Headlight aim (fig. 76)
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 at the height of the centre of the headlamp and a
vertical one at 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 light spot (measured at the upper limit
between dark and lighted-up area) should not exceed 9/10
th
of the height from ground of headlamp centre.
Notes
This procedure is the one specified by Italian
regulations for checking the maximum height of light beams.
Owners in other countries should adapt this procedure to the
regulations in force in the country where the motorcycle is
used.
