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

5. If a headlight needs adjustment, access the adjustment screw under

the hood or through the wheel well.

6. Loosen the screw, adjust the headlight, and tighten the screw.

7. Repeat steps 4-6 until the lamp is properly adjusted.
