[QUOTE="torch, post: 1456307, member: 1295"] In Ontario. I believe this mirrors the CMVSS and FMVSS, and in fact the odd metric dimensions are due to conversion from the US standard. I added the conversions back to feet and inches in square brackets after the metric values: "[B]2. [/B](1) Subject to section 3, the headlamps on a motor vehicle shall be capable of projecting at least two beams, so controlled that only one beam can be selected for use by the driver of the motor vehicle at any one time according to the requirements of traffic. R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 596, s. 2 (1). (2) One beam shall be a lower or passing beam so aimed that none of the high intensity portion of the beam that is directed, (a) to the left of the vehicle, is higher than 127 millimetres [5"] below; or (b) to the right of the vehicle, is higher than, the horizontal line through the centre of the headlamp from which it comes, at a distance of 7.6 metres [25'] ahead of the headlamp, when the vehicle is not loaded, and the high intensity portion of the lower or passing beam shall not rise higher than 1.07 metres [3.5'] above the level on which the vehicle stands at a distance of 22.9 metres [75'] ahead of the vehicle. R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 596, s. 2 (2)." So there you go: With rider and gear aboard at 25' set the left low-beam no higher than 5" below centre and the right no higher than equal to centre. Yamaha's design should take care of the high beam aim if the low beam is correct. [/QUOTE]
