Adjusting the headlight beams
The headlight beam can be adjusted to
raise or lower the height of the head-
light beams. It may be necessary to ad-
just the headlight beams to increase
visibility and help prevent blinding on-
coming drivers when carrying more or
4
less load than usual. Obey local laws
and regulations concerning headlight
adjustment.
If headlights require adjustment, con-
sult a Yamaha dealer.
