Hi everyone


i have a keeway superlight 125 bought it from new had 0 problems with it so far. I went to set off onit one morning a noticed the light beam was well above the right level pointing pretty much straight up. the only problem is i see no adjuster for the light it self just the one for adjusting headlamp up and down which hasn't moved, inside doesn't appear to have moved either or come loose its just randomly one day point up. the full beam is fine as its a separate bulb thats just slap in middle of the lamp.

if anyone has any experience with the keeway and could help id be very grateful ^^

Has the bulb come loose inside the light?

could the physical headlight have moved up?

I know on mine it has rattles loose enough to move once - even using nylocks Shocked

from what i have seen it doesn't appear to have moved but ill have a look tomorrow and see if it has but from what i have seen its on full lock so it can only technically move downwards.

ill reply tomorrow with pictures if i haven't fixed it.

Sounds like a right hand side of the road ride model.

Hi guys


sorry about the late reply but i took the bulb out to check that over and it appears it has blown but full beam is still intact the problem is i carn't see what type of bulb it is since the writing has nearly come off i can figure the 12v out but no idea from there haha

also it has another smaller bulb at the bottom of the light so i can ride it before sun goes down as other people can see me still due to it but after dark i carnt see road

Pictures are worth a thousand words. Photograph the bulb and someone on here will be able to tell you exactly what to get.
