Beam setting
To check the headlight aim, place the motorcycle
upright with the tyres inflated to the correct pressure
and one person sitting astride the motorcycle. The
motorcycle should be perfectly vertical, with its
longitudinal axis at right angles to a wall or screen at
a distance of 10 metres. then draw a horizontal line
dictated by headlamp centre and a vertical one in line
with the longitudinal axis of motorcycle. If possible,
perform this check in dim light. Turn the low beam on
and adjust both the right-hand and left-hand light
beam: the height of the light spot (measured at the
upper limit between dark and lighted-up area) should
not exceed 9/10th of the height from ground of
headlamp centre.
