How to Ride the Motorcycle
109
Warning
Do not park on a soft or steeply
inclined surface.
Parking under these conditions may
cause the motorcycle to fall over
causing damage to property and
personal injury.
To park the motorcycle:
• 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, license plate and position lights
on.
