I finally got my first "ride" on my new-to-me 2001 MXZ700, and the headlight seems to suck, low-beam is all but unusable except for puttering across a street at engagement speed, anything faster than that and you're overrunning them. I used high beam almost the whole 50-mile ride, and even that didn't give me the illumination that I was wanting.

I'm pretty sure that they are adjustable, but has anyone else experienced this?

On mine (FIII 800) there is a big knob on the back side of the hood. Just open the hood and look for it up around the back of the speedo area (just below)

No Idea if the MXZ's is here.....................

Yeah, it's there too.

Wouldn't it be nice if it was mounted so that you could fine tune it while riding, instead of having to pop the hood, try, and repeat until you get it correct?

It's probably best that the sled has to be stopped. I could see someone adjusting at 60mph, and having a tree jump out in front of them.

i have a 2000 mxz 700 and ive had that problem with my lights when going slow and idleing what does that nob look like?
my lights go brighter when i ride at faster speeds if i can make them brighter by this nob are they going to be super bright when im riding at a faster speed?

the knob is used to adjust your headlight aim / height . when your engine runs slower it doesn,t generate as much electricity ie dim lights. If you run your hot grips on low your light will be brighter. Newer sleds have higher output stators (generator) and lights ,grips will be brighter and hotter. If you adjust your headlight make sure the low beam isn,t blinding oncoming riders. :cool:

Same with the reverse beeper. Man what safety features they give us!
