CHECKING/ADJUSTING HEADLIGHT
AIM
The headlights can be adjusted vertically and horizon-
tally. The geometric center of the HIGH beam light zone
is to be used for vertical and horizontal aiming.
1. Position the ATV on a level floor so the headlights
are approximately 6.1 m (20 ft) from an aiming sur-
face (wall or similar aiming surface).
ATV-0070C
NOTE: There should be an average operating load
on the ATV when adjusting the headlight aim.
2. Measure the distance from the floor to the mid-point
of each headlight.
3. Using the measurements obtained in step 2, make
horizontal marks on the aiming surface.
4. Make vertical marks which intersect the horizontal
marks on the aiming surface directly in front of the
headlights.
5. Switch on the lights. Make sure the HIGH beam is
on. DO NOT USE LOW BEAM.
6. Observe each headlight beam aim. Proper aim is
when the most intense beam is centered on the verti-
cal mark 5 cm (2 in.) below the horizontal mark on
the aiming surface.
7. Adjust each headlight by turning the adjuster screw
clockwise to raise the beam or counterclockwise to
lower the beam.

CHECKING ADJUSTMENT
KC165
With the engine stopped and the brake lever lock
engaged, turn the ignition switch to the ON position; then
shift the transmission into each of the gear positions and
note that the gear position indicated on the LCD corre-
sponds to the gear position selected by the lever.
If the indicator does not correspond to the selected gear,
it will be necessary to test drive the ATV to determine if
the gear position switch is faulty or the shift lever needs
adjustment.
If the ATV functions in the gear selected by the shift
lever, troubleshoot the gear position switch (see Electri-
cal System).
If the ATV functions but the shift lever does not corre-
spond with the gear indicated on the LCD, adjust the shift
linkage. To adjust, proceed to ADJUSTING.
ADJUSTING
1. Remove the seat; then remove the left-side engine
cover.
2. With the ignition switch in the ON position, loosen
jam nut (A) (left-hand threads); then loosen jam nut
(C) and with the shift lever in the reverse position,
adjust the coupler (B) until the transmission is in
reverse and the “R” icon appears on the LCD.

3. Tighten the jam nuts securely; then shift the trans-
mission to each position and verify correct adjust-
ment.
