OPERATION
Parking the Motorcycle
Caution
Asphalt pavement can become soft in hot weather. The sidestand can sink into soft asphalt until the
motorcycle falls over. When parking on asphalt in hot weather, use a sidestand footrest under the foot of
the sidestand to prevent the sidestand from sinking into the asphalt.
WARNING
A hot engine or hot exhaust pipes can be hazardous. The engine and exhaust pipes are hot for
some time after the engine is stopped. Touching the engine or exhaust pipes while hot can cause
serious burns. Allowing flammable materials to contact a hot engine or exhaust pipes may cause a
fire. Park the motorcycle where people will not touch the engine or exhaust pipes and where it is
not near flammable materials.
