SIDE STAND
An interlock system is provided to
cut off the ignition circuit when the
side stand is down and the trans-
mission is in any gear other than
neutral.
The side stand/ignition interlock
system works as follows:
• If the side stand is down and
the transmission is in gear, the
engine cannot be started.
• If the engine is running and the
transmission is shifted into
gear with the side stand down,
the engine will stop running.
• If the engine is running and the
side stand is put down with the
transmission in gear, the
engine will stop running.
WARNING
Riding with the side stand
incompletely retracted can
result in an accident when you
turn left.
• Check operation of the side
stand/ignition interlock sys-
tem before riding.
• Always retract the side stand
completely before starting
off.
CAUTION
Park the motorcycle on firm,
level ground to help prevent it
from falling over.
If you must park on an incline,
put the front of the motorcy-
cle toward uphill and put the
transmission into 1st gear to
reduce the possibility of rolling
off the side stand.
