tires.

Headlight

Adjusting headlight for
RHD/LHD traffic
If the motorcycle is ridden in a
country where vehicles are driven
in the opposite lane relative to
your own country, its asymmetric
low-beam headlight will tend to
blind oncoming traffic.
Have the headlight adjusted for
these conditions by an authorized
service facility, preferably an au-
thorized BMW Motorrad dealer.
Ordinary adhesive tape
damages the plastic lens.
To prevent damage to the plastic
lens, consult a specialized work-
shop, preferably an authorized
BMW Motorrad retailer.
Headlamp range and
spring preload
The headlamp range generally
remains constant due to the ad-
justment of the spring preload to
the loading state.
However, in the case of very high
payloads, the available spring
preload adjustment might not be
adequate. In this case, the head-
lamp range must be adjusted to
the weight.
If there are questions
whether the headlight
range is correct, consult a
specialized workshop, preferably
