Headlight
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 dazzling 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.
Headlight adjustment
Warning!
- Make sure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported.
- A correctly supported motorcycle will help prevent it from falling.
- An unstable motorcycle may fall, causing injury to the operator or damage to the motorcycle.
Vertical adjustment
Note: The vertical beams of the left hand and right hand headlights can only be adjusted together. Independent adjustment is not possible.
1. Switch the headlight dipped beam on.
2. Loosen the two fixings securing the headlight bracket to the front subframe sufficiently to allow restricted movement of the headlights.
3. Using the alignment mark on the bracket and the alignment markings on the front subframe, adjust the position of the headlights to give the required beam setting. Each mark on the front subframe represents 1°. Moving the bracket forwards will move the headlight upwards. Moving the bracket rearwards will move the headlights downwards.
