b Maintenance Instructions,
Chapter 2)
Adjusting headlight for
RHD/LHD traffic
If the motorcycle is ridden in a
country where the opposite rule
of the road applies, its asym-
metric low headlight beam will
tend to dazzle oncoming traffic.
Consult a specialist workshop,
preferably an authorised BMW
motorcycle dealer, to have the
headlight adjusted to suit
whichever rule of the road
applies.
e Attention:
Adhesive films with unsuitable
adhesives can damage the
headlight lens.

Adjusting headlight beam
throw
L Note:
Headlight beam throw is kept
constant when spring preload is
adjusted to suit load.
For instructions on adjusting
spring-strut and shock-
absorber settings to suit load,
(
b 38, 39).
Consult a specialist workshop,
preferably an authorised BMW
motorcycle dealer, if you are
unsure whether the headlight
basic setting is correct.
Setting with motorcycle
heavily loaded:
d Warning:
Adjust the headlight such that
the beam does not dazzle on-
coming traffic, but the throw
of the light cone adequately
illuminates the road ahead of
you.
Only if the load carried on the
motorcycle is very high, the
headlight beam can be further
lowered by turning knurled
screw 1.
