MAINTENANCE

Headlight Beam Inspection

The high beam should shine straight

forward. The low beam will spread more

toward the right (U.S./Canada).
1. Before checking the headlight beam,

verify that tire pressure (page 127) and

rear suspension ride height (page 101)

are at specification.

2. Position the motorcycle on a level

surface with the headlight approximately

25 ft. (7.6 m) from a wall.

3. Measure the distance from the floor to

the center of the headlight and make a mark

on the wall at the same height.

4. Sit on the motorcycle and bring it to the upright position. Turn the ignition switch to ON and put the headlights

on high beam.

5. Observe the headlight aim on the wall. The top of the beam should be slightly below the mark on the wall. Use

the procedure on page 139 to make headlight adjustments.
