Headlight

Headlamp range and spring preload

The headlamp range generally remains constant due to the adjustment of the spring preload to the loading state.

Spring preload adjustment may only be insufficient when the motorcycle is very heavily loaded.

In this case, the headlamp range must be adjusted to the weight.

NOTICE If there are doubts as to the correct headlight range, have the adjustment checked by a specialized workshop, preferably by an authorized BMW Motorrad retailer.
