HOW TO RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE 59 Stopping the Engine Close the throttle completely. Shift the transmission into neutral. Turn the ignition key to "OFF". Support the motorcycle on a firm, level surface with the side stand. Lock the steering. Stopping the Motorcycle in an Emergency Your Kawasaki Motorcycle has been designed and manufactured to provide you optimum safety and convenience. However, in order to fully benefit from Kawasaki's safety engineering and craftsmanship, it is essential that you, the owner and operator, properly maintain your motorcycle and become thoroughly familiar with its operation. Improper maintenance can create a dangerous situation known as throttle failure. Two of the most common causes of throttle failure are: 1. An improperly serviced or clogged air cleaner may allow dirt and dust to enter the throttle body and stick the throttle open. 2. During removal of the air cleaner, dirt is allowed to enter and jam the fuel injection system. NOTE żThe motorcycle is equipped with a vehicle-down sensor, which causes the engine to stop automatically and the fuel injection indicator light to flash when the motorcycle falls down. After righting the motorcycle, first turn the ignition key to "OFF" and then back to "ON" before starting the engine.
