Maintenance and Adjustment
124
Headlights
Adjust road speed to suit the visibility
and weather conditions in which the
motorcycle is being operated.
Make sure that the beams are
adjusted to illuminate the road
surface sufficiently far ahead without
dazzling oncoming traffic. An
incorrectly adjusted headlight may
impair visibility causing an accident.
Never attempt to adjust a headlight
beam when the motorcycle is in
motion.
Any attempt to adjust a headlight
beam when the motorcycle is in
motion may result in loss of control
and an accident.
If the motorcycle is to be used under
closed-course conditions, you may be
asked to tape the visible outer surface
of the headlight.
When taped, the headlight will
overheat and distort the outer
surface. Therefore, to avoid headlight
distortion, always disconnect the
headlights when they are taped for
use under closed course conditions.
Do not cover the headlight or lens
with any item likely to obstruct air
flow to, or prevent heat escaping from,
the headlight lens.
Covering the headlight lens during
operation with items of clothing,
luggage, adhesive tape, devices
intended to alter or adjust the
headlight beam or non genuine
headlight lens covers will cause the
headlight lens to overheat and distort,
causing irreparable damage to the
headlight assembly.
Damage caused by overheating is not
considered a manufacturing defect
and will not be covered under
warranty.
If the headlight must be covered
during use, such as the taping of the
headlight lens required during closed-
course conditions, the headlight must
be disconnected.
