Am I the only one to have a quite large unlit rectangular area between the high beam and the low beam from the headlight of the SR/F? I find that distracting, thus rather annoying. I've tried to sketch how it appeared.

Behind the headlight case there the usual adjustment screw to move the beam up and down, but since it affects the whole headlight body, the unlit area just moves along. Unfortunately "The headlight/running light assembly is sealed and is non-serviceable" so I don't see any other adjustment I could try.

You are not alone.  And you are correct---it isn't adjustable as the two LED arrays are on the same "board" which is only adjusted by a screw that moves the entire assembly.  When I received my bike, the high beam was in the trees.  I brought the low beam down to a point that is a little higher than it should be and just used the low beam for all my driving.  Hopefully Zero will rethink the layout of the LED's to get rid of the dark spot.

Thank you siai47, meanwhile I could talk to a friend of mine, also owner of a SR/F. He said he noticed that as well, but got used to it. I guess I will have to as well.
