Headlight alignment
« on: August 24, 2014, 11:36:37 PM »

Hi, I am the proud owner of a Zero DS (2014 model) and I would like to align the headlight. Pursuant to the owner's manual, the adjustment screw is located on the back upper right corner of the headlamp. To adjust the headlight,
the screw must be screwed until the correct beam alignment is achieved.

Apparently I am too stupid, but I cannot find any screw. Did someone else have the same problem than me?

Kind regards

I don't see an adjustment screw either.  But I did find a short rubber hose attached to the lower right hand backside of the headlight housing.  I wonder what that does?   ???

The screw is near the top of the headlight housing. It's difficult to adjust as installed, so I wound up loosening the mounting to swing the headlight forward for access, then put it back to compare.

I wound up pushing the light downward very slightly.
