#42886 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am.. Moderator Posts: 9221 headlight adjustment 4 Years, 8 Months ago   Just wondering what you folks do? My bike is from GA. and I think the previous owner must have used it for coon hunting.. I could spot a coon 300 yds away but can't see the road in front of me.. It obviously needs to come down a bit.. I found the adjustment screws and was wondering if you had a routine to adjust it.. like with a car..25 ft from a wall the light should hit 3 feet off the ground.. you know, that kind of thing..Thx   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #42887 ffricke (User) You have to have TOYS : Thats a RULE ! Junior Boarder Posts: 148 Re:headlight adjustment 4 Years, 8 Months ago   That sounds about right. Don't forget those high beams as well...   Logged     Freddy from CT.

Mark the spot. Park the bike with the front axle on the spot. Have someone sit on the bike and shine the headlight on the wall. Measure from the ground to the center of the headlight. The measurement should be the same when the light shines on the wall. Make the appropriate adjustments to correct the beam. I use a different method though. I adjust it until I can see good but I'm not blinding anyone.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #42919 JetBlast (User) .... Live For Today ....
