Headlight, bulb crooked???

Easy fix without removing the fairing. Remove chrome bezel (1 screw on the bottom), unscrew the 4 screws holding the bucket to the fairing and the headlamp/bucket will fall into your hands. Your see a clip holding the bulb into the headlamp. Remove it and straighten the bulb and re-install in the reverse order.

you should fix that before it whacks the bulb.
either fairing off or remove the headlight assy from the fairing, your choice ( i hesitate to use the fairing screws too often in case one breaks, so I'd remove the headlight bucket and mount
after you take the rubber boot off, the retaining clip is released, ( at the 7 o'clock position, just push the tang from under the chrome clip)...and you'll see where the clip is released a black phillips head screw, this holds the diffuser.
align the diffuser and tighten the screw, bulb back in, clip, boot and remount.

And while you're in there (if the bike is a few years old) just as well clean the inside of the lens, gets cloudy after a while. Alcohol or vinegar on an old white sock, twirl with with an "L" shaped tool. I "carefully" used a large allen wrench, and was mindful not to scratch the inside of the lens. Worked wonders for night vision and just plain looks better. For what it's worth...
