Side Stand - Ducati HYPERMOTARD 1100 S Owner's Manual

Side stand

(fig. 39)
Important
Before lowering the side stand, make sure that the
bearing surface is hard and flat. Do not park on soft or
pebbled ground or on asphalt melt by the sun heat and
similar or the motorcycle may fall over.
E
When parking in downhill road tracts, always park the
motorcycle with its rear wheel facing downhill.
To pull down the side stand, hold the motorcycle handlebars
with both hands and push down on the thrust arm (1) with
your foot until stand is fully extended. Lean the motorcycle
to the left until the stand contacts the ground.
Warning
Do not sit on the motorcycle when it is supported on
the side stand.
To move the side stand to its rest position (horizontal
position), lean the motorcycle to the right while lifting the
thrust arm (1) with your foot.

Note
Check the correct operation of the two return springs
of the stand - one spring is placed inside the other - and of
the stand sensor (2) that signals stand position to the Engine
Control Unit. This system is protected by a 3A fuse placed at
the side of the battery (see page 103).
Note
It is possible to start the engine with the side stand
down and the gearbox in neutral. When starting the bike with
a gear engaged, pull the clutch lever (in this case the side
stand must be up).
