Mirror arms getting loose? - Yamaha FZ6 Forums - International FZ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

I've noticed that the mirror arms on my FZ6 have started to get "loose" at their base pivots. They easily flop back and forth about a half inch at the pivot. I've had a look at the pivot, and it seems to be a pin or rivet fastener that holds it together, so it's non-adjustable for tension.
Adjusting the mirrors means pulling them forward first, where they rest from wind pressure while riding. Not a big deal, but a bit annoying....

Have you taken them off and seen if you could tighten a adjustment?
If it is still under warrenty that could be presented as a safety issue and have liability....

Might get them fixed or replaced anyway.

mine is the same way. I may be overly optimistic but I have found it useful. I have the mirrors adjusted for riding in a tuck, when I'm riding low speed around town push the arms forward now there adjusted for the city.

(mine don't see that setting much)
