Side stand

(fig. 150)
Important
Before lowering the side stand, make sure that
the supporting surface is hard and flat.
Do not park on soft or pebbled ground or on asphalt
melted by the sun, etc. or else the motorcycle may
fall over.
When parking downhill, always position the
motorcycle with the rear wheel facing downhill.
To pull down the side stand, hold the motorcycle
handlebars with both hands and push down on the
side stand (1) with your foot until it is fully extended.
Tilt the motorcycle until the side stand is resting on
the ground.
Warning
Do not sit on the motorcycle when it is
supported on the side stand.
To move the side stand to its resting position
(horizontal position), lean the motorcycle to the right
while lifting the thrust arm (1) with your foot.

Note
Check for proper operation of the stand
mechanism (two springs, one into the other) and the
safety sensor (2) at regular intervals.
Note
The engine can be started with the side stand
down and the gearbox in neutral. If starting with a
gear engaged, pull in the clutch lever (in this case the
side stand must be up).
