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.
