benb Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Managed to drop my brand new YBR today practising U-turns! Only damage is that the RH mirror unit (ie from the hbar upwards) seems to have been knocked 90 degrees anti-clockwise, though it all screws in nice and tight and doesn't look damaged...have taken the unit off and re-attached it several times but it always ends up in the same place. I'm a mechanical newb but would like to fix this myself, rather than head back to the dealer so soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benb Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 Still no luck getting the mirror sorted...maybe different fittings between the YBR125 and the YBR125 custom? Can't find any info in the manual on sorting this, or how to adjust the mirror unit. The unit screws in nice and tight, but is 90 degrees off where it should be.
