Riding Precautions

Parking

Park on a firm, level surface.

If you must park on a slight incline or loose surface, park so that the vehicle cannot move or fall over.

Be sure the parking brake is applied while parking.

Make sure that high-temperature parts cannot come into contact with flammable materials.

Do not touch the engine, muffler, brakes and other high-temperature parts until they cool down.

To reduce the likelihood of theft, always lock the handlebar and remove the key when leaving the vehicle unattended.

Use of an anti-theft device is also recommended.

Parking with the Side Stand

Stop the engine.

Apply the parking brake.

Push the side stand down.

Slowly lean the vehicle to the left until its weight rests on the side stand.

Turn the handlebar fully to the left.

Turning the handlebar to the right reduces stability and may cause the vehicle to fall.

Turn the ignition switch to the (Off) position and remove the key.

Lock the steering.
