source of heat.
If necessary, you can leave the sidelights on by turning the
key to position (4, fig. 57).
Important
Do not leave the key at (4, fig. 57) for long periods or
the battery will run down. Never leave the motorcycle
unattended with the ignition key inserted.
Warning
The exhaust system might be hot even after engine
is switched off; take special care not to touch the exhaust
system with any part of your body and do not park the
motorcycle next to inflammable material (wood, leaves, etc.).
Warning
Using padlocks or other locks designed to prevent
movement of the motorcycle (such as brake disc locks, rear
sprocket locks, and so on) is very dangerous, and may impair
motorcycle operation and the safety of rider and passenger.
