Headlight Alignment
The headlight should be checked for correct alignment
periodically. It must be aligned any time the suspension sag is
adjusted because this will affect the headlight alignment. Before
the headlight can be aligned, the suspension sag and tire
pressure must be correctly adjusted. The headlight can be
adjusted vertically. If the vertical adjustment is off, it will cause
the beam to point too close to or too far ahead of the motorcycle.
With the headlight on the low beam position, the motorcycle
perpendicular to the ground, and the operator sitting on the
motorcycle, verify the beam alignment. The motorcycle is
shipped with the headlight at a 0.5-2.5% dip.
The four headlight assembly retaining bolts (A) are located on
the sides of the headlight assembly retaining brackets. To adjust
the headlight, loosen all four bolts, pivot the assembly until the
correct beam alignment is achieved, then tighten all tighten
bolts.
