Ducati MONSTER 696 User Manual

Beam setting
To check the headlight aim, place the motorcycle
upright with the tyres inflated to the correct pressure
and one person sitting astride the motorcycle. The
motorcycle should be perfectly vertical, with its
longitudinal axis at right angles to a wall or screen at
a distance of 10 metres. Draw a horizontal line at the
height of the centre of the headlamp and a vertical
one at the longitudinal axis of the motorcycle. If
possible, perform this check in dim light. Switch on
the low beam. The height of the upper limit between
the dark area and the lit area must not be more than
nine tenths of the height of the centre of the headlight
from the ground.
Note
This is the procedure specified by Italian
regulations for checking the maximum height of the
light beam. Owners in other countries will adapt said
procedure to the provisions in force in their countries.
