Headlight

Adjusting headlight for
RHD/LHD traffic
When riding in countries
where traffic drives on the op-
posite side of the road to that
in which the motorcycle was
registered, the asymmetrical
low headlight beam will dazzle
oncoming traffic.
Have the headlight adjust-
ed to the relevant conditions
by a specialized workshop,
preferably an authorized BMW
Motorrad retailer.
Ordinary adhesive tape
damages the plastic
lens.
Only use special plastic adhe-
sive film for body applications
from specialized retailers.
Headlight range and
spring preload
The headlight range gener-
ally remains constant due to
the adjustment of the spring
preload to the loading state.
Spring preload adjustment
may only be insufficient when
the motorcycle is very heav-
ily loaded. In this case, the
headlight range must be ad-
justed to the weight.
If you are unsure
whether the basic
headlight setting is correct,
consult a specialized
workshop, preferably an
authorized BMW Motorrad
retailer.
