Headlight Adjustment

[canegrinder]

While driving at night people keep flashing their bright lights at me. I guess my lighte are set to high. Question: How do I lower them. I have increased the air pressure in the air shock which helped some but my lights are still coon hunting. Help, Jerry

The RT has adjustment knobs inside the two removable side covers (the cover over the oil tank and the opposite side). The instructions are in your manual.

Thanks Scotty. I had seen those knobs and was wondering what the were for. Jerry

Assumptions:
Spyder RT Headlight Height: 35.0" (This could change with a heavier/lighter driver/passenger, cargo load, tire pressure, performance
shocks, etc.)
BRP Spec for Headlight Adjustment: Adjust for a low beam height of 25.3" to 28.8" (27.1" halfway point) at 33' with a 200 lb driver.
Calculated Angle: 1.15° downward

Angle Distance Low Beam Height Adjustment
1.15° 33' 25.3" - 28.8"
1.15° 30' 26.0" - 29.5"
1.15° 25' 27.2" - 30.7"
1.15° 20' 28.4" - 31.9"
1.15° 15' 29.6" - 33.1"
1.15° 10' 30.8" - 34.3"

One of our more Mathematically-oriented brethren worked all of this out...

Very helpful. Thanks, Jerry

Especially performance shocks, i.e., Elkas.
