Beam Setting - Ducati Monster 696 ABS Owner's Manual

Beam setting

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. The height of the
upper limit between the dark area and the lit area
must not be more than nine tenths of the height of
the center of the headlight from the ground.
Note
The procedure described here is in compliance
with the Italian Standard establishing the maximum
height of the light beam. Owners in other countries
will adapt said procedure to the provisions in force in
their countries.
