caused the blown fuse, then replace the fuse. Spare fuses are provided in a
compartment on the top of the access door.

1. Open the front box cover.

2. Remove the access panel. See page 105.

new fuse with the same amperage.

LIGHTS

CAUTION

Poor lighting can result in reduced visibility when driving. Headlight and taillight

lenses become dirty during normal operation. Clean headlights frequently and

replace burned out headlamps promptly.

Always make sure lights are adjusted properly for best visibility.

LOW BEAM ADJUSTMENT

The low beam can be adjusted slightly upward or downward.

1. Loosen the Phillips screw located at the rear of the headlamp.

2. Tilt the headlamp upward or downward.

3. Tighten the screw.

HEADLIGHT LAMP REPLACEMENT

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. If fingers do touch a lamp, clean it with denatured alcohol.

CAUTION

Hot components can cause burns to skin. Allow lamps to cool before servicing.

1. 570 / 570 EPS / X2:

Remove the two screws on the lower front corners of the headlight pod.
Remove the screw from the rear of the pod. Lift the pod slightly while
depressing the tabs at the rear of the pod. Lift the pod cover and disconnect
the speedometer harnesses from the speedometer.

2. Unplug the headlamp from the wiring harness. Be sure to pull on the

connector, not on the wiring.

3. Turn the lamp counter-clockwise to remove it.

4. Apply dielectric grease to the socket and install the new lamp. Make sure the

tab on the lamp locates properly in the housing.

mark on the wall at the same height.

beam should be 5 cm (2 in.) below the mark on the wall. Include rider weight
on the seat when measuring.
