== Aiming the Headlight ==

Getting a correctly aimed headlight is straightforward. You need to make a couple of measurements and then aim the light at a flat wall, as follows:

* With the bike on its wheels and you astride, have a helper measure the distance from the floor to the center of the headlight lens.
* Pick a flat wall where you can locate the bike so the headlight is 17 feet from the wall.
* Place a horizontal mark on the wall two (2) inches lower than the height of the center of the headlight.
* The headlight beam (on low beam) should be relatively flat on the top, and may rise rather sharply at the right edge.
* Adjust the headlight vertically so that the flat top of the beam is just up to that line (marked two inches down at 17 feet).
* Horizontal adjustment should center the beam ahead of the line of the bike.

NOTE: The adjustment information is located in the service manual on page 3-32.
