SIDE STAND

]
An interlock switch is provided to cut
off the ignition circuit when the side
stand is down and the transmission is
in any gear other than neutral.
The side stand/ignition interlock switch
works as follows:
• If the side stand is down and the
transmission is in gear, the engine
can not be started.
• If the engine is running and the
transmission is shifted into gear
with the side stand down, the en-
gine will stop running.
• If the engine is running and the side
stand is put down with the trans-
mission in gear, the engine will stop
running.
A WARNING
Riding with the side stand incom-
pletely retracted can result in an
accident when you turn left.
• Check operation of the si'de
stand/ignition interlock system
before riding.
• Always retract the side stand
completely before starting off.
A CAUTION
Park the motorcycle on firm, level
ground to help prevent it from fall-
ing over.
If you must park on an incline, aim
the front of the motorcycle uphill
and put the transmission into 1st
gear to reduce the possibility of
rolling off the side stand.
