Basic Operation & Riding 65
Parking
1. Look for a level parking area. If you can’t park on a paved surface, make sure
the ground surface is firm.
If you must park on a hill, leave the transmission in gear and position the rear
tire against the curb at a 45 degree angle.
Make sure flammable materials such as dry grass or leaves do not come in
contact with the exhaust system when parking your motorcycle. Refer to
Catalytic Converters, page 231.
2. Use the side or center stand to support the motorcycle while parked.
• To lower the side stand, use your foot to guide it down. Remember that
lowering the side stand with the transmission in gear will stop the engine,
even if the clutch lever is pulled in. That is a function of the side stand
ignition cut-off system.
(Models equipped with center stand)
• To lower the center stand, stand on the left side of the motorcycle. Hold the
passenger handgrip attached to the seat. Press down on the tip of the stand
with your right foot and, simultaneously, pull up and back on the passenger
handgrip.
3. Use the steering lock, which locks the handlebar in place. Turn the handlebar
all the way to the left or right. Push in on the ignition key and turn it to
LOCK. Remove the key.
(To unlock the steering lock, insert and push the key in and turn it to the right
to the OFF position.)
