Side Stand

Checking the Side Stand

Side stand spring

  • Check that the side stand operates smoothly. If the side stand is stiff or squeaky, clean the pivot area and lubricate the pivot bolt with clean grease.
  • Check the spring for damage or loss of tension.
  • Sit on the vehicle and raise the side stand.
  • Start the engine and press the D/M side on the N-D/M switch to switch the transmission into D mode.
  • Lower the side stand all the way. The engine should stop as you lower the side stand. If the engine doesn't stop, have your vehicle inspected by your dealer.
