HeadlightAdjusting headlight for
driving on right/driving on
leftThe motorcycle's headlight beam
is symmetric, so there is no need
for modification if you intend rid-
ing in a country where the op-
posite rule of the road applies.
Headlight beam throw and
spring preloadHeadlight beam throw is gener-
ally kept constant when spring
preload is adjusted to suit load.
Spring preload adjustment might
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. Headlight beam throw can be ad-
justed by means of screws
2on
the left and right behind the side
panels, and screw 3. This adjust-
ment should be carried out by a
specialist workshop, preferably an
authorised BMW Motorrad deal-
er.
