OPERATION 4

EN
Using the rear stand
Insert the stand pin into the rear wheel
axle hole on the left side of the motorcy-
cle. Rest the stand on the ground and,
pressing down on the stand, lift the vehi-
cle until it reaches a stable condition.
WARNING: This operation is
best carried out with two people,
one to steady the motorcycle
and one to manipulate the rear
stand. Keep bystanders away
during this operation.
WARNING: Never sit on your bike when it is parked on the kickstand. This can damage the
stand, and could cause the bike to fall over, with both damage to the motorcycle and pos-
sible injury to you.
WARNING: Before riding off, ensure that the kickstand is fully retracted, and that the kick-
stand warning light on the instrument panel is extinguished. Failure to observe this warning
can result in the stand contacting the ground as you are riding, which can upset the motorcy-
cle, resulting in an accident, personal injury or death. If you notice a malfunction of the kick-
stand switch, have it repaired by your MV Agusta dealer before using the motorcycle.
