Parking the Motorcycle
Choose a flat, firm surface to park the motorcycle. Brake to a complete stop, place the
transmission in neutral, and stop the engine. Extend the sidestand fully, turn the
handlebars to the left, and lean the motorcycle onto the sidestand. Make sure the
motorcycle is stable when it rests on the sidestand. Remove the ignition key.
If you must park on a slope, position the front wheel uphill and place the transmission in
gear. If you must park on a soft surface, place a sidestand plate under the foot of the
sidestand.
NOTE:
Make sure the sidestand plate is strong and large enough to support the weight without
sinking into the parking surface.
WARNING
The engine and exhaust pipes are hot for some time after the engine is stopped. Touching
the engine or exhaust pipes while hot can cause serious burns. Allowing flammable
materials to contact a hot engine or exhaust pipes may cause a fire. Park the motorcycle
where people will not touch the engine or exhaust pipes and where it is not near flammable
materials.
