Beam setting
Note
The headlight features a double beam
adjustment, one for the right beam and one for the
left beam
To check the headlight aim, place the motorcycle
upright with the tires 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 32.8 feet (10 meters). Draw a horizontal
line corresponding to the center of the headlamp and
a vertical one in line with the longitudinal axis of
motorcycle. If possible, perform this check in dim
light. Switch on the low beam and adjust the aiming
of the left and right-hand beams. The height of the
upper limit between the dark area and the lit area
must not be more than nine tenths of the height from
ground of headlight center.
