Adjusting The Headlight Beam Horizontally; Headlight Screening - APRILIA TUONO 1000 - 2006 Manual

ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHT
BEAM HORIZONTALLY
WARNING
Do not use the vehicle if the lights are not
functioning properly. Do not use the
vehicle if the headlight is adjusted
incorrectly. This could temporarily blind
oncoming cars, and also reduce the rider's
ability to see any obstacle along the road
while riding at night. It is always advisable
to reduce speed when riding at night, so
as to have the time necessary to avoid any
obstacle and to adapt to the poorer
visibility that inevitably results from
darkness. Failure to observe this warning
can cause you to collide with another
object, with consequent risk of serious
injury or even death.
NOTE
The terms "right" and "left" are
referred to the rider seated on the vehicle
in the normal riding position.
