Currently, the high beam of the 450x is set in such a way that the light beam shoots out above the road, and does not provide enough illumination towards the farther end of the road.
What I suggest is that the Output of the Highbeam is increased by a bit more wrt the low beam than it is currently; And position the light throw a bit down onto the road.
I guess this is not something that’s easily implementable in the current models. But for future models, I request the R&D peeps @ Ather to please give this a serious thought.
Secondly, I am one among many people out there who prefer the old warm color for vehicle headlights. So, if Ather could provide compatible warm LEDs as an OEM spare part @ the showrooms, it’d be great. Just for reference, white headlights are banned in France
PS: It is very probable that I faced difficulties with the high beam & the white light, only because I ride around in a rural/semi-urban, slightly hilly environment. The inadequately illuminated roads that are filled with potholes, and a terrain that frequently goes up and down, is slightly difficult to ride through on the Ather, compared to other conventional scooters.
Let customer choose between warm/white LEDs while purchasing scooter.
Have warm LEDs as an OEM spare part.
Not ok Boomer. Reject Tradition. Embrace Modernity.
Even in low beam mode, many car drivers flicker their headlamps indicating that my headlamp hits their eyes. I wish we could lower the beam. Well, it could be due to my body weight (86kg) and with a pillion rider, it goes further up while high beam hits the top of a truck
Yes, it’s about the low beam hitting the eyes of the car driver coming from the opposite direction, and the high beam hitting a roof of a truck! Well, I stay about 105 km away at 1385m above sea level hill station from Ather service centre which is at 25m above sea level. In between, I had to request shopkeepers and refill centres for charging; many denied my request on the first delivery day riding home!! After charging at two places, I reached home at 4:26 am. So, I want to avoid going there at the service centre if there is any other option either motor/screw adjustment or through software. Else I will have to wait the Odo to reach 5000km
As @subhramanian.ravi pointed out, the throw can be fixed by the technicians at the service centre. I got mine fixed when I went for my 5k km service. It’s waaay better now. Still, I find it difficult to see the road well after a rain and the road gets darker. I believe a warmer light might work better during that case.
Your message earlier said Shilling is at a height of 11000m. You edited, that’s good. But don’trespond after editing. Also if leh is at 11000m, it’shigher than Mt. Everest. Wonder where you’regetting your info
You didn’t get the point here. I edited the typographical mistake, not even the whole characters, you can get the logs from the Ather if you want buddy. I mentioned two cities and you can get their approximate sea level heights by any means you know of. I had also shown my approximate locational height from Gear S3 watch. Hope you are satisfied. My ponit here is driving down to the workshop/showroom is not a problem but driving up to my place of living is an issue. I took the delivery of the bike by going to showroom which is 100km away by road. I reached home at 4:25am after charging the scooty at two different locations. There is no grid charger in between you should understand first before writing. There is NO joke to what I wrote.
If you are good with mechanics, you can remove the panel and reach the adjustment screw. There was someone who had a mini tutorial somewhere in a telegram group, which would be guide enough for your situation.
