Headlight

Adjusting headlight for
driving on left/driving on
right
This motorcycle has a
symmetric-beam low-beam
headlight. If the motorcycle
is ridden in a country where
z
the opposite rule of the road
applies, its symmetric low-
beam headlight means that
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.
NOTICE
If there are doubts about the cor-
rect headlight beam throw, have
the setting checked by a special-
ist workshop, preferably an au-
thorised BMW Motorrad dealer.
