Headlight Alignment
The headlight should periodically be checked for
correct alignment. It must be aligned any time the
suspension sag is adjusted because this will affect
the headlight alignment. Before the headlight can be
aligned, the suspension and tire pressure must be
correctly adjusted. The headlight can be adjusted
horizontally and vertically. If the horizontal adjustment
is off, the beam will point too far off to one side.
If the vertical adjustment is off, it will cause the beam
to point too closely to or too far ahead of the
motorcycle. With the headlight on the low beam
position, the motorcycle perpendicular to the ground,
and the operator sitting on the motorcycle, verify the
beam alignment. The headlight is adjusted at the
factory with a 0.5-2.5% dip.
To adjust the headlight, remove the adjustment nut
cover. Loosen the nut (A) and move the headlight until
the correct beam alignment is achieved. Tighten the
bolt. Install the adjustment nut cover.
