WARNING
Do not operate vehicle with forks locked. Locking the forks restricts the vehicle's turning ability, which could result in death or serious injury. (00035a)
NOTICE
Protect your vehicle against theft. Failure to lock the motorcycle after parking could result in theft and/or equipment damage. (00151b)
See Figure 1. The fork lock knob is on the dash panel. Using the fork lock immediately after parking your motorcycle will discourage unauthorized use or theft. The fork lock knob can be locked with the key, key fob lock button, or power lock switches in the fairing cap.
NOTE
The fork lock knob must be rotated to the LOCKED position before using the key or power lock features to lock the knob. Forcing the knob into the LOCKED position can damage the knob.
The engine will not start unless the fork lock knob is fully in the UNLOCKED position. Turning the fork lock knob out of the UNLOCKED position at any time causes the engine to shut off. Only use the fork lock knob when the motorcycle is parked.
NOTE
Do not open the cover unless the fork lock knob is in the LOCKED position. Opening the cover when the knob is not in the LOCKED position can damage the inner fairing.
