| Description of the problem | 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 2017 fz-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 1 second of riding being illuminated in front of me.
