Adjusting The Headlight Beam Horizontally - APRILIA RSV mile Use & Maintenance Book

ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHT
BEAM HORIZONTALLY
Do not use the vehicle if the lights are
not functioning properly.
Do not use the vehicle if the headlight is
adjusted incorrectly. This could tempo-
rarily blind oncoming cars, and also re-
duce the rider's ability to see any obsta-
cle along the road while riding at night.
It is always advisable to reduce speed
when riding during the night, in such a
way as to have the time necessary to
avoid any obstacle and to adapt to the
poorer visibility that inevitably results
from darkness. Failure to observe this
warning can cause you to collide with
another object, with consequent risk of
serious injury or even death.

The terms "right" and "left" are re-
