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
For reasons of security and safety, always
move the ignition switch to the LOCK or P
position and remove the key, when leaving
the motorcycle unattended.
Any unauthorised use of the motorcycle
may cause injury to the rider, other road
users and pedestrians and may also cause
damage to the motorcycle.
Warning
With the key in the LOCK or P position the
steering will become locked.
Never turn the key to the LOCK or P
positions while the motorcycle is moving as
this might cause the steering to lock.
Locked steering will cause loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
