Triumph Street Scrambler - Owner's Manual > Headlights

Warning

Adjust road speed to suit the visibility and weather conditions in which the motorcycle is being operated.

Make sure that the beam is adjusted to illuminate the road surface sufficiently far ahead without dazzling oncoming traffic. An incorrectly adjusted headlight may impair visibility causing an accident.

Warning

Never attempt to adjust a headlamp beam when the motorcycle is in motion.

Any attempt to adjust a headlamp beam when the motorcycle is in motion may result in loss of control and an accident.

Caution

Do not cover the headlight or lens with any item likely to obstruct air flow to, or prevent heat escaping from, the headlight lens.

Covering the headlight lens during operation with items of clothing, luggage, adhesive tape, devices intended to alter or adjust the headlight beam or non genuine headlight lens covers will cause the headlight lens to overheat and distort, causing irreparable damage to the headlight assembly.

Damage caused by overheating is not considered a manufacturing defect and will not be covered under warranty.

If the headlight must be covered during use - such as taping of the headlight lens required during closed‑course conditions - the headlight must be disconnected.
