WARNING
Do not modify ignition/light switch wiring to circumvent
the automatic-on headlight feature. High visibility is an
important consideration for motorcycle riders. Failure to
have headlight on at all times could cause an accident,
resulting in death or serious injury.
Check headlights for proper alignment:
● When the new owner takes delivery of the motorcycle.
●
When there is a change in load (adding luggage, etc.).

screen or wall that measures 34-36 in. (86-91 cm) above
floor.
2. See Figure 1-57. Position motorcycle 25 ft (7.6 m) away
from a screen or wall by measure the distance from the
front axle to the screen/wall.
3. Verify correct front and rear tire pressure. See 1.7 TIRES
AND WHEELS .
