1.19 HEADLAMP
HEADLAMP ALIGNMENT
The automatic-on headlamp feature provides increased
visibility of the rider to other motorists. Be sure headlamp
is on at all times. Poor visibility of rider to other motorists
can result in death or serious injury. (00030b)
NOTE
Vehicles with multiple beam headlamps that are individually
aimed should be adjusted so both lamps converge into one
pattern.
1. Verify that front and rear tire inflation pressures are correct
and that suspension is adjusted to the weight of the prin-
cipal rider. See
1.8 TIRES AND WHEELS .
2. Fill fuel tank or add ballast to equal the weight of the fuel
needed.
NOTE
See Figure 1-51 . To aid in properly placing the motorcycle, a
perpendicular line (1) can be drawn on the floor. For best res-
ults, choose an area with minimum light.
3. Draw a vertical line (2) on the wall.
4. Position motorcycle so that front axle is 25 ft (7.6 m) from
wall.
NOTE
As the weight of the rider will compress the suspension slightly,
have a person whose weight is approximately the same as that
of the principal rider sit on the motorcycle.
5. With the vehicle laden and upright, point the front wheel
straight forward at wall and measure the distance (4) from
the floor to the center of the HIGH BEAM bulb.
6. Draw a horizontal line (5) through the vertical line on the
wall that is 2.1 in (53.3 mm) lower than the measured bulb
centerline.

Figure 1-51. Checking Headlamp Alignment
7. Verify headlamp alignment. Turn the ignition switch to
IGNITION and set the headlamp switch to HIGH beam.
a. The center of the hot spot (brightest area of light
beam) should be centered where the two lines inter-
sect.
b. Adjust headlamp alignment if necessary.
HEADLAMP ADJUSTMENT: FIREBOLT
HIGH beam and LOW beam have independent adjuster screws.
See Figure 1-52 . The HIGH Beam adjuster (1) is on the left
and the LOW Beam adjuster (2) is on the right beneath the
front fairing.
If headlamp requires adjustment, perform the following as
required:
• To lower beam: Turn adjuster clockwise.
• To raise beam: Turn adjuster counterclockwise.
