Problem for Suzuki 2003 GS 500 E

Cannot adjust headlight beam vertically on GS 500 '03




By JayBishop on Sep 19, 2009

" "
Wanted to adjust headlight beam higher, loosened L+R bolts, headlight would NOT BUDGE, then the nuts came off inside the headlight casing! Downloaded service manual, not exactly the right year (my bike is a 2003, but it seems it hasn't changed much since 1997), and they mention a 3rd bolt that has to be adjusted for the vertical plane but they show no diagram of where it is... or its function. Now I have to open up the casing and put those nuts back on the bolts, then still figure out how to adjust the headlight higher. HELP! And thanks in advance for any advice for this compleat beginner!

On the 85-97 GS500 E...headlight adjustment is made by turning the adjusting screw (phillips head) in the headlight rim located on the lower right side (looking at the light) Turn it clockwise to move the beam to the right, counter clock wise to the left. Vertical adjustment is made my loosening the mounting bolts and the bolt in the guide located in the headlight shell and tilting the light up and down as required. On some of the newer models there are little slots in the bezel, the adjustments are made from there.
Good luck...i hope this helps...please rate me a fixya.
