Low Beam fine, High Beam too high
After I've adjusted my R1200S low beam properly, the high beam is way too high. Any ideas?
[Previously I had the problem where the vertical headlight adjuster jumped its tracks (the little sphere jumped out of its cup so that the adjuster doesn't do anything. I fixed that and the adjuster seems to work fine now.] Thanks |

They do have separate adjusters... just saying.
I forgot, because it has been so long, but you may be able to take the HL assembly out and adjust it within.

One is for lateral and one horizontal.
Adjusting headlight • Motorcycle on level surface. • Rider’s weight on motorcycle (approx.80 kg/ 176 lbs). • Move swivel lever to horizontal position (basic setting). • Turn the adjusting screw to correct the headlight beam throw. Lateral adjustment: ....................... Adjusting screw on left of headlight. Vertical adjustment: .....................Adjusting screw on right of headlight. Turn screw anti-clockwise:............... longer throw Turn screw clockwise: ..................... shorter throw Setting: .... -12 cm (-4.7 in) over a distance of 10 m (32.8 ft)

Bill... YOU ARE BACK!
Last time I saw you, you were in someone's computer somewhere in Australia... looked like you were trying to get out... Glad you made it.

Joergen, Signit98,
Not solved yet. I'm going to try Signit's suggestion of trying to manipulate the hi beam internally/independently - maybe there's something not seated right entirely withing the high beam assembly. (Or maybe my repair of the adjuster was incomplete.) [Trouble is, on the R12S nothing can be reliably done (except by a dextrous Pixie) to the headlights (even change bulbs) without removing the whole assembly.] Bill Swartzwelder: on the R12S the vertical adjuster is between the two beams and the horizontal is to the right of both, looking from aft. Question: I assume you were describing the adjustment for the R1200GS; was your "left/right of headlight" looking from aft or from in front of the bike? Thanks, Schwenn |

Sorry I was thinking R1100S and pulled that from the r1100S service manual.
