Hi all. I just got home most excited from the 50 mile ride back from purchasing my first bike, an '07 Yamaha YBR 125. The right mirror is fine, but when I bought the bike the guy said he had left it outside of college and when he came back to it the left mirror was limp on it's stalk. I don't think it's been dropped as there are no marks on the mirror itself, so he was either being straight with me or it's just corroded.
I took the rubber sleeve off the joint and the ball part of the joint has come away from the socket part, and it's a brownish rust colour inside. Is there any way to pull it apart and replace and worn parts inside the stalk (such as some sort of spring I'm guessing) or should I just cough up for a used replacement?
Any thoughts would be heartily welcome
Cheers, Dom
