General Information
Side Stand
1. S i d e s t a n d
The motorcycle is equipped with a side stand
on which the motorcycle can be parked.
Note:
• When using the side stand, always
turn the handlebars fully to the left
and leave the motorcycle in first
gear.
Whenever the side stand is used before
riding, always ensure that the stand is fully up
after first sitting on the motorcycle.
For instructions on safe parking, refer to the
'How to Ride the Motorcycle' section.
Tool Kit and Handbook
1. Tool kit tray
2. Handbook location
The tool kit is located in a dedicated box
beneath the rider’s seat.
To gain access to the handbook, remove the
riders seat (as described elsewhere in this
section) and pivot the toolbox upward
towards the rear of the motorcycle. The
handbook is located in a vertical slot behind
the battery.
Warning
The motorcycle is fitted with an interlock
system to prevent it from being ridden
with the side stand in the down position.
Never attempt to ride with the side stand
down or interfere with the interlock
mechanism as this will cause a dangerous
riding condition leading to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
