Safety checkAdjusting beam throw
L Note:
When the basic setting is cor-
rect, headlight beam throw is
regulated when spring preload
is adjusted to suit load.
Have the headlight basic set-
ting adjusted by a specialist
workshop, preferably an
authorised BMW motorcycle
dealer.
L Note:
Adjust beam height so that
oncoming traffic is not dazzled.
Make sure that the throw of the
light cone adequately illumi-
nates the road ahead of you.
Adjusting to suit load Change the spring strut setting
to suit the load ( (
b 41)
– Spring preload has an effect on headlight throw
Only if the load carried on the
motorcycle is very high, the
headlight beam can also be
lowered by moving pivot
lever 1. This shortens the beam
throw.
Pivot lever 1:
A = neutral position
B = high load

Safety check
Lights
• Measure the distance H from
the ground to the centre of
the headlight
• Transfer this height H to the
wall and draw a cross on the
wall at this point
• Draw a second cross (x = 15 cm/5.9 in) lower
• Switch on the low-beam headlight
• Turn adjusting screw 1 to
align the headlight in such a
way that the light-dark cutoff
starts in the middle of the bot-
tom cross and rises to the
right to the height of the upper
cross, before dropping again. • Adjusting screw
1:
– Turn screw counter-clock- wise: higher
– Turn screw clockwise: lower
L Note:
Have the headlight basic setting
checked by a specialist work-
shop, preferably an authorised
BMW motorcycle dealer.
