loose mirror , fz1s

[delbert]

Hi guy
Before I waste my time removing my mirror (fz1s) does any one know if you can tighten the swivel part. Mine seems to have worked a bit loose and wobbles about a fair bit .
Is there a nut on the pivot to adjust ?

It is not adjustable - it's pressed in place.

If you need replacements, I have a pair from my '01 I'll sell ya cheap!

Of course, the shipping to Old England might make it a bother.

He might as well sell them to you Diesel since delbert has an '06 (Gen II) and the Gen I mirrors are different.

Well curiosity got the better of me this afternoon & as it was way too cold to ride I removed the mirror . By taking off the blanking cap from the stem to reveil the pin , I found a couple of old sockets to put one either side of the rivited pin and squeezed it up tighter in the vice . Job done !! We will see how long it holds up as I need to fold them every time I take the bike out to fit down the lane ,,, worth a try though
