Suzuki GSX-R. Side stand

An interlock switch is provided to cut off the ignition circuit when the side stand is down and the transmission is in any gear other than neutral.

The side stand/ignition interlock switch works as follows:

if the side stand is down and the transmission is in gear, the engine can not be started.
if the engine is running and the transmission is shifted into gear with the side stand down, the engine will stop running.
if the engine is running and the side stand is put down with the transmission in gear, the engine will stop running.

Warning

Riding with the side stand incompletely retracted can result in an accident when you turn left.

Check operation of the side stand/ignition interlock system before riding.
Always retract the side stand completely before starting off.

Caution

Park the motorcycle on firm, level ground to help prevent it from falling over.

If you must park on an incline, aim the front of the motorcycle uphill and put the transmission into 1st gear to reduce the possibility of rolling off the side stand.
