Stopping the motorcycle If you let go of the throttle twistgrip, the motorcycle will slow down gradually and smoothly. Then, shift down releasing the clutch, and finally change from first to neutral. Apply brakes and you will bring the motorcycle to a complete stop. To switch the engine off, simply turn the key to OFF (page 12). Important Never leave the key in the ON position when engine is stopped, or this will damage the electric components. Warning Using padlocks or other locks designed to prevent motorcycle motion, such as brake disc locks, rear sprocket locks, and so on is dangerous and may impair motorcycle operation and affect the rider's safety. Refueling (fig. 22.1) Never overfill the tank when refueling. Fuel should never be touching the rim of filler recess. Warning Be sure there is no fuel trapped in the filler recess.
