E Parking (fig. 44) Stop and park the motorcycle on the side stand (see page 39). To avoid theft, turn the handlebar fully left and block it by pushing in the ignition key and turning it to the 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. You may leave the parking lights on by turning the key to position P. 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 The exhaust system might be hot, even after engine is switched off; take special care not to touch exhaust system with any body part and do not park the motorcycle next to inflammable material (wood, leaves, etc.). Warning Using padlocks or other locks designed to prevent motorcycle motion (e.g. brake disc locks, rear sprocket locks, etc.) is dangerous and may impair motorcycle operation and affect the safety of the rider. fig. 44 52
