Warning
Adjust road speed to suit the visibility and
weather conditions in which the motorcycle
is being operated.
Ensure that the beam is adjusted to
illuminate the road surface sufficiently far
ahead, but without blinding oncoming
traffic. An incorrectly adjusted headlight
may impair visibility causing loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
Never attempt to adjust the headlight
beam when the motorcycle is in motion.
Any attempt to adjust the headlight beam
when the motorcycle is in motion may
result in loss of control and an accident.
