Riding in Reverse
Basic Operation & Riding
Your motorcycle’s reverse system allows you to back out of a parking position
at slow speed.
Make sure there are no obstacles or people in the area. Avoid steep or uneven
surfaces. Carrying a passenger while reversing is not recommended because it
makes balance and control more difficult to maintain.
Sit astride the motorcycle, in your normal riding position, with both feet on
the ground.
Make sure the transmission is in neutral (neutral indicator is ON) and the side
stand is up.
Start the engine. (Make sure the RVS switch is OFF.)
Push the RVS switch to ON, then make sure the reverse system indicator
comes on.
When you are ready to back up, push the start/reverse button and hold it in.
The motorcycle will move in reverse as long as you hold the button in.
To prevent battery discharge, do not push the start/reverse button more than a
minute.
Guide the motorcycle backward cautiously, using your legs to maintain
balance.
Use extreme care to maintain balance while reversing on loose surfaces (sand,
dirt, gravel) or grease-covered pavement.
