Headlight aim
(fig. 55)
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.
Draw a horizontal line on the wall at the height of the
centre of the headlight and a vertical one in line with the
longitudinal axis of the motorcycle.
If possible, perform this check in conditions of low
ambient light.
Switch on the low beam headlight:
the upper edge between the dark area and the lit area
should not be above 9/10th of the height of the headlamp
centre from the ground.
Notes
Note: this procedure is the one specified by Italian
regulations for checking the maximum height of light beams.
Owners in other countries should adapt this procedure
to the regulations in force in the country where the
motorcycle is used.
The vertical aim of the headlamp is adjusted by turning the
screws (1, fig. 56) that attach it to the side mountings.
