Aligning The Headlight - Ducati Scrambler 1100 Owner's Manual

Aligning the headlight

Note
Headlight features two adjusters, one for the RH
beam and one for the LH beam.
Check correct headlight aiming. Position the
motorcycle 10 metres from a wall or a screen, the
motorcycle must be perfectly upright with the tires
inflated to the correct pressure and with a rider
seated, perfectly perpendicular to the longitudinal
axis. On the wall or surface, draw a horizontal line at
the same height from the ground as the centre of the
headlight and a vertical line aligned with the
longitudinal axis of the motorcycle. If possible,
perform this check in dim light. Switch on the low
beam and adjust right and left beams. The height of
the upper limit between the dark area and the lit area
must not be more than 9/10 of the height from the
ground of the headlight centre.
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.
