Tuono R Gen 2 Headlights (low or high beam)

bermudachris · Jun 11, 2012

Guys, I;ve just bought a Gen 2 Tuono R on a 59 plate. Luverly.
But - handbook says that bottom headlight bulbs are low beam. Thing is, on low beam it is top two bulbs which are lit!! And I;ve had a couple of irate drivers flashing me suggesting that my low/high beam are wrong way round. Any ideas.........

Nah mate,....books wrong.On a standard UK bike the low beam is the top two bulbs.You will have to get busy with the adjusters.

Never mind how high they are, make sure you can see at night at the speed you are comfy at. Thats how i adjust mine(theyre HIGH) and passed MOT as well

you'll also find the high beam is like a search beam at night, very narrow tunnel of light :suspect

That'll explain my problems then.

All sorted now. Observation - actually easier to remove headlamp shroud and individual light units to make up&down adjustment than it is to try to reach the damned adjusters when in situ. BTW, adjust up&down adjuster so that the allen screw is proud from light unit by 2-3mm. Seems to be about right.
