Beam Setting - Ducati MULTISTRADA 1000DS S Mode D'emploi

Beam setting (fig. 70)
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 away
from it. 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 9/10
of the height from ground of headlamp center.
Notes
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.
