Headlights
Warning
Adjust road speed to suit the visibility
and weather conditions in which the
motorcycle is being operated.
Ensure that the beams are adjusted
to illuminate the road surface
sufficiently far ahead without dazzling
oncoming traffic. An incorrectly
adjusted headlight may impair
visibility causing an accident.
Warning
Never attempt to adjust a headlight
beam when the motorcycle is in
motion.
Any attempt to adjust a headlight
beam when the motorcycle is in
motion may result in loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Caution
Do not cover the headlight or lens
with any item likely to obstruct air
flow to, or prevent heat escaping from,
the headlight lens.
Covering the headlight lens during
operation with items of clothing,
luggage, adhesive tape, devices
intended to alter or adjust the
headlight beam or non genuine
headlight lens covers will cause the
headlight lens to overheat and distort,
causing irreparable damage to the
headlight assembly.
Damage caused by overheating is not
considered a manufacturing defect
and will not be covered under
warranty.
If the headlight must be covered during
use – such as taping of the headlight
lens required during closed-course
conditions – the headlight must be
disconnected.
