Aligning The Headlight - Ducati DESERTX 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 (32.8 feet) from a wall or a
screen, with the tyres 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.
When adjusting 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.
