Headlight Adjustment
Vertical headlight adjustment is performed
electrically via the instruments, see
Adjustment on page 42. For horizontal
adjustment consult your authorised Triumph
dealer.
Headlight Bulb Replacement
Note:
• It is not necessary to remove the
headlight when bulb replacement
becomes necessary.
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.
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.
The bulbs become hot during use. Always
allow sufficient time for the bulb to cool
before handling. Avoid touching the glass
part of the bulb. If the glass is touched or
gets dirty, clean with alcohol before reuse.
The use of non-approved headlight bulbs
may result in damage to the headlight lens.
Use a genuine Triumph supplied headlight
bulb as specified in the Triumph Parts
Catalogue.
Always have replacement headlight bulbs
installed by an authorised Triumph dealer.
