Renewal of the headlight
Undo the screws (2) and remove the instrument panel shroud (1).
Disconnect the instrument panel connector (A) from the main wiring harness (see plates in the chapter “Routing of wiring on frame”, Sect. P 1).
Disconnect theheadlight wiring connector (B) and the front turn indicator conectors from the main wiring harness connector (see plates in the chapter “Routing of wiring on frame”, Sect. P 1).
Unscrew the nuts (2) securing the front light assembly to the bottom yoke.
Remove the front light assembly, withdrawing the pins (C) from the support bracket.
Release the headlight from the front light assembly by unscrewing the screws (3).
Remove the front turn indicators (4) by removing the circlip (5) and unscrewing the screw (6).
Notes
On the USA version a spacer is installed between the turn indicator and the front light asssembly support.
Refitting is the reverse of removal:

- | check that the rubber mountings (7) are installed on the headlight;

- | apply the recommended grease to the washers (8);

- | reconnect the wiring connectors of the headlight (B) and the front turn indicators;

- | tighten the screws (3), (6) and nuts (2) to the specified torque (Sect. C 3, Frame torque settings).

Changing bulbs
Changing the headlight bulbs
Before replacing a burnt out light bulb, ensure that the replacement bulb has the same voltage and power rating as specified for the lighting device in question (Sect. C 1.1, Lights/instrument panel).
Warning
The halogen light bulbs in the headlight become hot when switched on and remain hot for some time after they are switched off. Allow bulbs to cool before replacing them.
The position of the light bulbs in the headlight is as indicated below: low beam (LO), high beam (HI) and side light (A).
Remove the headlight as described in the paragraph “Renewal of the headlight” in this section.
To access the headlight bulb unscrew the four screws (1) and remove the cover (2).
High beam (HI)
Disconnect the wiring connector (3) from the headlight bulb (4).
Release the retaining clip (5).
The bulb (4) is of the bayonet-type: press and twist anti-clockwise to remove.
Fit the new bulb (4), insert the tabs on the bulb base into the corresponding slots to ensure the bulb is correctly positioned, push the bulb in and turn clockwise until it clicks into place.
Refit the connector (3) to the bulb (4), and the cover (2) to the headlight, tightening the screws (1) to the specified torque (Sect. C 3, Frame torque settings).
Low beam (LO)
To change the Lo beam headlight bulb (6) see the procedure described above for the Hi beam headlight bulb.
Replace the bulb with a new bulb of the same type (Sect. C 1.1, Lights/instrument panel).
Notes
Do not touch the transparent part of the bulb with your fingers, this will darken it and cause a loss of brightness.
Side lights (A)
To replace the side light bulb, withdraw the bulb holder (7) from the rear of the headlight. Extract the bulb and renew it.
Changing the number plate light bulb
To access the bulb in the number plate light (8), open the number plate lens, pull the bulb out of the holder and renew it.
Changing the direction indicator light bulbs
Loosen the screw (1) and detach the lens (2) from the direction indicator support.
The bulb has a bayonet-type end fitting: to remove it, push it in and turn it counter-clockwise. Push in the new bulb and turn it clockwise until it clicks into place. Refit the lens by inserting the tab in the corresponding slot in the direction indicator. Refit and tighten the screw (1).
High beam headlights relay
Located alongside the battery and fixed to the battery support. To gain access to the relay, first remove the fuel tank (Sect. L 2, Removal of the fuel tank).
The high beam relay (1) has been added to the electrical circuit to enable the lights power down strategy. This strategy is as follows:

1 | if the lights are on during normal riding, they switch off 60 seconds after pressing the engine Stop button (2) and key ON; they switch back on the moment the motorcycle is started again;

2 | if the lights are switched on, they will switch off automatically after 60 seconds after key ON if the engine remains stopped.

If this strategy is not performed, check the correct operation of the various parts involved.
Checking operation of the high beam lights relay
Disconnect the relay (1) from the electrical system and apply 12 V (battery voltage) between contacts (86) and (85) (small contacts): you should hear a click that confirms that the internal electromagnet has switched.
Connect a multimeter to contacts (30) and (87) (big contacts) to check for the full scale reading (analogue tester) or buzzer (digital tester). If this does not occur, the part must be renewed.
Headlight aim
The motorcycle must be perfectly upright with the tires inflated to the correct pressure and with a rider seated, perfectly perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.
Position the motorcycle 10 metres from a wall or a screen.
On the wall or surface, draw a horizontal line at the same height from the ground as the centre of the headlight and a vertical line aligned with the longitudinal axis of the motorcycle.
Notes
If possible, perform this check in conditions of low ambient light.
Switch on the low beam. The height of the upper limit between the dark area and the lit area must not be more than nine tenths of the height of the centre of the headlight from the ground.
Notes
This is the procedure specified by Italian regulations for checking the maximum height of the light beam.
The vertical alignment of the headlamp can be adjusted manually by turning the screw (1).
The horizontal alignment of the headlight can be adjusted manually by turning the screw (2).
