Query on ST13 mirrors !
« on: April 29, 2013, 07:55:31 PM »
I have a concern with the mirrors on my 13.

Is there any adjustment on them, particularly the left one which gives you a smaller,
but closer, picture of  traffic.

I have no problem with the RHS mirror because it is one of those funny names ones
and it shows me heaps of info,but when I have tried to change the angle of the left
mirror I cannot get it to move.

Is it supposed to move or is it locked in that position?

If it is locked I will fit one of those little  round curved mirrors to increase my rearward vision.

After a tip-over I had cause to replace my left-mirror lens and found that both left and right mirror casings are plug mounted, ie, they fit to the bike by way of plugs and sockets.

So, to remove left mirror casing just give it a firm pull of a cupla centimetres and it will come loose and hang down and then u can see the mirror lens mounting which is hand adjustable. Sounds like yours might be jammed by dirt or grit and just needs to be cleaned and WD40'd to free it up.

Right side standard mirror worx the same.  :thumbs

Thank you St.George for your prompt reply.
