Headlight

Headlight beam throw and
spring preload
Headlight beam throw is gener-
ally kept constant when spring
preload is adjusted to suit load.
Spring preload adjustment might
not suffice only if the motorcycle
is very heavily loaded. Under
these circumstances, headlight
beam throw has to be adjusted
to suit the weight carried by the
motorcycle.
If there are doubts about
the correct headlight range,
seek the advice of a specialist
workshop, preferably an author-
ised BMW Motorrad dealer.
Adjusting headlight beam
throw
If, for a high load, the adjust-
ment of the spring pre-load is
no longer sufficient not to dazzle
oncoming traffic:
Turn adjuster knob 1 counter-
clockwise in order to lower the
headlight beam again.
When the motorcycle is again
ridden with a lower load:
Have the basic settings of the
headlight restored by a special-
ist workshop, best of all by a
BMW Motorrad dealer.
