Do not park on soft ground, gravel, asphalt softened by the sun, etc. This may cause the motorcycle to fall. Park on slopes with the rear wheel lower.
To lower the side support (1), turn it with your foot down until it locks. Tilt the motorcycle to the left until it stops.

Attention! Do not sit on a motorcycle that is supported by a side stand.
To return the support to its original (horizontal) position, straighten the motorcycle and lift it with your foot.
Note. It is recommended to regularly check the functionality of the return mechanism (consisting of two springs inserted one into the other) And sensor supports (2).
Note. The engine can also be started with the side support lowered and the gearbox in neutral. If you want to start the engine while the gear is engaged, the support must be raised and the clutch lever depressed.
