My high beams just illuminate the pavement at night. How do I get them to point further ahead?

My XB9R pops and misses at stop lights when twisting the throttle and even causes it to shut off at times. What causes this? I have only 11 thousand miles on the bike now. Also, how many miles can you get out of a properly maintained XB?

perhaps your idle is set too low? also you may be in need of a TPS zero reset ( 10,000 miles is the book interval )
you did say "properly maintained" so you DO have a service manual, right?

one other quick question for you: why are you twisting the throttle at a stoplight? is the idle set too low to stay running? you may well be confusing the bike's EFI by " twisting the throttle at stop lights"

Remove front turn signals and fairing. There are screws at the corners of the headlight housing used for up + down and left + right adjustment.
