HEADLIGHT

Headlight beam throw and
spring preload
Headlight beam throw is
generally kept constant when
spring preload is adjusted to
suit load.
Spring preload adjustment
might not suffice only if the
motorcycle is very heavily
loaded. Under these circum-
stances, headlight beam throw
has to be adjusted to suit
the weight carried by the
motorcycle.
If there are doubts about
the correct headlight
beam throw, have the setting
checked by a specialist work-
shop, preferably an authorised
BMW Motorrad retailer.
Adjusting headlight beam
throw
If, for a high load, the adjust-
ment of the spring pre-load
is no longer sufficient not to
dazzle oncoming traffic:
Switch on the ignition.
( 93)
Start the engine. (
Adjust headlight beam throw
by turning adjusting screw 1
with the tool from the on-
board toolkit.
When the motorcycle is again
ridden with a lower load:
Return the headlight to its ba-
sic setting.
