Headlight beam throw and
spring preload
Headlight beam throw is gener-
ally kept constant when spring
preload is adjusted to suit load.
Spring preload adjustment might
not suffice only if the motorcycle
is very heavily loaded. Under
these circumstances, headlight
beam throw has to be adjusted
to suit the weight carried by the
motorcycle.
NOTICE
If there are doubts about the cor-
rect headlight beam throw, have
the setting checked by a special-
ist workshop, preferably an au-
thorised BMW Motorrad dealer.
Adjusting headlight beam
throw
If, for a high load, the adjust-
ment of the spring pre-load is
no longer sufficient not to dazzle
oncoming traffic:
