WARNING

The automatic-on headlamp feature provides increased visibility of the rider to other motorists. Be sure headlamp is on at all times. Poor visibility of rider to other motorists can result in death or serious injury. (00030b)

Prepare

1.	Check tire pressure. Refer to Before Riding → Checking Tire Pressure and Inspecting Tires.
2.	Adjust rear shock preload for rider/passenger and intended load. Refer to Before Riding → Adjusting Shock Absorbers.
3.	Fill fuel tank or add an equal amount of ballast.

Check Alignment

See Figure 1. Park the motorcycle on a line perpendicular to the wall (1) so front tire is pointed straight forward at the wall.

See Figure 2. Set motorcycle to the specified distance from the front of headlamp to wall (1).

Calculate alignment line.

a. FXLRST: See Figure 6. Remove headlamp trim ring for access to headlamp.

b. With intended rider on motorcycle, measure distance from corner of lens or trim ring (2) to floor.

c. Use measured distance and distance shown in table to calculate alignment line. Refer to Table 1.

Table 1. Distance To Add From Floor

Model	Distance To Add
FXBB, FXBR, FXLRS, FXLRST	74.8 mm (2.9 in)
FLHC, FLFB, FLSTFI	90.8 mm (3.6 in)

See Figure 1. Draw an alignment line (3) at the calculated distance, on the wall directly in front of motorcycle.

Turn off any high beam and auxiliary lights to confirm low beam alignment.

Verify low beam alignment.

a. Low beam is aligned when top of low beam pattern (2) cut off line is aligned with alignment line (3).

Adjust headlamp, if necessary.

FXLRST: See Figure 6. Install headlamp trim ring.
