4.7. Parking the motorcycle
Using the sidestand
WARNING
Park the motorcycle safely on solid ground.
On slopes, engage the first gear and park
the vehicle so that the front wheel faces
uphill. Remember to put the gear lever in the
neutral position before restarting the
engine. Never leave the vehicle unattended
while the engine key is in the dashboard.
WARNING
Do not sit on the vehicle when it is parked
on the sidestand, as your full weight would
rest on the vehicle's only support. Before
riding off, ensure that the sidestand warn-
ing light on the instrument panel goes out.
In any case, make sure that the stand has
been retracted. If you notice a malfunction
of the side stand switch, have it controlled
by your MV Agusta dealer before using the
motorcycle.
OPERATION
Using your foot, lower the sidestand as far
as it will go, and then slowly tip the motorcy-
cle toward you to bring the stand supporting
foot into contact with the ground's surface.
