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.
See Figure 1. Park the motorcycle on a line (1) perpendicular to the wall.
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 centerline (2) on the wall.
7.
NOTE
The upper lens is low beam on LED headlamps.
With the motorcycle loaded, point the front wheel straight forward at wall. Measure the distance (4) from the floor to the center of the low beam (upper) lens.
8. See Figure 1. Draw a horizontal line (5) through the vertical line at measured height.
9.
NOTE
See Figure 1. The headlamp is aligned when the top of light beam hot spot is located as shown with headlamp set to low beam.
See Figure 1. Verify headlamp alignment.
