Kawasaki Ninja Owners Manual / How to ride the motorcycle / Parking

WARNING

Operating or parking the vehicle near flammable materials can cause a fire, and can result in property damage or severe personal injury.

Do not idle or park your vehicle in an area where tall or dry vegetation, or other flammable materials could come into contact with the muffler or exhaust pipe.

The engine and exhaust system get extremely hot during normal operation and can cause serious burns.

Never touch a hot engine, exhaust pipe, or muffler during operation or after stopping the engine.

Shift the transmission into neutral and turn the ignition key to “OFF”.
Support the motorcycle on a firm, level surface with the side stand.

NOTICE

Do not park on a soft or steeply inclined surface, or the motorcycle may fall over.

If parking inside a garage or other structure, be sure it is well ventilated and the motorcycle is not close to any source of flame or sparks; this includes any appliance with a pilot light.

WARNING

Gasoline is extremely flammable and can be explosive under certain conditions.

Lock the steering to prevent theft.
