Headlight Aim - Ducati SUPERBIKE 848 Owner's Manual

Headlight aim

E
To check the headlight aim, place the motorcycle upright
with the tyres inflated to the correct pressure and one person
sitting astride the motorcycle. The motorcycle should be
perfectly vertical, with its longitudinal axis at right angles to a
wall or screen at a distance of 10 metres. Draw a horizontal
line on the wall at the height of the centre of the headlight
and a vertical one in line with the longitudinal axis of the
motorcycle.
If possible, perform this check in conditions of low ambient
light.
Switch on the low beam headlight:
the height of the upper limit between the dark area and the
lit area must not be more than nine tenths of the height of
the centre of the headlamp from the ground.
Notes
This is the procedure specified by Italian regulations
for checking the maximum height of the light beam.
Owners in other countries should adapt this procedure
to the regulations in force in the country where the
motorcycle is used.
