Check Alignment
| 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 face of the headlamp is specified distance away from the wall. Distance: 5.0 m (16.4 ft) | |
| 6. | Draw a vehicle vertical centerline (2) on the wall. | |
| 7. | Measure the horizontal distance from the vehicle centerline to the centerline of each headlamp. | |
| 8. | Mark the headlamp centerlines (6, 7) on the wall. NOTE The upper lens is low beam on LED headlamps. | |
| 9. | With the motorcycle loaded, point the front wheel straight forward at wall. Measure the distance (4) from the floor to bottom edge of the lamp lens and add specified distance to this value. Distance: 101 mm (3.98 in) | |
| 10. | See Figure 2. Draw a horizontal line at the calculated horizontal centerline (2, 6) of each lamp. | |
| 11. | For each lamp’s wall marking, add a target line (1, 7) below the horizontal centerline at the specified distance. Distance: 25 mm (1 in) NOTE LED headlamps create a beam that is nearly flat on the top. | |
| 12. | Check headlamp alignment. a. Set headlamps to low beam. b. The headlamps are aligned when the light beam hot spots are located just below target lines (1, 7) and centered on lines (3, 5). |
| 1 | Vehicle centerline perpendicular to wall |
| 2 | Vehicle vertical centerline |
| 3 | 16.4 ft (5 m) |
| 4 | Floor to bottom edge of lamp lens |
| 5 | Horizontal line at low beam centerline |
| 6 | Left headlamp centerline |
| 7 | Right headlamp centerline |

Adjust Headlamp Alignment
| 1. | Place the vehicle perpendicular to a target wall as described above. NOTE When headlamp only requires vertical adjustment, headlamp pivot nut may be loosened. | |
| 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. | See Figure 3. If necessary: Loosen vertical adjustment nut (1) on headlamp only. | |
| 5. | Turn headlamps on low beam. | |
| 6. | See Figure 2. Cover the right headlamp. Adjust left headlamp so the top of the left beam area (9) is below and centered under the left target line (1). | |
| 7. | Cover the left headlamp. Adjust right headlamp so the top of the right beam area (8) is below and centered under the right target line (7). | |
| 8. | If loosened: Tighten vertical adjustment nut. Torque: 36.6–43.4 N·m (27–32 ft-lbs) Headlamp vertical adjustment nut: Dual LED | |
| 9. | Tighten headlamp nut. Torque: 43.4–48.8 N·m (32–36 ft-lbs) Headlamp nut: Dual LED | |
| 10. | Secure turn signal lamps with screws. Tighten. Torque: 10.9–17.6 N·m (8–13 ft-lbs) Turn signal lamp screw, front LED |
| 1 | Left target line |
| 2 | Left headlamp horizontal centerline |
| 3 | Left headlamp vertical centerline |
| 4 | Vehicle centerline |
| 5 | Right headlamp vertical centerline |
| 6 | Right headlamp horizontal centerline |
| 7 | Right target line |
| 8 | Right beam area |
| 9 | Left beam area |
