Engine Stop Switch
In addition to the ignition switch being turned
to the ON position, the engine stop switch
must be in the RUN position for the
motorcycle to operate.
The engine stop switch is for emergency use.
If an emergency arises which requires the
engine to be stopped, move the engine stop
switch to the STOP position.
Note:
• Although the engine stop switch
stops the engine, it does not turn
off all the electrical circuits and
may cause difficulty in restarting
the engine due to a discharged
battery. Ordinarily, only the
ignition switch should be used to
stop the engine.
Warning
Do not attempt to adjust the levers with the
motorcycle in motion as this may lead to
loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
After adjusting the levers, operate the
motorcycle in an area free from traffic to
gain familiarity with the new lever setting.
Do not loan your motorcycle to anyone as
they may change the lever setting from the
one you are familiar with causing loss of
control or an accident.
