Horizontal Adjustment
The headlight beam is adjustable horizontally. If not properly adjusted horizontally, the beam will point to one side rather than straight ahead. Turn the horizontal adjuster in or out until the beam points straight ahead.

A. Horizontal Adjusters
B. Vertical Adjusters

Vertical Adjustment
The headlight beam is adjustable vertically. If adjusted too low, neither low nor high beam will illuminate the road far enough ahead. If adjusted too high, the high beam will fail to illuminate the road close ahead, and the low beam will blind oncoming drivers. Turn the vertical adjuster in or out to adjust the headlight vertically.

NOTE
On high beam, the brightest points should be slightly below horizontal. The proper angle is 0.4 degrees be- low horizontal. This is a 50 mm (2.0 in.) drop at 7.6 m (25 ft) measured from the center of the headlight, with the motorcycle on its wheels and the rider seated.
