Headlight aim - adjustment

Got any questions about the BMW's R1200RT/R1250RT's onboard audio, Bluetooth or the Electrical system?

Dynamic ESA tries to keep the bike at the same level/height irrespective of setting or load.  If you go from One up to two with luggage you will feel the bike rise and then nearly return to the original height.  ESA 2 feels like you're in a lift, especially if you are a short git like me.

The dynamic ESA, controls the "attitude" of the bike under acceleration or braking.

"Dynamic ESA retains the rider-selected electronic control of spring preload, as on previous systems. It is not truly "dynamic"."

Honest, you don't shoot up,in the air when you increase the preload.  My little legs stay in contact with the ground on all settings. And the system isn't bust.

Does anyone know if you can raise the headlight aim in addition to the lever under the headlight itself?
Remove left side fairing, 2 screws and a couple of snaps.
