Headlight beam throw and
spring preload
Headlight beam throw is gener-
ally kept constant when spring
preload is adjusted to suit load.
However, a spring preload ad-
justment might not suffice if
the motorcycle is very heavily
loaded. Under these circum-
stances, headlight beam throw
has to be adjusted to suit the
weight carried by the motorcycle.
If there are doubts about
the correct headlight range,
seek the advice of a specialist
workshop, preferably an author-
ised BMW Motorrad dealer.
