take it back to the dealer if its new, or pop to Halfords and buy the Chinese motorbike manual.

not being funny but It comes with diagrams and will show you what you need to do, rather than us try to explain it

We've established with a recent Lexmoto ZSX post that popping into the deal to adjust a headlight is embarrassing, persistence paid of in that case although we never did get an answer from OP despite asking.

Debatable, tis rather generic and the adrenaline is a new-er model so wouldn't be covered. Best of times advice from the haynes is debatable, better than nothing but not the law of motorbike mechanics by far.

..

Looking at pictures it looks like the position is set in one place by the front fairing that goes around it, are you sure that it needs adjusting and not just a more powerful bulb?

If you're sure adjustment then remove the fairing and see what's holding the headlight in place, can't imagine it ad be anything more than using a spanner to undo the lock nuts and adjust position.. could mean riding without fairing though.

Also headlight position is part of the MOT, not that you'll have to worry about it because you'd have sold it by the time it comes round to that if it survives that long.

But yeah, remove fairing and see what's underneath.

It's been around since 2009 as the Pulse Adrenaline.

Pretty much. If it's badly off then the bulb might be skew on't treadle in the fitting. Either way, you're going to have to get access to it by getting the plastic off then the adjustment or bulb access mechanisms should quickly become apparent.

And there's me thinking the lexmoto adrenaline was actually different, such innocence. Embarassed

Nah, Pulse is just a Lexmoto brand. They're retiring it now, along with the Adrenaline 250 which sold a whopping 105 units all in. Sad
