Headlight adjustment

[dickieshep]

I run a 2000 RS and recently upgraded my headlamp bulbs for a pair of H4 xenon extreme white bulbs and fitted a relay to have both headlights on together.

Their is a definite increase in illumination but I find myself looking further than the light shines.

Is their a way to adjust the headlamps as you can on a car so the light shines further??

There must be adjustment on the 200 RS but I don't know if it is the same as the 2002-2004 RS and ST, on those models the adjustment is the same. The manual recommends removing the cockpit, I removed the nose fairing to adjust mine. There are four adjustment screws on the back side of the headlight assembly (I think they are hex head bolts). As viewed from the rider's point of view, turn the right upper screw clockwise to move the beam to the right, turn the left upper screw anti-clockwise to move the beam to the left.
There are two vertical adjustment screws near the middle of the assembly. Turn the vertical adjusters clockwise to lower the beam and of course anti-clockwise to raise the beam.
Hope this helps.
