Use valve caps with rubber seals
and screw them on firmly to pre-
vent sudden tire deflation.

Headlight
Adjusting headlight for
RHD/LHD traffic
If the motorcycle is ridden in a
country where the opposite rule
of the road applies, its asymmet-
ric low-beam headlight will tend
to dazzle oncoming traffic.
Have the headlight adjusted to
the relevant conditions by a spe-
cialized workshop, preferably an
authorized BMW Motorrad retail-
er.
Ordinary adhesive tape
damages the plastic lens.
To prevent damage to the plastic
lens, consult a specialized work-
shop, preferably an authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer.
Headlight range and
spring preload
The headlight range remains
constant due to the adjustment
of the spring preload to the load-
ing state.
If you are unsure whether
the basic headlight setting
is correct, consult a specialized
workshop, preferably an autho-
rized BMW Motorrad retailer.
