Sidestand
International models have been equipped with sidestands that have safety switches to prevent operation of the motorcycle if the sidestand is deployed.
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.
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.
See Parking for parking instructions, including parking on slopes and soft surfaces.
