Get Your BSA Gold Star Ready for MOT: Headlight Adjustment Guide

[@LumpyCarbs]

Proper advice, clearly demonstrated and eloquently delivered. 👍

@@LumpyCarbs Did the video after meeting another two BSA owners. One had a low headlight and they asked how to adjust. Just helping the community!

How come after giving out all the very useful information on setting up your headlight for MOT'S. That your bike failed the MOT once this particular thing? Have MOT centres got it in for you or something?

[@MotoTingle]

@@anthonyhalifax1027 My motorcycle did not fail it MOT. The reason I made this video is to assist owners in how to setup their headlights for the MOT test.

[@MotoTingle]

Many owners after adding or removing fly screens no longer have their headlight adjusted correctly. I met a few friends and one was super low and other was really high. So I made this video then took my bike to a beam setter to show the calculations work. And owners have thanked me for making this video

​@@MotoTingle Okay,, sorry,my mistake. When you ripped up the MOT certificate,, I imagined that it was a failure or something. I will rewatch it and give myself a telling off 😨

[@MotoTingle]

@ Haha! Crazy how things get translated. I’m still learning KZbin. It’s not long till the first batch of BSA’s goto MOT. Had quite a few thanks from owners I’ve bumped into, I’ve got it’s ECU out at the moment, it keeps stalling at junctions so taken it upto BHP UK where I’m back up next week cracking the ECU’s protection before remapping it. Hope I get time to film

My mot guy fixes mine you need to find a new tester

[@MotoTingle]

@@thomasobrien5976 It’s an instructional video for owners that don’t have helpful testers to be fair.

[@thomasobrien5976]

@MotoTingle Great info I never new this myself

[@MotoTingle]

@@thomasobrien5976 If it helps a few owners than that’s why I do these videos. A few other riders recently had headlights too low and one way too high. So thought if I did this video they could adjust and at least either see more tarmac as they ride or not dazzle other motorists. Cheers!
