[QUOTE="Wee Willy, post: 639771, member: 17731"] If you're pointed nose-first down a shallow hill then keep her in first gear and you'll be fine. If the hill is steep with an angle that approaches the angle between the stand in it's down position and a line straight down from the bike (an angle I just measured at about 12 degrees in the vertical plane local to the bike with my iPhone...gotta love these things) then point yer nose uphill and, again, keep her in gear. Bottom line, it's always a good idea to keep her in low gear when she's parked on a hill. Cheers, W2 [/QUOTE]
