Beam setting (fig. 49) When checking for proper beam setting, put the motorcycle upright. Tyres should be inflated at the correct pressure and one person should be sitting astride the motorcycle, keeping it at right angles to its longitudinal axis and opposite a wall or a screen, 10 metres apart from it. Then draw a horizontal line dictated by headlamp centre and a vertical one in line with the longitudinal axis of motorcycle. If possible, perform this check in dim light. Switch on the low beam: the height of the light spot (measured at the upper limit between dark and lighted-up area) should not exceed 9/10th of the height above ground of headlamp centre. Note The procedure described here is in compliance with the "Italian Standard" establishing the maximum height of the light beam. Owners in other countries will adapt said procedure to the provisions in force in their countries. The height of the light beam can be corrected using the headlamp top mounting screw (1, fig. 50). Remove the headlight fairing to expose the screw (see page 33). Slacken screw and set headlamp angle as required. E fig. 49 1 fig. 50 45
