Instruments, Features and Controls

Saddlebags

Soft Bag Removal

1. Unbuckle the saddlebag

lid clasps and open the lid.

2. Flip the two quick-release

latches upward.

3. Tilt the saddlebag away

from the fender and lift

upward to remove it from

the spools.

WARNING! Improper saddlebag

installation can result in loss of

control, accident and driving

hazards for other motorists (if

saddlebag falls from the

motorcycle). Always make sure

saddlebag mounting brackets are

fully seated onto the spools before engaging latches.

4. To reinstall, place the soft bag in position. Make sure the

mounting bracket is seated fully on the spool. Make sure

the rubber bushings on the latch pins are fully engaged

in the spools.

5. Engage the quick-release latches and flip them fully

downward.

Sidestand

The sidestand is equipped with a safety switch that prevents

operation of the motorcycle if the sidestand is deployed.

WARNING! An improperly retracted sidestand could contact the

ground and cause a loss of control resulting in serious injury or

death. Always retract the sidestand fully before operating the

motorcycle.

To park the motorcycle, swing the end of the sidestand

downward and away from the motorcycle until it is fully

extended. Always turn the handlebars to the left for

maximum stability. Lean the motorcycle to the left until the

sidestand firmly supports the motorcycle.

CAUTION! If the motorcycle weight is not resting on the sidestand,

it will not lock. In this situation, any movement of the motorcycle

could cause the sidestand to retract slightly. If the sidestand is not in

the full forward position when the motorcycle weight is rested on it,

the motorcycle could fall over, possibly causing injury and damage to

the motorcycle.

To retract the sidestand, straddle the motorcycle and bring

it to the fully upright position. Swing the end of the sidestand

upward and toward the motorcycle until it is fully retracted.

Mirrors

Your vehicle is equipped with convex mirrors. Objects seen

in a mirror may be closer than they appear. Always adjust

mirrors before riding.
To adjust the mirrors, sit on the motorcycle in the anticipated

riding position. Adjust the mirrors so that you can see a

small portion of your shoulders in each mirror.
