Headlight

Headlight aiming should be done by an authorized Kawasaki dealer.

Headlight Aiming Adjustment

NOTE
The left and right adjusters on the headlight can move the direction of the headlight beam up, down, left, and right by turning each adjuster itself as the below table.

A. Left Adjuster
B. Right Adjuster

• To move the headlight beam leftward, tum the left adjuster clockwise and turn the right adjuster counterclockwise the same number until the beam points straight ahead.
• To move the headlight beam rightward, turn the left adjuster counter-clockwise and turn the right adjuster clockwise the same number until the beam points straight ahead.
• If not properly adjusted horizontally, the beam will point to one side rather than straight ahead.
• To move the headlight beam upward, turn both adjusters clockwise to the same number.
• To move the headlight beam downward, turn both adjusters counterclockwise to the same number.
• 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.

NOTE
On a high beam, the brightest points should be slightly below horizontal. The proper angle is 0.4 degrees below the 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.
