Maintenance and Adjustment
Headlights
Note:
• Always ensure the handlebars are
in the straight ahead position
when checking and adjusting the
headlight beam setting.
Adjust road speed to suit the visibility and
weather conditions in which the motorcycle
is being operated.
Ensure that the beam is adjusted to
illuminate the road surface sufficiently far
ahead without blinding 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.
Do not cover the headlight or lens with any
item likely to obstruct air flow to, or
prevent heat escaping from, the headlight
lens.
Covering the headlight lens during
operation with items of clothing, luggage,
adhesive tape, devices intended to alter or
adjust the headlight beam or non genuine
headlight lens covers will cause the
headlight lens to overheat and distort,
causing irreparable damage to the
headlight assembly.
Damage caused by overheating is not
considered a manufacturing defect and will
not be covered under warranty.
If the headlight must be covered during
use – such as taping of the headlight lens
required during closed-course conditions –
the headlight must be disconnected.
