About a year ago i went down. My bike and me are ok...i think? I just upgraded my spot lights and can notice a difference in which way they are pointed. My friends can notice a difference in which way my head light is pointed.

My question is. How do i am all my lights back to the stock position? Can i measure? What do i measure to? What would my base line be?

Can i adjust my head light or is it the fairing?

i hope this is enough info? I dont want to blind the guys in front of me...or blind traffic coming in the other direction.

Thanks,vinnie

 

Yes, the headlights and spots are adjustable. Not sure of the exact procedure, but it is in the service manual. I will look in mine and will post how to adjust the lights if no one else steps in with the information sooner.

When I put hids in there are two screws one at top screw in light goes up screw out light goes down and there is a screw on the left adjust left to right. I adjust them in my garage and had wife help me judge.

The two screws are (adjust) philps the others are stars that hold the lamp in.

 

Ok thanks...but what do i am them at? Or should the beam be so many inches from the ground? Thanks for the help so far, vinnie

 

Here, this may be what your looking for

 

Here is the procedure from service manual:
Main Lamp

1 Verify tire inflation and full fuel tank.

2 Choose area with minimal light

3. Place motorcycle so that front wheel is 25 ft from wall. ( to keep motorcycle perpendicualr to the wall a line can be drawn on the floor)

4. With bike laden and upright, point the wheel straight forward to the wall and measure the distance from the floor to the center of the actual high beam bulb.

5. Draw a vertical line on the wall that is 2.1 inches lower than the bulbs measured centerline.

6 Adjust the headlamp untill the brightest spot of the light beam is centered where the two lines intersect on the wall.

Spot lights:

Same initial set up as main lamp

1. Measure from floor to each spot light centerline.

2. Measure the distance from the headlamp verticle centerline to the verticle centerline of each spot lamp

3. Mark the spot lamps horizontal and verticle centerline on the wall.

4. remove the two screws to release the turn signal from the mounts.

5. Loosen the mounting nuts only enough to allow movement of the spot lamps

6. Turn headlamp on set to low beam and coverheadlamp and right spot lamp

6.Adjust the left side spot as necessary to so that the entire high intesity zone (4) is below and to the right of the left side spot lamp centerline as shown in fig 1-45.

7. Same procedure for right spot

Hope this helps!

Only item not specifically mentioned so far is the special socket you will need to loosen the nut underneath each spotlight (after you remove the turn signal and look up, you'll see it) so that you can adjust the spotlight. I believe it's a 9/16", but you'll either need to cut a slot in a deep socket or buy the special tool. The slot is needed to clear the wires coming down from the spotlight.

If you do a search on this forum, you should be able to find out the specifics of the socket. Snap-On sells a special socket for about $40, but I modified a deep socket for free (and then bought a replacement for my set for maybe $7.)

 

Thanks for the help
