SIDE STAND/IGNITION INTERLOCK
SYSTEM
The motorcycle has a system to prevent rid-
ers 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 motorcycle 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.
