Beam Setting - Ducati MONSTER 821 2016 Owner's Manual

Beam setting

Note
The headlight features a double adjustment,
one for the right-hand and one for the left-hand light
beam.
To check the headlight aim, place the motorcycle
upright with the tires inflated to the correct pressure
and one person sitting astride the motorcycle. The
motorcycle should be perfectly vertical, with its
longitudinal axis at right angles to a wall or screen at
a distance of 32.8 feet (10 meters). Draw a horizontal
line corresponding to the center of the headlamp and
a vertical one in line with the longitudinal axis of
motorcycle. If possible, perform this check in dim
light. Switch on the low beam and adjust the aiming
of the left and right-hand beams. The height of the
upper limit between the dark area and the lit area
must not be more than nine tenths of the height from
ground of headlight center.

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.
