Engine Stop Switch
In addition to the ignition switch being turned
to the ON position, the engine stop switch
must be in the RUN position for the
motorcycle to operate.
The engine stop switch is for emergency use.
If an emergency arises which requires the
engine to be stopped, move the engine stop
switch to the STOP position.
Note:
• Although the engine stop switch
stops the engine, it does not turn
off all the electrical circuits and
may cause difficulty in restarting
the engine due to a discharged
battery. Ordinarily, only the
ignition switch should be used to
stop the engine.
Warning
Always disengage the steering lock before
riding as, with the steering lock engaged, it
will not be possible to turn the handlebars
or steer the motorcycle.
Riding without motorcycle steering control
will lead to loss of control and an accident.
