Headlight Beam Adjustment

1. Place the vehicle on a level surface with the headlight approxi-
mately 25 ft. (7.6 m) from a wall.
2. Measure the distance from the floor to the center of the headlight
and make a mark on the wall at the same height.
3. Apply the brakes. Start the engine. Turn on the headlights.
4. Observe the headlight aim. The most intense part of the headlight
beam should be aimed 8" (20 cm) below the mark placed on the
wall. Include the weight of a rider on the seat while performing this
step.
5. If a headlight needs adjustment, locate the adjustment screw at the
back of the headlight.
6. Loosen the screw, adjust the headlight, and tighten the screw.
7. Repeat steps 4-6 until the lamp is properly adjusted.
Brake Lights

Check the brake light before each ride.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
2. Depress the brake pedal. The brake light should come on after about
10mm (0.4 in.) of pedal travel. If the light doesn't come on, check
the bulb.
