Parking the Motorcycle OPERATION When parking the motorcycle, choose a flat, firm surface. Bring the motorcycle to a complete stop and, with the transmission in neutral, stop the engine. Fully extend the sidestand, turn the handlebars to the left, and lean the motorcycle to the left until the sidestand firmly supports the motorcycle. Take the key with you. On a slope If you must park on a slope, point the motorcycle toward the top of the slope. Put the transmission in gear and park the motorcycle so that it is stable when it rests on the sidestand. On soft surfaces If you must park on a soft surface, use a sidestand plate under the foot of the sidestand to provide a firm surface. The sidestand footrest must be strong enough and large enough to support the motorcycle's weight without sinking into the parking surface. Many motorcyclists carry a sidestand plate. 73
