Headlight aim (fig. 54) To check the headlight aim, place the motorcycle upright with the tyres inflated to the correct pressure and one person sitting astride the motorcycle. The motorcycle should be perfectly vertical, with its longitudinal axis at right angles to a wall or screen at a distance of 10 metres. Draw a horizontal line on the wall at the height of the centre of the headlight and a vertical one in line with the longitudinal axis of the motorcycle. If possible, perform this check in conditions of low ambient light. Switch on the low beam headlight. The height of the upper limit between the dark area and the lit area must not be more than nine tenths of the height of the centre of the headlamp from the ground. 9 x 10 10 m x E fig. 54 Notes This is the procedure specified by Italian regulations for checking the maximum height of the light beam. Owners in other countries should adapt this procedure to the regulations in force in the country where the motorcycle is used. The vertical aim of the headlamp is adjusted by turning the screws (1, fig. 55) that attach it to the side mountings. 1 1 fig. 55 57

centre of the headlight and a vertical one in line with the
longitudinal axis of the motorcycle.
If possible, perform this check in conditions of low
ambient light.
Switch on the low beam headlight.
The height of the upper limit between the dark area and
the lit area must not be more than nine tenths of the
height of the centre of the headlamp from the ground.
Notes
This is the procedure specified by Italian regulations
for checking the maximum height of the light beam.
Owners in other countries should adapt this procedure
to the regulations in force in the country where the
motorcycle is used.
The vertical aim of the headlamp is adjusted by turning the
