Hi all, just want to know if others with a gen 11 model have problems with the head light at night. I went to the drags on Saturday night and coming home around 11.00pm, so many drivers were flashing me and people in front kept hitting the brake, I didn't have my high beam. I'm worried that a driver will get aggressive at me so wanting to know can they be adjusted and if any one else has had the same problem?

Maybe check the Focus . It should point Slightly Down & Left ,Not straight in oncoming traffic's eye's .

Could it have been from the lowering kit??

Kylie there are two adjustment knobs.

As Blackzook said there are two adjusting 10mm hex screws with big washers at the back of the headlight assembly. One is for up-down adjustment and the other for left-right. It is a bit of the pain to get to them (need to remove the covers) and having small hands helps Pi_thumbsup

.
The problem could have been caused by ride height adjustment or even getting your suspension set properly.
Hope it helps Biker

Never had a problem on low beam. Park at wall and have a look at light you will be able to tell if focus is high. Can not see it to be a problem to car drivers. If you need to compare with another Hayabusa I am happy to compare. Just give me a PM and we can arrange a head light comparison adjustment night. Western suburbs dweller. Maybe arrange a home coffee meet for Perth dwellers.

If you take the plastic off from around the dash, then take the dash out I think would be the easiest way so you can see what your doing. Then just plug dash back in to be able to start bike and test. Otherwise you have to fumble from underneath. If you go through the dash you can see them. It's not hard taking plastic and dash out. That's how I'd do it.

A person with small hands can adjust the light without removing any covers, but it's not easy.

Who cares what car drivers are doing, flashing lights at you,
Their lights are never adjusted right anyway,for
Country roads,

I've got NARVA 130 high / 90 low beam globe in mine
Why so i need to see all the dangers
Kangaroos,wambats,deer & emu's that just love to

Run infront of you.

Even out on the dual lane freeways oncoming vehicles
Panic,so I flip on high beams to let them know
They have shit to be pissed at...

Once out on one of my earlier 1day trips,same place twice on the princess freeway
The roads are that rough the can and have broken the
Light filament in the globe,so I rode onwards to canberra with
Only my high beam! Yep, a total of 160km's on high beam.
To get to a mates place in woden, then fix it in the morning...
So kylie girl do as u please your safety comes first

I think that is a possibility it sounds feasible. Thanks

I did that a couple of times so they were aware I didn't have the high beam on.

Thank you so much everyone for your feed back. Will have a look and see how I go for the adjusting. I do have small hands so will have a go at it. Landmine you are so funny. Hubby has a Busa but just realised he has his lowered as well.

**BlackLilly** · 04-02-2012, 07:49am
