motorcycle to the side. Make sure that your motorcycle is standing safely on
solid ground. Just in case, you can also put in a gear.

ONTO THE SIDE STAND, YOU MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE SIDE STAND OR THE
ENGINE CASE, AND YOUR MOTORBIKE MAY FALL OVER.

We advise the following procedure to place the motorcycle on the center stand
as effortlessly as possible:

b) put your weight on the stand stabilizer and pull the motorcycle back by
the footrest support (see illustration).

securely.
