BMW G 650 XCOUNTRY User Manual

Headlight beam throw and
spring preload
Headlight beam throw is gener-
ally kept constant when spring
preload is adjusted to suit load.
Spring preload adjustment might
not suffice only if the motorcycle
is very heavily loaded. Under
these circumstances, headlight
beam throw has to be adjusted
to suit the weight carried by the
motorcycle.
Consult a specialist work-
shop, preferably an au-
thorised BMW Motorrad deal-
er, if you are unsure whether
the headlight basic setting is
correct.
Screws 1 on left and right al-
low the height of the headlight
to be adjusted. This adjustment
should be carried out by a spe-
cialist workshop, preferably an
authorised BMW Motorrad deal-
er.
