Headlight Beam Adjustment

The headlight must be properly adjusted for safe night driving. This motorcycle has provisions to adjust the headlight in the vertical and also horizontal directions.

  1. The vertical adjustment is made by loosening the bolts (1) which mount the headlight assembly. The headlight is normally adjusted in the vertical direction.
  2. The horizontal beam adjustment is made with the adjusting screw (2) located on the left side of the headlight when facing the motorcycle. Turning the screw in will focus the beam toward the left side of the rider and turning the screw out will focus the beam toward the right side. Adjust the beam to coincide with the center line of the motorcycle.

 

Stoplight Switch Adjustment

The stoplight switch adjustment is made at the stoplight switch (1) located on the right side toward the rear of the engine.

  1. First check the adjustment of the rear brake pedal to make sure that the brake is properly adjusted.
  2. Turn on the main switch (red dot position).
  3. Adjust the stoplight switch so that the stoplight will come on when the brake pedal is depressed to the point where the brake just starts to take hold. If the stoplight switch is late in switching on the stop light, screw in (A) the switch adjusting nut (2) and if the stoplight comes on too early, screw out (B) the switch adjusting nut
