Parking the motorcycle
Using the sidestand
WARNING: Park the motorcycle safely on
solid ground. On slopes, engage the first
gear and park the vehicle so that the front
wheel faces uphill. Remember to put the gear
lever in the neutral position before restarting
the engine. Never leave the vehicle unattend-
ed while the engine key is in the dashboard.
WARNING: Do not sit on the vehicle when it is
parked on the sidestand, as your full weight
would rest on the vehicle's only support.
WARNING: Before riding off, verify that the
"SIDE STAND" caption disappears from the
instrument panel. In any case, make sure
that the stand has been retracted. If you
notice a malfunction of the side stand
switch, have it controlled by your MV Agusta
dealer before using the motorcycle.
OPERATION
Using your foot, lower the sidestand as
far as it will go, and then slowly tip the
motorcycle toward you to bring the stand
supporting foot into contact with the
ground's surface.
