OPERATION 4

4.7. Parking the motorcycle

❑ Using the sidestand

CAUTION

• Park your motorcycle only on firm, level

ground. Parking the bike on soft ground can

allow the sidestand to dig in, and the motor-

cycle can fall over.

• If you must park the bike on a slope, engage

first gear and park with the motorcycle facing

uphill. Remember to return the gear lever to

neutral before restarting the engine.

• Never leave your motorcycle unattended

without removing the key.

Using your foot, lower the sidestand as far as it will

go, and then slowly tip the motorcycle toward you to

bring the stand supporting foot into contact with the

ground’s surface.
