Stopping and parking. After coming to a com-
plete stop lower the side stand. Shut off the engine.
Depending on how your specic bike is equipped
this is accomplished by either pressing the button
on the momentary-style engine stop (ignition kill)
switch or, if equipped with a two-position, rocker-
style switch, from the “run” to the “off” position. If
the bike is not going to be run again within a few
minutes also turn the fuel petcock to the “OFF”
position.
Post-ride inspection. After completing a day of
riding clean the bike as thoroughly as conditions
allow. Remove all dirt, mud, brush, rocks and/or
other objects that you may have picked up along
the ride. After cleaning, carefully inspect the bike
for any damage or leaks. Repair any damage that
might affect the safe operation of the bike before its
next use. Be sure to lubricate the drive chain if
possible before the bike’s next use.
