But it might not be so obvious when you have your bike on a lift stand or a dolly. Check that your side stand is all the way up.
Why? Because most of the newer motorcycles come out with a safety feature that cuts the engine if the side stand is down while in gear.
This safety feature is there so that you don’t start riding when the side stand is down. If that does happen and you lean to the left, the side stand hits the road and flings your rear wheel into the air.
