Lights

Poor lighting can result in reduced visibility when driving. Headlight and taillight lenses become dirty during normal operation. Clean lights frequently and replace burned out lamps promptly. Do not operate this vehicle at night or in low light conditions until the headlight is replaced. Always make sure lights are adjusted properly for best visibility.

When servicing a halogen lamp, don't touch the lamp with bare fingers. Oil from your skin leaves a residue, causing a hot spot that will shorten the life of the lamp.

Headlight, Turn Signal, and Brake Light Replacement

If an LED light fails to work properly, the entire assembly must be replaced. Your authorized dealer can provide service.

Headlight Beam Adjustment

Place the vehicle on a level surface with the headlight approximately 25 ft. (7.6 m) from a wall .
Measure the distance from the floor to the center of the headlight and make a mark on the wall at the same height.
Apply the brakes. Turn the key on. Turn the headlights on.
Observe the headlight aim. The most intense part of the headlight beam should be aimed 8" (20 cm) below the mark placed on the wall . Include the weight of a rider on the seat while performing this step.
If a headlight needs adjustment, access the adjustment screw under the hood or through the wheel well.
Loosen the headlight adjustment screw, adjust the headlight, and tighten the screw.
Repeat steps 4-6 until the lamp is properly adjusted.
