How to Ride the Motorcycle
124
Parking
Select neutral and turn the ignition
switch to the OFF position.
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.
Note:
• When parking near traffic at night,
or when parking in a location where
parking lights are required by law,
leave the tail, licence plate and
position lights on by turning the
ignition switch to P (PARK).
Do not leave the switch in the P position
for long periods of time as this will
discharge the battery.
Warning
Do not park on a soft or on a steeply
inclined surface. Parking under these
conditions may cause the motorcycle
to fall over causing damage to
property and personal injury.
Warning
Petrol is extremely flammable and can
be explosive under certain conditions.
If parking inside a garage or other
structure, be sure it is well ventilated
and the motorcycle is not close to any
source of flame or sparks. This
includes any appliance with a pilot
light.
Failure to follow the above advice may
cause a fire resulting in damage to
property or personal injury.
Warning
The engine and exhaust system will be
hot after riding. DO NOT park where
pedestrians and children are likely to
touch the motorcycle.
Touching any part of the engine or
exhaust system when hot may cause
unprotected skin to become burnt.
