Ducati Hyperstrada User Manual

Side stand
Important
Place the motorcycle on the side stand only
when you are not going to use it for short periods of
time. Before lowering the side stand, make sure that
the bearing surface is hard and flat.
Do not park on soft or pebbled ground or on asphalt
melt by the sun heat and similar or the motorcycle
may fall over. When parking in downhill road tracts,
always park the motorcycle with its rear wheel facing
downhill.
To pull down the side stand, hold the motorcycle
handlebars with both hands and push down on the
side stand (1) with your foot until it is fully extended.
Tilt the motorcycle until the side stand is resting on
the ground.
To move the side stand to its rest position (horizontal
position), lean the motorcycle to the right while lifting
the thrust arm (1) with your foot.

Warning
Do not sit on the motorcycle when it is
supported on the side stand.
Note
Check for proper operation of the stand
mechanism (two springs, one into the other) and the
safety sensor (2) at regular intervals.
