Vertical headlight adjustment
Took the C14 out for its first night ride last night. Headlights are aimed WAY, WAY too low. Don't know if this was a setup prep item that was missed, or what. Question is, do I use the dash mounted adjustments to bring them all the way up, or is there a course adjustment I can do first and then use the dash controls to 'fine tune' them?

I just adjusted mine a # of turns to bring it to where I thought the light was good.
Keep in mind, you turn the left adjuster counter clockwise, right clockwise (basically out from the center). I took probably close to 10 turns to get it where the light was far enough ahead.

yep, same with me and other folks here too. Just crank and crank some more, they'll come in.

C14Rider...you just need to use the dash-mounted adjusters and ignore what they say in the manual about using the high beams to adjust. I set them up using the low beams and they're perfect.

There's been some reports of those knobs falling off too. I put a dab of RTV Silcone on the shafts, so far so good. I'd avoid glue since they need to be removed to allow the dash to come off.
