Mirrors ajustment

NewRider · Oct 4, 2013

My right hand side mirror seem not tight enough so every time there is high winds or I gun the bike above 150 Km/h (90 Mp/h) it loose it's adjustment so I end up readjusting during the ride. It happend pretty often just enough to starrt anoying me.

Is there a way to thighen it? I've looked at it and it does not seem to be possible. Any comments?

have you tried locktite the thread? Most of the time, it should help

HI bazwp, there is a locknut on the top, not sure by memory but 14mm I think. That needs nipping up once mirror is in correct position, I had to tighten my LH mirror, no problems now.

I thought it only had one nut to lock the mirror into place on the support. I'll have a second look before departure.

Cheers!

Ah your talking about the actual adjustable mirror moving with the wind, I thought you where talking about the actual mirror stem where it threads onto the handle bars where there is a locknut. I dont think you can tighten the top bit, maybe ask your dealer to replace it under warranty.

I have the same issue on my GSR, the bolt undose a bit. I get around this by screwing the mirror around and it tightens it up nicely

Look under the rubber boot next to the mirror. There is a nut that you can adjust that compresses a spring. This sprng applies a force to the socket that mirror pivots on.

Actually we can, the nut between the stem and the mirror (under the rubber) is adjsutable. I should had tried it before but it's the way it's built that confused me. I've thighten it and it worked. No more readjustment needed during the ride. Case solved.

Yeh result, well done Stradasphere

Good, my left mirror is too loose also and I will tighten this morning while I am thinking about it.

I'm surprised that the first set of mirrors that actually work are on a booming twin. All my former I-4 rockets was just a vibrating blur when you looked back.
