My headlight beam seemed high too, when I bought the bike. It didn't really want to stay lower, either, when I adjusted.

I had to open the headlight shell to plug in the tachometer wire, and I had to undo the two bolts to install the flyscreen, which I did at the same time. When I reassembled, I lowered the beam.

If you open the headlight shell and fiddle with the wires a bit, you might be able to pull out enough slack to lower it. You probably need less than a centimeter.

Since then, I've decided to raise the headlight beam a bit, put in a brighter bulb, and lube the speedo cable, so I'll be at it again on a warmish day or more likely next spring.
