Aligning the headlight
Check correct headlight aiming. Position the
motorcycle 10 metres from a wall or a screen, the
motorcycle must be perfectly upright with the tires
inflated to the correct pressure and with a rider
seated, perfectly perpendicular to the longitudinal
axis. On the wall or surface, draw a horizontal line at
the same height from the ground as the centre of the
headlight and a vertical line aligned with the
longitudinal axis of the motorcycle. If possible,
perform this check in dim light. Switch on the low
beam. The height of the upper limit between the dark
area and the lit area must not be more than 9/10 of the
height from the ground of the headlight centre.
Note
This is the procedure specified by Italian
regulations for checking the maximum height of the
light beam. Please adapt said procedure to the
provisions in force in your own country.
