As the weight of the rider will compress the suspension slightly, have a person whose
weight is approximately the same as that of the principal rider sit on the motorcycle.
6. With the vehicle laden and upright, point the front wheel straight forward at wall and
measure the distance (4) from the floor to the center of the HIGH BEAM bulb.

than the measured bulb centerline.
8. Verify headlamp alignment. With the motorcycle on, set the headlamp switch to HIGH beam.
a. The center of the hot spot (brightest area of light beam) should be centered where the
two lines intersect.
b. Adjust headlamp alignment if necessary.
1. Perpendicular line
2. Vertical line
3. 7.6 meters (25 feet)
4. High beam bulb centerline
5. Horizontal line 53.3 mm (2.1 in.) lower than bulb centerline
