HEADLIGHT
Headlamp range and spring
preload
The headlamp range gener-
ally remains constant due to
the adjustment of the spring
preload to the loading state.
Spring preload adjustment
may only be insufficient when
the motorcycle is very heavily
loaded. In this case, the head-
lamp range must be adjusted
to the weight.
If there are doubts as
to the correct headlight
range, have the adjustment
checked by a specialized work-
shop, preferably by an autho-
rized BMW Motorrad retailer.
Adjusting the headlight beam

Requirement
When the spring preload ad-
justment is no longer able to

height to avoid dazzling on-

vehicle payloads.
