Headlight Adjustment - Vertical
1. Vertical beam adjuster bolts
The vertical beams of the left and right hand
headlights can only be adjusted together.
Independent adjustment is not possible.
Switch the headlight dipped beam on.
Slacken the clamp bolts sufficiently to allow
restricted movement of the headlights.
Adjust the position of the headlights to give
the required beam setting.
Tighten the clamp bolts, front first, to 15 N m .
Re-check the headlight beam settings.
Switch the headlights off when the beam
settings are satisfactorily set.
Adjust road speed to suit the visibility and
weather conditions in which the motorcycle
is being operated.
Ensure that the beams are adjusted to
illuminate the road surface sufficiently far
ahead without dazzling oncoming traffic.
An incorrectly adjusted headlight may
impair visibility causing an accident.
Never attempt to adjust a headlamp beam
when the motorcycle is in motion.
Any attempt to adjust a headlamp beam
when the motorcycle is in motion may
result in loss of control and an accident.
If the motorcycle is to be used under
closed-course conditions, you may be
asked to tape the visible outer surface of
the headlight
When taped, the headlight will overheat
and distort the outer surface. Therefore, to
avoid headlight distortion, always
disconnect the headlights when they are
taped for use under closed-course
conditions.
