Headlamp range and
spring preload
The headlight range generally
remains constant due to the ad-
justment of the spring preload to
the loading state. The headlight
range is correctly adjusted at the
factory.
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.
