Vertical headlight adjustment

[kahnma]

Are the 2 screws on the bottom of the headlight for horizontal adjustment? Is one vertical? I need to adjust my headlight vertically.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, one is for vertical, the other for horizontal. Don't recall which is which and I'm not near my shop manual at the moment. A suggested methond for aiming the headlight:
On a level surface, stand the bike upright and have someone measure from the floor to the center of the headlight lens. Then make a mark that high on a light colored surface such as a garage door. Back the bike up about 17' and adjust the low beam to hit that mark. Gets it pretty close.

Oh, and it should be done with a rider (weight) on the bike, to represent what it would be like in use.
