Replacing the headlight lamp *
Remove the screws [1] on the left and right and tilt the headlight mask down
towards the front.
NEVER TOUCH THE GLASS OF THE BULB WITH YOUR FINGERS. THE GLASS OF
THE BULB MUST REMAIN ABSOLUTELY FREE FROM GREASE. HEAT WILL OTHER-
WISE CAUSE THE GREASE TO EVAPORATE AND SETTLE DOWN ON THE
REFLECTOR.
BULB FOR HIGH BEAM [A]:
Remove the rubber cap [2] and pull off the connector [3]. Detach the retain-
ing clip and remove the bulb.
Insert a new bulb, attach the retaining clip, connect the connector and mount
the rubber cap.
BULB FOR LOW BEAM [B]:
Remove the rubber cap [4] and pull off the connector [5]. Detach the retain-
ing clip and remove the bulb.
When you insert the new bulb, make sure the tab fits in the corresponding
recess in the socket.
Attach the retaining clip, connect the connector to the bulb and mount the
rubber cap.
BULB FOR THE PARKING LIGHT:
Since a number of parts need to be removed to replace the parking light bulb,
we recommend that you have the lamp replaced at an authorized KTM
workshop.
Adjusting the headlight range
The payload can make it necessary to correct the headlight range.
The headlight range can be adjusted with the adjusting screw [6]. Turning in
a clockwise direction will increase the headlight range, turning in a counter-
clockwise direction will reduce the headlight range.
CONTROL:
Make a mark on a light colored wall behind a horizontal surface, at the height
corresponding to the center of the headlight. Position your motorcycle 5
meters from the wall in a fully loaded condition (baggage, driver, passenger)
and switch on the low beams. The light/dark boundary should be at the mark.
