1. | Check tire pressure. | |
2. | Adjust rear shocks for the rider and intended load. | |
3. | Fill fuel tank or add an equal amount of ballast. | |
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 vehicle vertical centerline (2) on the wall. | |
7. | NOTE The upper lens is low beam on LED headlamps. | |
8. | Draw targets on the wall. a. Draw a horizontal line (5) at the low beam centerline height. b. Measure the distance from the vehicle centerline to the vertical centerline of each headlamp. c. Draw vertical lines (6, 7) at the headlamp centerlines. | |
9. | NOTE LED headlamps create a beam that is nearly flat on the top. a. Set headlamps to low beam. b. See Figure 2. The headlamps are aligned when the light beam hot spots are located at or below line (4) and centered on lines (2, 3). |
1 | Vehicle centerline perpendicular to wall |
2 | Vehicle vertical centerline |
3 | 25 ft (7.6 m) |
4 | Low beam lens centerline |
5 | Horizontal line at low beam centerline |
6 | Left headlamp centerline |
7 | Right headlamp centerline |
1. | Place the vehicle perpendicular to a target wall as described above. | |
2. | Remove screw and lockwasher securing turn signal lamps. Remove turn signal lamps from headlamp mounting brackets. | |
3. | Loosen headlamp nuts only enough to allow movement of the lamp. | |
4. | Turn headlamps on low beam. | |
5. | See Figure 2. Cover the right headlamp. Adjust left headlamp so the top of the high intensity zone (6) is at or below horizontal line (4) and centered under the left centerline (2). | |
6. | Cover the left headlamp. Adjust right headlamp so the top of the high intensity zone (5) is at or below horizontal line (4) and centered under the right centerline (3). | |
7. | Tighten headlamp nut to: Torque: 27.1–32.5 N·m (20–24 ft-lbs) Headlamp nut: Dual LED | |
8. | Secure turn signal lamps with screw and lockwasher. Tighten to: Torque: 10.9–17.6 N·m (8–13 ft-lbs) Turn signal lamp screw, front LED |
