Section 05 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Subsection 05 (ACCESSORIES AND LIGHTING SYSTEM)
Disconnect headlamps.
On RH side of vehicle, remove the push nut then
remove the headlamp housing.
Installation
Reverse the removal procedure.
HEADLAMP BEAM AIMING
Beam aiming is correct when center of high beam
is 25 mm (1 in) below the headlamp horizontal cen-
ter line, scribed on a test surface, 381 cm (12 ft
6 in) away.
Place the vehicle on a flat surface perpendicular to
test surface (wall or screen) and 381 cm (12 ft 6 in)
away from it.
Rider or equivalent weight must be on the vehicle.
Select high beam.
Measure headlamp center distance from ground.
Scribe a line at this height on test surface (wall
or screen). Light beam center should be 25 mm
(1 in) below scribed line.

RESISTANCE 17 to 23.5 8.5 to 11.8
NOTE
When measuring resistance at terminals the actual
value will be half the measurement in table. The
reason for that is the elements are connected
in parallel. Therefore the total resistance is half
the resistance of one element.
If the heating elements are good, check connec-
tors and wiring harness.
