Warning! Without the weight of the motorcycle resting on the jiffy stand, any vehicle movement could cause the jiffy stand to retract slightly from the full forward position. If the jiffy stand is not in the full forward or lock position when vehicle weight is rested on it, the vehicle could fall over which could result in death or serious injury.
Warning! Always park the vehicle on a firm, level surface. The weight of the vehicle can cause it to fall over, which could result in death or serious injury.
Warning! Be sure jiffy stand is fully retracted before riding. If jiffy stand is not fully retracted during vehicle operation, unexpected contact with the road surface can distract the rider. While the jiffy stand will retract upon contact, the momentary disturbance and/or rider distraction can lead to loss of vehicle control which could result in death or serious injury.
