I have a 2000 M2. The low beam only gives me about 20' of light. I have to ride with the hi-beam on at night to be able to see normally.

Does anyone have any suggestion for a solution? Aftermarket light, etc?

Maybe you've done this, but have you tried adjusting it?

Ah-hah! No one ever accused me of being overly mechanically-inclined....

Now for the fun part: My bike has only the horizontal adjustment screw, not the vertical one. I noticed the pic is of a '01 or '02 M2. perhaps the '00 headlight adjustment was different? I don't have my owners manual, so I am at a loss...

Thanks for any help you can give.

Loosen the 2 side screws (one on each side) that hold the whole housing slightly and adjust it then tighten them back up. I had to raise mine up also.
