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.

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, such as brake disc locks, rear
sprocket locks, and so on is dangerous and may impair
motorcycle operation and affect the safety of the rider.
