Ducati Diavel Owners Manual: Side stand
Important
Before lowering the side stand, check that the ground is sufficiently even and firm.
Do not park on soft or pebbled ground or on asphalt melted by the sun heat and similar or the motorcycle may fall over.
When parking on a slope, always park with the rear wheel on the downhill side.
To pull down the side stand, hold the motorcycle handlebars with both hands and push down on the side stand (1) with your foot until it is fully extended. Tilt the motorcycle until the side stand is resting on the ground.
Warning
Do not sit on the motorcycle when it is supported on the side stand.
To raise the side stand to rest position (horizontal), tilt the motorcycle to the right and, at the same time, lift the stand (1) with your foot.
Note
Check for proper operation of the stand mechanism (two springs, one into the other) and the safety sensor (2) at regular intervals.
