Aim Adjustment
The headlight is of utmost importance for your safety.
If badly adjusted, it reduces the visibility and blinds
the vehicles coming from the opposite direction.
Although the headlight illuminates intensively with a
deep downward inclination, it reduces the visibility field
bringing it too close to the motorcycle. With a null
inclination, the vicinity of the motorcycle will not be
illuminated and, even in the distance, headlight
effectiveness will be poor.
When riding at night, you will soon notice if headlight
adjustment is necessary. Make sure you check the
adjustment before leaving.
