Suzuki GSX-S1000 User Manual

2-37
SIDE STAND
An interlock system is provided to cut
off the ignition circuit when the side
stand is down and the transmission is
in any gear other than neutral.
The side stand/ignition interlock sys-
tem works as follows:
• If the side stand is down and the
transmission is in gear, the engine
can not be started.
• If the engine is running and the
transmission is shifted into gear
with the side stand down, the
engine will stop running.
• If the engine is running and the
side stand is put down with the
transmission in gear, the engine
will stop running.
 WARNING
Riding with the side stand incom-
pletely retracted can result in an
accident when you turn left.
Check operation of the side stand/
ignition interlock system before
riding. Always retract the side
stand completely before starting
off.
NOTICE
If you do not take proper precau-
tions when parking, the motorcy-
cle can fall over.
Park the motorcycle on firm, level
ground whenever possible. If you
must park on an incline, aim the
front of the motorcycle uphill and
put the transmission into 1st gear
to reduce the possibility of rolling
off the side stand.
