Operation Stopping the Engine Before stopping the engine, bring the motorcycle to a complete stop. Shift to neutral or disengage the clutch. WARNING! Stopping the engine with the transmission in gear while the motorcycle is moving could cause loss of rear wheel traction or engine and transmission damage, which could cause loss of control and serious injury or death. Always stop the engine after the motorcycle is fully stopped and the transmission is in neutral. If the engine stops unexpectedly while the motorcycle is moving, guide the motorcycle to a safe location off the road and away from traffic. 1. When fully stopped, shift into neutral. 2. Move the engine stop/run switch to the STOP position. 3. Move the ignition switch to the OFF position. Remove the ignition key. Tip: Idle air control (IAC) noise is a normal engine management calibration process that occurs each time the engine stop/run switch is put into the STOP position or when the key is turned off. 68
