the centre or side stand.
Check tyre pressures and
correct if necessary
Set the spring-strut adjuster
to the position for solo riding
Position the motorcycle on a level surface 10 metres
(headlight) from a light-
coloured wall, and with the
rider's weight (approx. 85 kg)
on the seat.
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 = 25 cm) lower
Switch on the low-beam
headlight
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
L Note:
Have the headlight basic set-
ting checked by a specialist
workshop, preferably an
authorised BMW motorcycle
dealer.
