Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi Hacks - Head Lamp Beam Adjustment

Here is a quick hack to adjust the lower beam (projection lamp) on the Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi. The below steps can help change the focus height of the lower beam.

-Park the bike on the main stand
-Turn on the low bean with engine running in neutral
-Bend down on the left side on the bike, and put your right hand inside the faring, just below the space under the lamp assembly
-Feel for a metal U section on the right side of the assembly
-Just inside this U section, feel for a plastic butterfly knob
-This can be rotated to change the beam height (cut off)
-Clockwise rotations make the beam go higher and higher, and vice-versa

I think its perfectly safe for this to be done by feeling around, if done slowly and cautiously. A slim hand works better is what I found. Next, I'm trying to locate a similar knob for the upper/high beam; will write back if one such is found.

Dude, clockwise lowers the beam and anti-clockwise raises the beam.

Also the high beam adjuster is very difficult to find .....looks like BAL didn't consider ease of maintenance in it's design parameters.

Yes I had some disturbing sound from the silencer in the beginning. But it just faded off slowly...
