Beam setting
Note
The headlight features a double adjustment,
one for the right-hand and one for the left-hand light
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. 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
lit-up area) should not exceed 9/10th of the height
from ground of headlamp center.
