STAND SWITCH CONTROL

Rotation of the side stand (1) must be free from
obstruction.
Carry out the following checks:
• The springs (2) must not be damaged, worn, rusty
or weakened.
• The stand must turn freely, by greasing the joint if
necessary, see (TABLE OF LUBRICANTS).
On the side stand (1) there is a safety switch (3) with
the role of preventing or interrupting engine running
with the side stand (1) lowered.
To check that the safety switch is working (3):
• Sit on the saddle in driving position.
• Raise the side stand (1).
• Start the engine.
• With the throttle twistgrip released and the motor
idling, lower the side stand (1) which should
activate the safety switch (3).
At this point:
- the engine should stop;
- on the dashboard the side stand lowered indicator
" " should light up.
If this does not happen, replace the switch (3).
