The jiffy stand locks when placed in the full forward
(down) position with vehicle weight on it. If the jiffy stand
is not in the full forward (down) position with vehicle
weight on it, the vehicle can fall over which could cause
death or serious injury. (00006a)

stand is not fully retracted, it can contact the road sur-
face causing loss of vehicle control, which could result
in death or serious injury. (00007a)
Improperly aligned or adjusted handlebars can contact
fuel tank when turned to left or right fork stops. Contact
with fuel tank while riding can cause loss of vehicle con-
trol resulting in death or serious injury.
4. Slowly turn handlebars back and forth to the full right and
full left fork stops to be sure handlebars (and/or turn sig-
nals on some models) do not contact fuel tank. Also be
sure cables and wiring are not pinched or stretched as
handlebars are turned back and forth.

and handlebars are properly centered, perform han-
dlebar adjustment again (see ADJUSTING HAN-
DLEBARS– ALL MODELS), raising handlebars as
necessary to clear fuel tank.
b. On models with turn signals mounted on handlebar
control housings, if turn signal contacts fuel tank,
adjust turn signals and/or handlebar control hous-
ings according to appropriate Service Manual
instructions.
1WARNING1WARNING
Throttle control must operate freely without binding.
Irregular or sticking throttle cables could cause a loss of
control, leading to an accident which could result in
death or serious injury.
