Folding Mirrors 2014 RT


Skywagon

Recommended Posts

I am having a bit of an issue with my left hand mirror.  It's never been hit, never fallen over, or any damage.  Due to tight parking in the garage I fold in the mirrors on the bike.  Recently the left mirror won't stay folded it pops right back to riding position.  I took the cover off and see it has a spring and bolt that could be tightened.  I tightened it a bit but no change in results.  Any suggestions?

After some more fiddling around with it I figured it out.  Instead of tightening the nut over the spring...loosening it solved the problem. I guess it tightened up after many times of folding it in. Dann...not sure but on all my BMW bikes when I fold them in they stay put.  This one did too until recently.  Now it does again.

Yes is designed to fold in in case you hit something.  I end up in adding a small steel cable to the mirror in case it falls off, it will stays with the bike.
