converter to help reduce exhaust emission
levels. The catalytic converter can be
permanently damaged if the motorcycle is
allowed to run out of fuel or if the fuel level
is allowed to get very low. Always ensure
you have adequate fuel for your journey.

1. Side stand
The motorcycle is equipped with a side stand
on which the motorcycle can be parked.
Warning
The motorcycle is fitted with an interlock
system to prevent it from being ridden
with the side stand in the down position.
Never attempt to ride with the side stand
down or interfere with the interlock
mechanism as this will cause a dangerous
riding condition leading to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Note:
• When using the side stand, always
turn the handlebars fully to the left
