Headlight beam throw and
spring preloadHeadlight beam throw is gener-
ally kept constant when spring
preload is adjusted to suit load.

not suffice only if the motorcycle
is very heavily loaded. Under
these circumstances, headlight
beam throw has to be adjusted
to suit the weight carried by the
motorcycle.Consult a specialist work-
shop, preferably an au-
thorised BMW Motorrad deal-
er, if you are unsure whether
the headlight basic setting is
correct. Screws
1on left and right al-
low the height of the headlight
to be adjusted. This adjustment
should be carried out by a spe-
cialist workshop, preferably an
authorised BMW Motorrad deal-
er.

Refuelling
Fuel is highly flammable. A
naked flame close to the
fuel tank can cause a fire or ex-
plosion.
Do not smoke. Never bring a
naked flame near the fuel tank.
Fuel expands when hot.
Fuel escaping from an
overfilled tank could make its way
onto the rear tyre. This could
cause a fall.
Do not fill the tank past the bot-
tom edge of the filler neck.
Fuel attacks plastics, which
become dull or unsightly.
Wipe off plastic parts immediately
if they come into contact with
fuel.
Leaded fuel will destroy the
catalytic converter.
Use only unleaded fuel. Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its stand.

gine oil level is read correctly,

lengthy trip.Allow the engine to idle until
the fan starts up, then allow it
to idle one minute longer.
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and hold the motor-
cycle upright.
