This motorcycle's headlight fea-
tures a symmetrical low beam.
No special adjustments or proce-
dures are required prior to oper-
ating the motorcycle in a coun-
try where traffic travels on the
side of the road opposite to that
of your home country (left-hand
z
drive to right-hand drive or vice
versa).
Headlight range and
spring preload
The headlight range generally
remains constant due to the ad-
justment of the spring preload to
the loading state.
Spring preload adjustment may
only be insufficient when the mo-
torcycle is very heavily loaded.
In this case, the headlight range
must be adjusted to the weight.
If there are questions
whether the headlight
range is correct, consult a
specialized workshop, preferably
an authorized BMW Motorrad
retailer.
