SIDE STAND/IGNITION INTERLOCK
SYSTEM
The motorcycle has a system to prevent
riders from forgetting to stow the side
stand and then traveling with it down.
The system operates as follows.
<When the side stand is down>
• The engine cannot be started when
the motorcycle is in gear. (The
engine can be started if the motorcy-
cle is in neutral)
• Placing the motorcycle in gear while
the engine is running stops the
engine.
<When the side stand is fully up>
Moving the side stand down while the
engine is running and the motorcycle is
in gear stops the engine.
NOTE:
• If side stand is not completely up the
engine stops when you shift gears
from neutral to any other gear.
• Lubricate the side stand if it does not
operate smoothly.
WARNING
If you move the side stand down
while riding the motorcycle, the
engine will stop, which may cause a
crash.
Never move the side stand down
while riding the motorcycle.
