Headlight

Adjusting headlight for
driving on left/driving on
38
right
This motorcycle has a
symmetric-beam low-beam
headlight. If the motorcycle
is ridden in a country where
the opposite rule of the road
applies, its symmetric low-
beam headlight means that
z
no measures are necessary to
prevent the headlight beam from
dazzling oncoming traffic.
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:
Slacken screws 1 on left and
right.
Adjust beam throw by tilting
the headlight slightly about its
horizontal axis.
Tighten screws 1 on left and
right.

Seat

Removing seat
Make sure the ground is level

cycle on its stand.

stowage-compartment lock 1
clockwise.
