Headlight - BMW R 1200 GS ADVENTURE Rider's Manual

Headlight

Adjusting headlight for
driving on left/driving on
right
If the motorcycle is ridden in
a country where the oppos-
ite rule of the road applies, its
asymmetric low-beam head-
light will tend to dazzle on-
coming traffic.
Have the headlight set
accordingly by a specialist
workshop, preferably an
authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer.
Headlight beam throw
and spring preload
Headlight beam throw is gen-
erally kept constant when
spring preload is adjusted to
suit load.
Spring preload adjustment
might not suffice only if
the motorcycle is very
heavily loaded. Under these
circumstances, headlight
beam throw has to be
adjusted to suit the weight
carried by the motorcycle.
Consult a specialist
workshop, preferably an
authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer, if you are unsure
whether the headlight basic
setting is correct.

Spring preload adjustment
might not suffice if the motor-
cycle is very heavily loaded.
Moving the pivot lever adjusts
headlight beam throw so as
not to dazzle oncoming traffic.
