Headlight Beam Inspection
Poor lighting can result in reduced visibility when driving. Headlight and taillight lenses become dirty during normal operation. Clean lights frequently and replace burned out lamps promptly. Always make sure lights are adjusted properly for best visibility.
The headlight beam can be adjusted slightly upward or downward. Use the following procedure to make the adjustment.
-
Position the vehicle on a level surface with the headlight approximately 25 ft. (7.6 m) from a wall 1. Place the transmission in PARK.
-
Measure the distance from the floor to the center of the headlight and make a mark on the wall at the same height.
-
Start the engine. Turn the headlight switch to high beam.
-
Observe the headlight aim on the wall. The most intense part of the headlight beam should be 2 in. (5 cm) below the mark on the wall2. Include rider weight on the seat when measuring.
-
The adjustment screw is located on the left side of the headlight pod. To adjust the beam, loosen the screw. Adjust the headlamp to the desired position, then tighten the screw.
