Lights adjustment.The easy way!!!

[rusheriv]

Anyone ever scratch their head and say geez I wonder what that's for? ??? or Why did the those Japanese engineers do that?

Look at the photos below, there are screwdriver guides molded into the assembly below each adjuster and what's with those crazy looking toothed washer, wonder what that's for? Damn thing has more teeth than that guy who bent the throttle cable bracket.

The headlight assembly is designed to be adjusted from below and with just a simple #2 phillips screwdriver. Pop the fasteners, remove the cover and va la! Easy access.
Shown is a Gen I headlight but the Gen II (high beam) is the same.

Just put HID's in my bike and love them. Is there a way to adjust only the high beam down? Its lighting up the trees more than the road. the low beam is fine. When i brake gently I can see much further. Helpful post by the way, that phillips screwdriver thing is ingenious.

Hey thanks. I never thought about your way. Much easier then what I did. I need to adjust them again and this thread will help.
Thanks

Make sure you are not confusing glare with misalignment...

this retro fit thing seems to be pretty awesome

there was a thread here that had a before an after on a bike, the difference from the in light projecting from both HID installs was impressive... Every HID I have seen myself seems to shine way to much light into the wrong places... wrong place would in the mirror an eyes of a cager with a lack of respect for the life of a biker

Hope all goes well with the adjustment

Top tip. Thanks.

No, the top one is for horizontal and the bottom one is for verticle. it is a one piece housing for both lights.

Gen I has separate adjusters(2x2) for high and low beam...and Gen II only 2 for both high and low beam .One for horizontal and one for vertical adj for both beams at the same time

There is another Screw on top of the Vertical Adjuster ( Gen 2), what is that for ??????

 

[dlf_954]

just checked , the one above the vertical is for horizontal as well.... so 1 vertical & 2 horizontal, if i am not mistaken..

Top Thread, should it be a sticky?

Best regards Stretch

There is indeed an adjustment for left/right....

If you simply remove the four plastic push-pins that retain the lower chin cowling in place, pull out the chin piece, voilà, there are the adjusters sitting right there for easy access.

The LOWER LEFT one is the vertical adjustment. Crank this 10mm nut CLOCKWISE to raise the beam.

The UPPER RIGHT one is the horizontal adjustment.

Warchild is right I adjusted my headlight when I fit my dog bones, to raise the beam its clockwise.
I did it the long way round by removing the lower cover

Best regards Stretch

[skydivr]

[Busa-jj]

[06kennybusa]

You guys are awesome ! I just installed a new Silver Star and was amazed at how well it lit up the road under 1st gear throttle. I didn't notice any adjuster mechanism when I was installing the new bulb. Once I raise the low beam and lower the high beam just a tad everyting will be perfect. Thanks for the tutorial !
