Adjusting headlight for
RHD/LHD traffic

This motorcycle's headlight fea-
tures a symmetrical low beam.
No special adjustments or prece-
dures are required prior to oper-
ating the motorcycle in a country
where traffic uses the opposite
side of the road (left-hand drive
to right-hand drive or vice versa).
z
Headlight range and
spring preload
The headlight range generally
remains constant due to the ad-
justment of the spring preload to
the loading state.
Spring preload adjustment may
only be insufficient when the mo-
torcycle is very heavily loaded.
In this case, the headlight range
must be adjusted to the weight.
If there are questions
whether the headlight
range is correct, consult a
specialized workshop, preferably
an authorized BMW Motorrad
retailer.
