MAINTENANCE
Lights
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. Do not operate this vehicle at night or in low light conditions until the headlight is
replaced. Always make sure lights are adjusted properly for best visibility.
When servicing a halogen lamp, don't touch the lamp with bare fingers. Oil from your skin
leaves a residue, causing a hot spot that will shorten the life of the lamp.
Headlight Lamp Replacement
1. Open the hood.
CAUTION! Hot components can cause burns to skin.
Allow lamps to cool before servicing.
2. Unplug the headlamp from the wiring harness.
Be sure to pull on the connector, not on the
wiring.
3. Turn the lamp counter-clockwise to remove it.
4. Install the new lamp.
Tip: Make sure the tab on the lamp locates properly in the
housing.
5. Reinstall the harness assembly into the headlight
assembly.
Headlight Beam Adjustment
1. Place the vehicle on a level
surface with the headlight
approximately 25 ft. (7.6 m)
from a wall.
2. Measure the distance from the
floor to the center of the
headlight and make a mark on
the wall at the same height.
3. Apply the brakes. Turn the key
on. Turn the headlights on.
4. Observe the headlight aim. The
most intense part of the
headlight beam should be aimed 8" (20 cm) below the mark placed on the wall. Include
the weight of a rider on the seat while performing this step.
5. If a headlight needs adjustment, access the adjustment screws under the hood or through
the wheel well.
6. Repeat steps 4-5 until the lamp is properly adjusted.
