Headlight Beam Adjustment

1. Place the vehicle on a level surface with the headlight approximately 25 ft. (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 at the same height.
3. Apply the brakes. Start the engine. Turn on the headlights.
4. Observe the headlight aim. The most intense part of the headlight beam should be aimed
8" (20 cm) below the mark placed on the wall. Include the weight of a rider on the seat
while performing this step.
5. If a headlight needs adjustment, locate the adjustment screw at the back of the headlight.
6. Loosen the screw, adjust the headlight, and tighten the screw.
7. Repeat steps 4-6 until the lamp is properly adjusted.
Brake Lights

pedal travel. If the light doesn't come on, check the bulb.
