See Your Motorcycle → Primary Controls and Service Components. The jiffy stand is located on the left side of the motorcycle.
When parking your motorcycle on a grade, position the motorcycle with front tire uphill. Place a wheel stop, such as a street curb or wheel chock, behind the rear tire to prevent movement of motorcycle.
The jiffy stand must be in the raised position for the motorcycle to allow propulsion. A symbol and instruction will appear on the instrument module to raise the jiffy stand if attempting to enable propulsion with jiffy stand down. Raising jiffy stand will allow propulsion to be enabled.
While the motorcycle is in motion at speeds greater than 15km/h (10mph), lowering the jiffy stand will not stop the motorcycle.
