The headlights have a small angle pattern and are very bright but when traveling around corners when the bike has to be leaned, the pattern dips into the road and doesn't provide ample light around corners and IS a very big hazard for non-lighted roads at night. Here IS a video explaining and showing the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzroou1ta04

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. links to other owner's video documentation: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l11an9ajjfq - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzroou1ta04
