[QUOTE="Rickster, post: 240909, member: 2089"] The fact is that Yamaha factory does not install the mirrors -- either the dealer does it, or the dealer pays someone else to prep (PDI) the motorcycles. The dealer is responsible for properly torquing the fasteners -- and there is a sheet with ALL the fasteners that the dealer is supposed to tighten and check! If the nuts were properly torqued - there would not have been a problem. Nylon locking feature, interference threads, threadlocking adhesive, etc. are not required in this application. All that is required is that the bolt be properly torqued. The point is that there may not be a design issue, but there is certainly an issue with the assembly at the dealership. [/QUOTE]
