push down firmly until the stand
pivots fully through its arc and
comes to rest against its stop.
CAUTION
Park the motorcycle on firm,
level ground to help prevent it
from falling over.
If you must park on an incline,
aim the front of the motorcycle
uphill to reduce the possibility
of rolling off the side stand.
WARNING
Riding with the side stand
incompletely retracted can
result in an accident when you
turn left.
Always retract the side stand
completely before starting off.
