other motorists can result in death or serious injury.
9. Check for any fuel, oil, coolant or hydraulic fluid
leaks.
10. Check chain for wear and damage. Service as
necessary.
Some models are equipped with a sidestand interlock feature.
If the sidestand is down, the transmission is in gear, and the
clutch is released, the engine will stall. The message
SIDESTAND will be displayed in the instrument cluster to
indicate the condition.
The vehicle will start and run with the sidestand down while
the transmission is in neutral and the clutch is released.
WARNING
Shift transmission to neutral before starting engine to prevent
accidental movement, which could result in death or serious
injury.
CAUTION
The engine should be allowed to run slowly for 30-60
seconds. This will allow the engine to warm up and let oil
reach all surfaces needing lubrication. Failure to comply can
result in engine damage.
NOTE
EBR motorcycles feature a starter interlock. Before starting
the engine, all the following conditions must be met.
• Engine OFF/RUN switch on handlebar control group
must be in the ON position.
• Clutch lever must be pulled in before starting
motorcycle in gear. It is not necessary to pull in clutch lever if
