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
The headlight beam-throw is
adjusted via an engage pivot
lever.
