Having ridden a few evenings now with my two week old Tenere and having fiddled with the hieght adjuster, can I confirm with other riders that the headlight unit just looks better than it works.

On dip the spread is excellent and certainly works well enough for a single bulb. On main beam there suddenly appears a huge whole of blackness imediately infront of the bike, the beam narrows to a single spot and the main beam seems not to penetrate any further than the dip.

If I raise the lamps so the main beam works well ahead on the road (black hole even bigger) that leaves the dip setting so high that I just get flashed by all and sundry.

I am assuming that this is just poor design on an otherwise excellent bike and that there is basically nothing that I can do about it. If I am wrong . . .
