OPERATION

Stopping the Engine

Before stopping the engine, bring the motorcycle to a complete stop either in neutral or with the clutch disengaged.

Once the motorcycle is at a complete stop, if it is not already in neutral, shift into neutral. To stop the engine, set the

engine stop/run switch to the STOP position, turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, and remove the ignition

key.

NOTE

:

Idle air control (IAC) noise is a normal engine management calibration process that occurs each time the engine stop/run

switch is put into the STOP position or when the key is turned off.

Stopping the engine while the motorcycle is in motion and the transmission is engaged may damage the

engine and the transmission or cause the rear wheel to lose traction. In either case, you may lose

control.

If the motorcycle is in motion and the engine stops on its own, guide the motorcycle to a safe location

off the road and away from traffic.
