Headlight Beam Adjustment

1. Place the vehicle on a level surface with the headlight approxi-

mately 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. Start the engine. Turn on the headlights.
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 in step 2.

NOTE:

Include the weight of a rider on the seat while performing this step.

5. If the headlight needs

adjustment, open the

hood.

NOTE:

The lights are part of the

hood assembly.

6. Turn the adjustment screw

to adjust the beam.

7. Close the hood. Repeat

steps 4-6 until the beam is

properly adjusted.
