Parking - Ducati MH 900 Evoluzione 2001 Anleitung- Und Instandhaltungsheft

Parking

Stop the motorcycle, then put it on the side stand to park
it (see page 21).
To avoid theft, turn the handlebar fully left and turn the
key to LOCK position.
If you park in a garage or other facilities, make sure that
there is proper ventilation and that the motorcycle is not
near a source of heat or sparks.
If needed, you may leave the parking lights on by turning
the key to position P (fig. 20).
Important
Do not leave the key turned to P for long periods or
the battery will run down. Never leave the ignition key in
the switch when you are leaving your bike unattended.
Warning
Using padlocks or other locks designed to prevent
motorcycle motion, such as brake disc locks, rear
sprocket locks, and so on, is dangerous and may impair
motorcycle operation and affect rider safety.
Warning
The exhaust silencer (see page 19) stays hot for a
long time (several dozens of minutes) after engine has
been stopped. Be sure not to touch the exhaust silencer
with any body parts when mounting or dismounting.
