Headlight update

Well, spent loads of time getting the fairing off so I could get a closer look at the adjuster mechanism. Basically, its a plastic worm and cog arrangement made in soft black plastic that lowers and raises the back of the light unit. I think that some teeth have sheered off the cog part. Basically, the owners manual is wrong with regard to the direction of turn - to raise the beam turn the knob CLOCKWISE.

I know when this happened - when I took the bike for the first service I commented on the beam settings and was told that you just have to keep turning the adjuster... well, they obviously did that following the manual and f****d it.

Now, I wonder if that 'll be covered by the warranty....

I also really hope I never have a bulb blow when I'm out and about - the main beam is accessable but the dip really is a fairing off/miror remove/indicator disconnect/lower plastic shield removal - a right pain
