Aligning The Headlight - Ducati MONSTER 821 Workshop Manual

Aligning the headlight

Position the vehicle with tyres inflated at the indicated pressure
person seating on the seat, perfectly perpendicular to his/her longitudinal axis.
Position the vehicle 10 metres from a wall or a screen.
On the wall or surface, draw a horizontal line at the same height from the ground as the centre of the
headlight and a vertical line aligned with the longitudinal axis of the motorcycle.
Note
If possible, perform this check in dim light.
Switch on the low beam. The height of the upper limit between the dark area and the lit area must not be
more than 9/10 of the height from the ground of the headlight centre.
Note
This is the procedure specified by Italian regulations for checking the maximum height of the light beam.
Please adapt said procedure to the provisions in force in your own country.
The vertical alignment of the headlight can be manually set by means of screw (1).
Turn clockwise to raise the beam, counter clockwise to lower it.
