curvy s headlight adjustment?
just wondering if anyone could tell me which way you twiddle the headlight adjuster screws to make the headlight beam go up and down. I need to set them a bit lower, but having had a 20 minute twiddle this morning I couldn't seem to make much difference to the alignment. I'm wondering if i've wound the adjusters out too much and they need to be re-attached.
I was expecting anti-clockwise on screws to lower the beam, clockwise to raise? |

Cockwise - Rasies the Beam
Anti-Clockwise - Lowers the Beam Turning the adjusters to raise the height fully is actually doing up the thread so they will not be detached. Last edited by Dangerous Dave; 27-08-08 at 12:06 PM. |

Cheers for confirming that for me Dave, it sounds like by turning them anti-clockwise to lower the beam I could actually have undone the adjuster screws this morning, hence little or no visible effect on the beam while i was twiddling.

Re: curvy s headlight adjustment?
Yeap, could have done but I am not 100% sure on how the adjusters are actually set up and whether they can be undone as such. See if you can have a good look at the adjuster, you'll need to remove the two side fairings though.

Re: curvy s headlight adjustment?
i've just done exactly that, and the adjusters are an integral part of the headlight unit. the h/light unit itself is "rigidly" fixed on rubber mounts to the sub-frame. so i slackened off the subframe bolts, and it dropped down. guess the subframe must have got pushed up last time the bike was dropped and i never thought to check. just got to readjust the alignment on the lights now after all my tinkering. cheers
