2020 Hawk RPS 250 - Headlight adjustment/aim?

neterno · 09-11-2021, 10:47 AM

Is there a way to aim or adjust the headlight?
I upgraded to a brighter bulb, but it still only really brightens the area directly down on the ground in front of the bike.
Thanks.

It's the Phillips headed screw on the bottom.

It's hard to get a screwdriver in there, but you can take the fender off if you have to.

Turning the screw clockwise raises the beam. Counter-clockwise lowers it.

With both my 2015 Hawk and 2021 Hawk DLX the headlights still pointed too high even when I backed the screws all of the way out. On my 2015 I lowered the beam further by removing the headlight assembly and jamming a nut (don't remember which size) between the end of the screw and the bottom of the reflector housing. I haven't fixed the issue on my 2021. I'd like to find a longer screw and avoid the kludge.
