Stopping the motorcycle Reduce speed, change down and release the throttle twistgrip. Change down to engage first gear and then neutral. Apply the brakes and bring the motorcycle to a complete stop. Switch the engine off by turning the key to OFF (page 20). Do not leave the key in the ON position when the engine is stopped as this could damage electrical components. Warning The exhaust system might be hot even after engine is switched off; take special care not to touch the exhaust system with any part of your body and do not park the motorcycle next to inflammable material (wood, leaves etc.). Important Warning Using padlocks or other locks designed to prevent movement of the motorcycle (such as brake disc locks, rear sprocket locks, and so on) is very dangerous, and may impair motorcycle operation and the safety of rider and passenger. E Parking Stop and park the motorcycle on the sidestand (see page 32). To prevent theft, turn the handlebar fully left and turn the ignition key to the LOCK position. If you park in a garage or other indoor area, make sure that there is proper ventilation and that the motorcycle is not near a source of heat. If necessary, you can leave the sidelights on by turning the key to position P. Do not leave the key at P for long periods or the battery will run down. Never leave the motorcycle unattended with the ignition key inserted. Important 39
