STANDS
TYPES OF STANDS
This motorcycle is equipped with a side
stand and center stand (Brazil).
SIDE STAND1
To place the motorcycle on the side stand,
place your right foot on the end of the side
stand and push down firmly until the stand
pivots fully through its arc and comes to rest
against its stop.
For details on the side stand/ignition inter-
lock system, see page 2-102.
The figure shows V-STROM 800DE.
NOTE: When parking the motorcycle,
choose a surface that is as hard and flat as
possible. If you cannot avoid parking on a
slope, stop the motorcycle with the front fac-
ing up the slope, and place it in 1st gear to
lock the tires in place.
WARNING
Riding with the side stand incompletely
retracted can result in a crash when you
turn left.
Check operation of the side stand/ igni-
tion interlock system before riding.
Always retract the side stand completely
before starting off.
