    They are your headlight adjusters.

    The procedure for aiming your headlights is in the Owners Manual

    Loosen the nut. Turn the knob one way and it raises the headlight, turning the knob the other way lowers the headlight.
    Once satisfied with where the headlight points, re-tighten the nut.
    The left and right headlights are adjusted independently.

    As always, my free advice comes with a double your money back guarantee.
    If it ain't broke, don't break it.

    Yup! That's the dance...

    ...And it is fully-explained in your owner's manual!

    Common mistake, it's actually the fill line for the blinker fluid. The drain is in the top of the reservoir. Seems backwards don't it? Maybe the manual is wrong.

    But yes, those are the adjusting cables for the headlights. A little goofy, but they work pretty slick. Yet another cobble job engineering feat by BRP.
