tened on the motorcycle in two

different positions.

move all screws 2 and take off

windshield.

sponding hole 3 while watching

bushing 4 (inserted from be-

Windshield in bracket

2 lb/ft (2.5 Nm)

Headlight

Headlight range and

spring preload

The headlight range generally

remains constant due to the ad-

justment of the spring preload to

the loading state.

Spring preload adjustment may

only be insufficient when the mo-

torcycle is very heavily loaded.

In this case, the headlight range

must be adjusted to the weight.

NOTICE

If there are doubts as to the cor-

rect headlight range, have the

adjustment checked by a spe-

cialized workshop, preferably by

an authorized BMW Motorrad

retailer.
