PARKING
1. After stopping the motorcycle, shift the
transmission into neutral, turn the
handlebar fully to the left, turn the ignition
switch OFF and remove the key.
2. Use the side or center stand to support
the motorcycle while parked.
Park the motorcycle on firm, level ground to
prevent it from falling over.
If you must park on a slight incline, aim the
front of the motorcycle uphill to reduce the
possibility of rolling off the side stand or
overturning.
3. Lock the steering to help prevent theft
(page 61).
Make sure flammable materials such as dry
grass or leaves do not come in contact with
the exhaust system when parking your
motorcycle.
