Re: XMax 300 headlight
Here's a thing - that nut and those slots are not there on my '18 bike - just a smooth round 'knob'.
It may be an allen screw, but my fingers can't feel a hole. As it were.

Re: XMax 300 headlight
Definitely agree with the bars in the forward position making a significant difference in the handlingGreyerbeard wrote: ↑Sun Nov 04, 2018 2:33 amBut overall, I still think the X-Max is excellent...a different animal now it's run in. And the handling SO much better with the 'bars in the forward position.

Re: XMax 300 headlight
One thing that is interesting is that they want £300 plus £20 delivery,
Fowler's want £259 for a brand new one.

Re: XMax 300 headlight
Looking at those ebay pics again, I may have been feeling the wrong knob

Re: XMax 300 headlight
Just had a grope on mine what I take to be the adjuster is on the back of the unit near the top to the right of
that plastic peg and mounting bracket.

And does it do anything then?
A longer throw on the main would be helpful, although my big issue is the lack of width of the main beam and how everything in front goes dark when cornering

Re: XMax 300 headlight
I was wrong - yes that 'adjuster' is there on mine.
Not easy to see or get at!

oncoming drivers.
