Hi
Have to squeeze the bike through a narrow gate at home so every day I carefully fold the left hand mirror up (holding the stem) in order to get through. When I first got the bike (about 7 months ago) the mirror mechanism was nice an tight, but it has over time become pretty loose.
I've done a forum search but can only find reference to this issue on the FZ6 forum, apparently the 600's pivot mechanism is held tight with a rivet rather than a nut & bolt.
I've taken off the side panel and found the two bolts that fix to the fairing are tight, but before I strip the mirror off, does anyone know if the FZ1S pivot is simply riveted (in which case I may just bite the bullet and buy a new mirror), or fitted with something more adjustable
TIA
