Side stand
Important
Place the motorcycle on the side stand only
when you are not going to use it for short periods of
time. Before lowering the side stand, make sure that
the bearing surface is hard and flat.
Do not park on soft or pebbled ground or on asphalt
melt by the sun heat and similar or the motorcycle
may fall over.
When parking in downhill road tracts, always park the
motorcycle with its 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.
To move the side stand to its rest position (horizontal
position), lean the motorcycle to the right while lifting
the thrust arm (1) with your foot.
To ensure trouble-free operation of the side stand
joint, thoroughly clean it and then use SHELL Alvania
R3 grease to lubricate all friction points.
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).
