Here is a very helpful thread bro. https://www.hayabusa.org/forum/general-bike-related-topics/129304-highbeam-adjustment-help.html If you have a Gen II, I think and somebody please correct me, you only have one adjustment, high and low beam move at the same time.

That is correct for the Gen II, both lights adjust together, not individually.

Adjust it up a little, not a lot. No ones coming at you when you use the high beam. Shouldn't be an issue.

Haven't checked the link James gave you, but read and follow.

Its for a Gen I Robert. Shows a schematic with location of adjustment screws.

Close enough for Gen II, same basic principles and the owners manual gives instructions as well, so he should be alright.

I always warn about the nylon adjusting nuts, because the mechanic at my shop stripped out a $300 headlight assembly adjusting my Gen I

These bikes are terrible from the factory, just park it facing a wall. Mark starting point and adjust up slightly ; on the road where the light extends farther it will make a big difference.

HIDs if that doesn't fix it for ya.

Don't know the rule but a few inches from ten feet will be a good little change on the road.
