Headlight Adjustment - how?

[toby_smith]

Well I've done a search on this and can't seem to find a definitave answer...

I'm pretty sure my headlights aren't quite aligned how they should be. Can anyone give me some guidance on the best way to check they are as they should be?

Cheers,

Toby

What model sv have you got?

[toby_smith]

Sorry mate, It's a 2001 curvy

[toby_smith]

I know how to adjust them by the way, just not sure how to check they are correctly alligned

[husky03]

it tells you in the haynes manual me thinks

[toby_smith]

Nah the haynes tells you how to adjust them, but not how to set the correct aim/angle. If that makes sense

[husky03]

sorry mate your wrong -it tells you at the mot test checks at the rear of the book

aaaaah, nothing wrong with being wrong as long as you have no problem being corrected!

I only looked under "headlight - aim"

[toby_smith]

Any idea how to do this with the dual headlight of the pointy S ?

I know where the adjusters are but where on the wall do both focus?

Same for the pointy, when mine was badly off (after I got it) I unplugged each bulb in turn and set them up separately, then a final check with both on of course.
Dipped beam is just below the horizontal (up/down). For left/right I used main beam down the street to set this directly in front of the bike (ie not off to either side)
