1. | Check tire pressure. | |
2. | Fill fuel tank or add an equal amount of ballast. | |
3. | Adjust rear shocks for the rider and intended load. | |
4. | NOTE Choose a wall in minimum light. | |
5. | Position motorcycle so the front axle is measured distance from the wall. Length/Dimension/Distance: 7.6 m (25 ft) | |
6. | Draw a vertical line (2) on the wall. | |
7. | NOTE Because a riders weight compresses the suspension, seat a person approximately the same weight as the rider. a. Point the front wheel straight forward. b. Halogen headlamp: Measure the distance (4) from the floor to the center of the headlamp. c. LED headlamp: Measure the distance (4) from the floor to the center of the low beam (upper) lens. | |
8. | Halogen alignment (6): a. Draw a horizontal line (5) through the vertical line on the wall lower than the measured centerline. Length/Dimension/Distance: 53.3 mm (2 in) b. The headlamp is aligned when the center of the high beam hot spot is located over the intersection of the lines. c. Adjust as necessary. | |
9. | NOTE The upper lens is low beam on LED headlamps. a. Draw a horizontal line (5) through the vertical line on the wall at the measured low beam lens centerline. b. The headlamp is aligned when the top of light beam hot spot is located as shown with headlamp set to low
beam. c. Adjust as necessary. |
