Headlight Adjustment (Gen II)
The high beam headlight can be adjusted to any position
desired by turning the four screws at the outer corners of
the lamp housing. Use the following procedure:
1.
Place the vehicle on a level surface with the headlight
approximately 25' (7.6 m) from a wall.
2. Measure the distance from the floor to the center of the
headlight and make a mark on the wall.
3.
Shift transmission to neutral, start engine and turn
headlight switch to high beam.
4.
Observe headlight aim. The most intense part of the
headlight beam should be aimed 2" (5.1 cm) below the
mark placed on the wall in step
2. NOTE:
Riderweight
must be included on the seat. For machines with
separate low beam lights, the drop should be 8" (20.3
cm) in 25'.
5. Adjust screws at outer corners of lamp housing to
achieve proper aim.
