NHTSA Complaint #11109572 — 2018 YAMAHA FZ-09

HEADLIGHTS ARE INCAPABLE OF MAINTAINING A SAFE DISTANCE DURING CORNERING. ON ANY CORNER, THE HEADLIGHTS WILL DIP TOO FAR DOWN AND NO LONGER ILLUMINATE THE ROAD. THE ISSUE IS WELL DOCUMENTED AMONGST OWNERS OF 2018 MT-09 AND ALL AGREE THAT THIS HEADLIGHT PATTERN DESIGN IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO POINT OF REQUIRING AUXILIARY LIGHTING, OR ALWAYS KEEPING THE HIGH BEAMS ON. I'VE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM DURING OFF-RAMPS ON THE HIGHWAY IN WHICH I WASN'T ABLE TO RUN HIGHBEAMS DUE TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. ON THE OFF-RAMP CORNER, I SLOWED DOWN TO THE RAMP SPEED OF 30MPH AND THE CORNER WAS STILL ONLY LIT TO .5 SECONDS OF RIDING BEING ILLUMINATED IN FRONT OF ME.
