144 ADJUSTMENT
MIRRORS
Adjusting mirrors
Pivot the mirror to the correct
position by pressing gently at
the edge of the glass.
HEADLIGHT
Headlight beam throw and
spring preload
Headlight beam throw is gen-
erally kept constant by adjust-
ment of spring preload.
Spring preload adjustment
might not suffice only if the
motorcycle is very heavily
loaded. Under these circum-
stances, headlight beam throw
has to be adjusted to suit the
load carried by the motorcycle.
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
Requirement
If, for a high load, the adjust-
ment of the spring pre-load
is no longer sufficient not to
dazzle oncoming traffic:
Adjust headlight beam throw
by turning adjusting screw 1 .
WINDSCREEN
Adjusting windscreen
Switch on the ignition ( 62).
As you ride off, the wind-
screen automatically moves
to its last position before the
ignition was switched off.
