LED Light Assembly Replacement

LED lights are not serviceable. If one of the LED lamps fails to illuminate, see an authorized dealer for replacement of the assembly.

Headlamp Aim Inspection Conditions

The following headlamp aim inspections and adjustments will be accurate only when tire pressures and suspensions are at factory-recommended settings. Refer to safety labels on the vehicle or to the Specifications chapter. The vehicle must also be unladen (without fuel, rider weight or cargo weight).

Center Headlamp Aim Adjustment

  1. Verify that headlamp aim inspection conditions are met.
  2. Position the vehicle on a level surface with the nose approximately 9 ft (2.7 m) from a wall.
  3. Press the Engine Start button twice to enter Accessory Mode, then pull the turn signal lever rearward (as if to activate the high beams).
    IMPORTANT
    If the engine was last powered-off with the high beams still on, then pulling the turn signal lever in Accessory Mode will reactivate the high beams. Verify that the LOW BEAM lights (not high beams) are activated to perform headlamp aim adjustment.
  4. Observe the headlamp beam display on the wall. The beam displays at two levels – higher on the right side and lower on the left side. When the beam is properly adjusted, this measurement from the ground to the lower level beam cutoff should be 22.5 in (57 cm)
  5. To adjust a headlight beam, open the hood and turn the two upper headlamp adjustment screws simultaneously and equally. Turning the adjustment screws in tandem keeps the beam pointed straight, so as not to skew left or right.
    • Clockwise adjustment raises the beam
    • Counter-clockwise adjustment lowers the beam

Headlamp Bulb Replacement (CANADA)

When servicing a halogen lamp (bulb), avoid touching the lamp with bare fingers. Oil from your skin leaves a residue, causing a hot spot that will shorten the life of the lamp. If fingers do touch a lamp, clean it with denatured alcohol.
  1. Pull the sealing boot away from the back of the bulbs and housing.
  2. Press the looped end of the wire bulb retainer clip and swing the end toward the center of the bulb to release it from the latch tab.
  3. With the wire connector attached, pull the bulb out.
  4. Disconnect the wire harness. Install the new bulb and secure the retainer.
  5. Reinstall the sealing boot. Make sure it seals tightly around the bulb base and lens to seal off from moisture.

  4. Observe the headlight beam display on the wall. The beam displays at two levels, higher at the right side and lower at the left side.
  5. Measure from the floor to the lower beam display at the left side. When the beam is properly adjusted, this measurement should be 21.5 in (54.6 cm).
  6. To adjust a headlight beam, open the hood and turn the two upper headlamp screws simultaneously and equally. Turning the adjustment screws in tandem keeps the beam pointed straight, so as not to skew left or right.
