What does the LOCK position do?

• A. It allows the key to be removed and engages the steering lock mechanism.
• B. It starts the engine.
• C. It activates the taillights.
• D. It disables the ignition.

Answer: (A)

The LOCK position is about security when you park. In this position the steering lock engages, so the handlebars are locked and the bike is harder to move. It also allows you to remove the key, letting you leave the bike unattended. With the ignition effectively off in LOCK, the engine won’t start and the electrical system is shut down. Starting the engine requires the ON (or START) position, while taillights only come on when the ignition is on. So this option best describes how the LOCK position secures the bike and allows key removal.
