Beam Setting - Ducati 999R 2005 Anleitung- Und Instandhaltungsheft

Beam setting (fig. 74)
When checking the beam setting, put the motorcycle
upright. Tyres should be inflated at the correct pressure
and one person should be sitting astride the motorcycle,
keeping it at right angles to its longitudinal axis. Place the
motorcycle opposite a wall or a screen, 10 meters apart
from it, then draw a horizontal line dictated by headlamp
center and a vertical one in line with the longitudinal axis
of motorcycle.
If possible, perform this check in dim light.
Switch on the low beam.
The height of the light spot (measured at the upper
limit between dark and lighted-up area) should not
exceed 9/10th of the height from ground of headlamp
center.
Note
This is the procedure specified by Italian standards
to check the maximum height of the light beam.
Owners in other countries will adapt said procedure to
the provisions in force in their countries.
The vertical position of the headlamp is set by means
of the adjusting knobs (1, fig. 75) on the left side of the
headlamp. Rotate the knobs clockwise to lower the
beam or anti-clockwise to raise it.
Note
To gain access to the lower knob, you must first
remove the headlamp fairing as described on page 57.
