engine immobiliser is turned off when the
ignition key is in the ignition switch and it is
turned to the ON position.

Switch Location

The ignition switch is located in line with the
rear edge of the fuel tank, on the right hand
side of the motorcycle.

Switch Operation

This is a three position, key operated switch.
The key can be removed from the switch only
when it is in the OFF or P (PARK) positions.
To turn the switch from OFF to ON, insert
the key and turn the key clockwise to the ON
position.
To turn the switch from ON to PARK, push
the key barrel further into the lock and turn
clockwise to the PARK position. Use the PARK
position only when temporarily leaving the
motorcycle in a situation where the tail,
licence and position lights must remain on.
To turn the key back to OFF, turn the key
anti-clockwise.
Warning
For reasons of security and safety, always
turn the ignition to the OFF or PARK
position and remove the key when leaving
the motorcycle unattended.
Any unauthorised use of the motorcycle
may cause injury to the user, other road
users and pedestrians and may also cause
damage to the motorcycle.
