HEADLIGHT
Headlight beam throw and
spring setting
The headlight beam throw gen-
erally remains constant by ad-
justment of the spring setting
to the load status.
Adjustment of the spring
setting may only be inadequate
if the load is very high. In
this case, the headlight beam
throw must be adjusted to the
weight.
If there are doubts about
the correct headlight
beam throw, have the setting
checked by a specialist work-
shop, preferably an authorised
BMW Motorrad dealer.
Adjusting headlight beam
throw
If, with a high load, the adjust-
ment of the spring setting is no
longer sufficient not to dazzle
oncoming traffic:
Slacken screws
1
with the
tool from the on-board toolkit.
Do not place the motor-
cycle on its centre stand
or side stand.
Pivot the headlight down
slightly (depending on
the load carried on the
motorcycle) to shorten the
headlight beam throw.
