being bright lighted

[corbinshy@gmail.com]

I have a 2014 S10 w/ LED headlights and I get bright lighted when my low beams are on. I believe they are adjusted right. I guess I was wondering if anybody else had this issue or do I need to adjust my headlights? ::021::

My guess is that they are adjusted too high. I never get flashed, although I had actually expected to be with the Tenere's dual lamp design.

The low beam cut off, that light/dark line you should see out in front somewhere needs to be below oncoming traffic's line of sight. If that line is above their line of sight there is no difference between high and low, it's just bright.
There is a reason most manufacturers of LED lighting label them as Off Highway Use Only. Only a few have done what's needed for DOT.

your lights are high.
I have HIDs and a rigid 6" light that I run 24/7. Have not been high beamed once.

I have PIAA 530's and don't have that problem with cagers

I have a 2015 ES and got flashed a lot in the beginning. I turned both lights down 1/4 turn and I don't get flashed anymore.

The 2015 ES headlights do seem to be brighter than my previous 2012...

Suspension sag. might not be enough.When I carry passenger at night I need to crank up the preload, otherwise my lights are now to high.Check it out. Jim

On my 20144 ES I got numerous flashes from oncoming traffic (particularly trucks) on a recent trip. I was one up with a duffle on the back seat with the suspension set to solo rider with luggage. I had to set the suspension to the two up with luggage in order to get the lights to aim low enough to keep out of oncoming vehicles eyes. I'll have to find out where the adjustment screws are one of these days.

The Yamaha website specifications for the 2014/2015 ST indicate that the headlights are H7 55/55 watt bulbs not LEDs.

The Yamaha website specifications for the 2014/2015 ST indicate that the headlights are H7 55/55 watt bulbs not LEDs.

and yet people modify their bikes from manufacturers specifications all the time.

like... H7 HID and H7 LED bulbs.
