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 switch is on the inner fairing cap. Using the fork lock immediately after parking your motorcycle will discourage unauthorized use or theft. The fork lock switch is locked with the key.
The fork lock switch must be rotated to the LOCKED position before using the key to lock the switch. Forcing the switch into the LOCKED position can damage the switch.
The engine will not start unless the fork lock switch is fully in the UNLOCKED position. Turning the fork lock switch out of the UNLOCKED position at any time causes the engine to shut off. Only use the fork lock switch when the motorcycle is parked.
NOTE
Do not open the switch cover unless the fork lock switch is in the LOCKED position. Opening the cover when the switch is not in the LOCKED position can damage the inner fairing.
