Headlight Adjustment
Each headlight can be adjusted by
means of vertical and horizontal
adjustment screws located on the rear
of each headlight. In addition, the
headlight is equipped with an easily
accessible adjuster to allow the vertical
adjustment to be corrected when the
motorcycle is fully loaded.
1. Horizontal (LEFT - RIGHT)
adjustment screw
2. Vertical (UP - DOWN) adjustment
screw
3. Headlight adjuster lever for loaded
conditions
Switch the headlight dipped beam on.
Tur n t h e ve r ti c a l (UP - D OWN )
adjustment screw on the headlight
clockwise to raise the beam or
anti-clockwise to lower the beam.
Turn the horizontal (LEFT - RIGHT)
adjustment screw clockwise to move the
beam to the right or anticlockwise to
move the beam to the left.
Switch the headlights off when the beam
settings are satisfactory.
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 taping of the
headlight lens required during closed-
course conditions – the headlight
must be disconnected.
