Poor headlight on main beam

That is good to know Wayne. I know there are people out there that ride with High Beams on all the time during the day but I have never been one that does that. I use my driving lights for that during the day. Will keep that in mind.....
 
Interesting thread but it looks like it started as headlight on main beam wasn't much better than on dip.
One problem that Stelvios have is that the headlamps dip to the right - in the UK (and many of our former colonies) this means when you dip your headlamp it shines right into the face of the driver of the oncoming vehicle.
So that the bikes can get through the MoT you may find that the headlamps have been adjusted downwards so that they can pass.
Technically this is, I understand, a MoT failure.
In 2010 this was the Piaggio position:
Thanks for your info on the headlight beam setting, we have previously advised the factory with full report and photos that I took, with it on an MOT test station beam checker, quite some time ago. We have advised them that we feel that this could become an issue when the Stelvio becomes 3 yrs old and requires an MOT. We await their resolution. As soon as they advise of their preferred solution we will of course advise you through the dealer portal.
Never heard any more on this.
