3.2 Sidestand
3.2.1 AUTO RETURN SIDESTAND
The sidestand is equipped with a
safety switch that prevents the
motorcycle from moving off while
the stand is down.
If the rider attempts to engage the
gears while the engine is running
and the stand is down, the switch
automatically turns off the engine
by cutting the current supply.
If the motorcycle is parked (side-
stand down) and the gears are
engaged, the switch prevents the
engine from being started, thereby
avoiding the risk of accidentally top-
pling the vehicle.
Some versions of the motorcycle fit
a device that automatically pulls up
the sidestand as soon as the vehi-
cle is lifted from the parking posi-
tion.
