Brake Light Switches; Headlight Aim - Honda Motorcycle Service Manual

MAINTENANCE
BRAKE LIGHT SWITCHES
Check the brake light switch operation and adjustment by ap-
plying the brakes. Visually inspect for any damage and make
sure the reflector plate is clean within the light.
Adjust the rear brake light switch so that the brake light comes
on just prior to the brake actually being engaged. If the light
fails to come on, adjust the switch so that the light comes on
at the proper time.
NOTE
The brake light switch on the front brake lever cannot be
adjusted. If the front brake light switch actuation and
brake engagement are off, either replace the switch unit
or the malfunctioning parts of the system.
Make all rear brake light switch adjustments after the
height adjustment and the brake pedal free play adjust-
ment have been made.
Turn the adjusting nut on the brake light switch and not the
switch body and wires to make switch actuation adjustments.
Be sure to hold the switch body firmly while turning the ad-
justing nut.
CAUTION
/
.
Allowing the switch body to turn during adjustment can
/
/
break the wires in the switch.
After adjustment, recheck to be sure the brake light comes on
at the proper time.
HEADLIGHT AIM
I
To make a vertical adjustment, loosen the headlight mounting
bolts, matching the punch mark on the case and the bracket by
moving the headlight up or down. Some motorcycles have an
adjusting screw on the bottom of the headlight. In this case,
turn the screw to make the vertical adjustment.
For those having an adjusting screw on the side of headlight
rim, turn this screw to make the horizontal adjustment.
On some models the headlight is completely encased. The ad-
justment can be made either with the light beam adjustment
knob on the back of the light case or with a remote-type cable
and knob. Refer to the Model Specific manual for the proper
adjustment method.
