Headlamp Alignment - EBR 1190RS 2013 Owner's Manual

HEADLAMP ALIGNMENT

The automatic-on headlamp feature provides in-
creased visibility of the rider to other motorists. Be
sure headlamp is on at all times. Poor visibility to
other motorists can result in death or serious injury.
NOTE
This vehicle has beam headlamps that are individually
aimed and should be adjusted so both lamps converge
into one pattern.
1. Verify that front and rear tire inflation pressures are
correct and that suspension is adjusted to the weight
of the principal rider. See SPECIFICATIONS.
2. Fill fuel tank or add ballast to equal the weight of
fuel needed.
NOTE
See Figure 60. To aid in properly placing the motorcy-
cle, a perpendicular line can be drawn on the floor. For
best results, choose an area with minimum light.

3. See Figure 60. Draw a vertical line on the wall.
4. Position motorcycle so that the front axle is 25
feet (7.6 meters) from the wall.
NOTE
As the weight of the rider will compress the suspen-
sion slightly, have a person whose weight is approxi-
mately the same as that of the principal rider sit on the
motorcycle.
5. With the motorcycle laden and upright, point the
front wheel straight forward at the wall and meas-
ure the distance from the floor to the center of the
LOW BEAM bulb.
6. Draw a horizontal line through the vertical line on
the wall that is 2.1 in. (53.3mm) lower than the
measured bulb centerline.
