CAUTION*: Do not shift gears without disen-
gaging the clutch and closing the throttle. The
engine could be damaged by overspeed.
WARNING*: Do not downshift when travelling
at a speed that would force the engine to over-
rev in the next lower gear, or cause the rear
wheel to lose grip.

SIDE STAND
A side stand (1) is supplied with every motorcycle.
WARNING*: The stand is designed to support
the WEIGHT of the MOTORCYCLE ONLY. Do not
sit astride the motorcycle using the stand for
support as this could cause structural failure
to the stand resulting in serious injury.
WARNING*:
The motorcycle must ONLY be stood on its
kickstand AFTER the rider has dismounted.
Note*: Lower the stand (1) with your right foot
keeping the motorcycle balanced and once lowered,
rest the motorcycle on it.
Once the motorbike has been brought from its rest
position on the ground into vertical position, the
driver has to raise the stand from the lowered to
the raised position with his left foot.
WARNING*: A safety sensor (2) is fitted on the
motorbike, which allows starting it with the
stand lowered and the gear in neutral.
If a gear is engaged with the stand lowered,
the engine turns off.

Periodically check the side stand (see "Scheduled
Maintenance Chart"); make sure that the springs
are not damaged and the side stand freely moves.
If the side stand is noisy, lubricate the fastening
pivot (A).
