replace burned out lamps promptly. Always make sure lights are adjusted
properly for best visibility.
The headlight beam can be adjusted slightly upward or downward. Use the
following procedure to make the adjustment.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface with the headlight approximately 25 ft.
(7.6 m) from a wall

2. Measure the distance from the floor to the center of the headlight and make a
mark on the wall at the same height.
3. Start the engine. Turn the headlight switch to high beam.
4. Observe the headlight aim on the wall. The most intense part of the headlight
beam should be 2 in. (5 cm) below the mark on the wall
w
. Include rider
weight on the seat when measuring.
5. The adjustment screw is located on the left side of the headlight pod. To
