easy way to get the headlight off???

I want to move it forward so I can 1. change the bulb 2. adjust the height of one of the forks ( its a few mm out).
The manual states just loosen the top two allen head bolts .How to do this?? You'd need a tiny bloody allen key.Only other option is to remove it all bit by bit.
Any ideas?

You need to remove the fender assembly then remove the three 10mm nuts that hold the speedo and push it up and out of the way, then you can get at the tow small allen bolts. They will strip very easy , I replaced with hex head bolts.
Good luck.

it's not - what are you going to do pay someone to do it for you ? I can do it in 10 min.

Jono, if you are dropping the front wheel out to adjust the front fork heights i've got a steering head lifter if you want to borrow it. Not a very complicated job. Give me a buzz and i'll bring it round. You supply the beer
