Parking Stop the motorcycle, then put it on the side stand to park it (see page 20). To avoid theft, turn the handlebar fully left and turn the key to LOCK position. If you park in a garage or other facilities, make sure that there is proper ventilation and that the motorcycle is not near a source of heat or sparks. If needed, you may leave the parking lights on by turning the key to position P (fig. 21). Important Do not leave the key turned to P for long periods or the battery will run down. Never leave the ignition key in the switch when you are leaving your bike unattended. 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 rider safety. Warning The exhaust silencer (see page 19) stays hot for a long time (several dozens of minutes) after engine has been stopped. Be sure not to touch the exhaust silencer with any body parts when mounting or dismounting. E fig. 21 29
