A. Left Adjuster

B. Right Adjuster

To move the headlight beam rightward, turn the left adjuster counterclockwise and turn the right adjuster clockwise same number as the left adjuster was turned until the beam points straight ahead.
If not properly adjusted horizontally, the beam will point to one side rather than straight ahead.
To move the headlight beam upward, turn the both adjusters counterclockwise same number.
To move the headlight beam downward, turn the both adjusters clockwise same number.
If adjusted too low, neither low nor high beam will illuminate the road far enough ahead. If adjusted too high, the high beam will fail to illuminate the road close ahead, and the low beam will blind oncoming drivers.

NOTE

On high beam, the brightest points should be slightly below horizontal.

The proper angle is 0.4 degrees below horizontal. This is a 50 mm (2.0 in.) drop at 7.6 m (25 ft) measured from the center of the headlight, with the motorcycle on its wheels and the rider seated.
