Headlight
Adjusting headlight for
driving on right/driving on
left
If the motorcycle is ridden in a
country where the opposite rule
of the road applies, its asymmet-
ric low-beam headlight will tend
to dazzle oncoming traffic.
Have the headlight set accord-
ingly by a specialist workshop,
preferably an authorised BMW
Motorrad dealer.
Headlight beam throw and
spring preload
Headlight 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 dealer,
if you are unsure whether the
headlight beam-throw setting is
correct.
Adjusting headlight beam
throw
Slacken screws 1 on left and

Adjust beam throw by tilting
the headlight slightly about its
horizontal axis.
Tighten screws 1 on left and
right.
Seat
Remove the seat
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its stand.
Use the ignition key to turn
stowage-compartment lock 1
clockwise.
