HEADLIGHT

Headlight adjustment for
right-hand or left-hand traffic
This motorcycle has a symmet-
ric-beam low-beam headlight.
If the motorcycle is ridden in
a country where the oppos-
ite rule of the road applies, its
symmetric low-beam headlight
means that no measures are
necessary to prevent the head-
light beam from dazzling on-
coming traffic.
Headlight beam throw and
spring preload
Headlight beam throw is
generally kept constant when
spring preload is adjusted to
suit load. Headlight beam
throw is set correctly ex-works.
If there are doubts about
the correct headlight
beam throw, have the setting
checked by a specialist work-
shop, preferably an authorised
BMW Motorrad dealer.
