HOW TO RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE
86
Warning
Do not park on a soft or steeply
inclined surface.
Parking under these conditions may
cause the motorcycle to fall over
causing damage to property and
personal injury.
To park the motorcycle:
▼ Select neutral and turn the ignition
switch to the OFF position.
▼ Select first gear.
▼ Lock the steering to help prevent
theft.
▼ Always park on a firm, level surface
to prevent the motorcycle from
falling. This is particularly important
when parking off-road.
▼ When parking on a hill, always park
facing uphill to prevent the
motorcycle from rolling off the stand.
Engage first gear to prevent the
motorcycle from moving.
▼ On a lateral (sideways) incline, always
park such that the incline naturally
pushes the motorcycle towards the
side stand.
▼ Do not park on a lateral (sideways)
incline of greater than 6° and never
park facing downhill.
▼ Do not leave the switch in the P
position for long periods of time as
this will discharge the battery.
Note
When parking near traffic at night, or
when parking in a location where
parking lights are required by law, leave
the tail, license plate and position lights
on by turning the ignition switch to P
(PARK).
