Headlights
Warning
Adjust road speed to suit the visibility
and weather conditions in which the
motorcycle is being operated.
Make sure that the head light beam is
adjusted to illuminate the road surface
sufficiently far ahead without blinding
oncoming traffic.
An incorrectly adjusted headlight may
impair visibility causing an accident.
Warning
Never attempt to adjust a headlight
beam when the motorcycle is in
motion.
Any attempt to adjust a headlight
beam when the motorcycle is in
motion may result in loss of control
and an accident.
Caution
Do not cover the headlight or lens with
any item likely to obstruct air flow to,
or prevent heat escaping from, the
headlight lens.
Covering the headlight lens during
operation with items of clothing,
luggage, adhesive tape, devices
intended to alter or adjust the
headlight beam or non genuine
headlight lens covers will cause the
headlight lens to overheat and distort,
causing irreparable damage to the
headlight assembly.
Damage caused by overheating is
not considered a manufacturing
defect and will not be covered under
warranty.
If the headlight must be covered
during use - such as taping of
the headlight lens required during
closed-course conditions - the
headlight must be disconnected.
