Headlight beam throw and
spring preload
Headlight beam throw is gener-

ally kept constant when spring
preload is adjusted to suit load.

not suffice only if the motorcycle
is very heavily loaded. Under
these circumstances, headlight
beam throw has to be adjusted
to suit the weight carried by the
motorcycle.
Consult a specialist work-
shop, preferably an au-
thorised BMW Motorrad deal-
er, if you are unsure whether
the headlight basic setting is
correct.
