Adjusting Dual Headlights

Post by WSM »

So I try to avoid night-riding, but had to do a bit last night and found my high-beams aimed at the trees.
The low-beams were prefect, lighting about a 50 yard path on the road ahead of me, but the highs just shot up, above the road at about a 10 degree angle.
Any way to adjust just one and not the other?
(I have a the dual lamps)

All Original, except for a custom saddlebag set up. A machine shop buddy of mine seamlessly fitted two GS bags on the rear end for last summers ride.

That is not possible. The FZR600 uses the H4 bulb which is a dual filament bulb. If the high beam is aimed too high, then the low beam is as well - it is just not as noticeable.

DOT states that the beams should be aimed 3" bellow the vertical point @ a 20 foot distance. Make sure you do the adjustment while sitting on the bike.
Yes, that is a Single Sided Swingarm FZR600 that I built.

Something is lurking, waiting, wanting to be built......It calls to me from the darkness....

I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel....Then I realize that it is the train coming to run my ass over....
