Maintenance and Adjustment
Headlight Vertical Adjustment
1. Vertical beam adjuster
2. Headlight mounting bracket
Switch the headlight low beam on.
Turn the steering fully to the left.
On the right hand side, loosen the clamp
bolts sufficiently to allow restricted movement
of the headlight.
With the handlebars in the straight ahead
position, adjust the position of the headlight
to give the required beam setting.
Tighten the clamp bolt to 80 lbf in (9 Nm).
Re-check the headlight beam setting.
Switch the headlight off when the beam
setting is satisfactorily set.
Headlight Bulb Replacement
It is necessary to remove the headlight from
the headlight bowl to gain access to the
bulbs.
Remove the rider’s seat (see page 47).
Disconnect the battery, negative (black) lead
first.
Undo the fixings securing the headlight
clamp to the headlight body.
Support the headlight while removing the
clamp.
Remove the headlight from its bowl while
supporting it to prevent the cables from
being over extended.
Disconnect the multi-pin electrical connector
from the headlight bulb and remove the
rubber cover.
Detach the wire retainer from its clip then
remove the bulb from the light unit.
The bulbs become hot during use. Always
allow sufficient time for the bulbs to cool
before handling. Avoid touching the glass
part of the bulb. If the glass is touched or
gets dirty, clean with alcohol before re-use.
