Aligning The Headlight - Ducati STREETFIGHTER Owner's Manual

Aligning the headlight

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.
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 by
alternatively covering the right one while adjusting
the left one and vice versa: 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.
