Riding

Placing motorcycle on

its centre stand

The motorcycle cannot

stand securely on poor

ground.

Always check that the ground

under the stand is level and

firm.c

• Switch off the engine.

• Dismount and keep your left

hand on the left handlebar

grip.

• With your right hand, grip the

rear grab handle or the rear

frame.

• Place your right foot on the

pin of the centre stand, and

press the stand down until

its curved feet touch the

ground.

• Place the full weight of your

body on the centre stand,

while pulling the motorcycle

to the rear (arrow).

• Check that the motorcycle is

standing firmly.

Excessive movements

could cause the centre

stand to retract, and the mo-

torcycle would topple in con-

sequence.

Do not lean or sit on the mo-

torcycle with the centre stand

extended.c
