WARNING Indicates a potential hazard that could result in serious injury or death.
Kick stand 1. To use the kick stand, position the vehicle on firm
level ground.
2. Fold the kickstand down until it is fully extended,
and rest the weight of the motorcycle on it.
CAUTION :
Turn the handlebar so that FRONT WHEEL is
pointing to the LEFT when the KICK STAND is
folded down; this shifts more of the weight
toward the stand reducing the potential of the
vehicle to tip on its right side if bumped.
Folding the kickstand up
Before riding, make sure the kickstand is folded up
as far as possible and is firmly attached (not wob-
bling) on the mount before every ride..
