2008 kawasaki versys motorcycle mirrors come loose and spin while underway. Occurs randomly after re-alignment and tightening internal and external nuts.this is a major safety concern when riding this motorcycle and the manufacturer/dealer should replace the existing mirrors with ones that do not come loose.
The mirrors on my 2008 kawasaki versys motorcycle (bought in september, now with about 325 miles on it) will not stay as set: as i drive they loosen and flop around so that i have no rearward vision, unless i hold the mirror with my hand, which i don't believe is safe.i reported this to my dealer, and they applied for a warranty fix, but told me that kawasaki has refused a warranty fix.on an internet forum for the versys motorcycle, many others have reported the same problem, and many have bought other mirrors to fix what kawasaki will not!
The problem:left mirror on the kawasaki versys motorcycle will not hold its position.frequency:this is an ongoing problem.it effects my motorcycle about every 4 rides.from what i have read this is a normal frequency of occurrence.this issue renders the mirror useless and a major distraction. Why:due to the location of the mirror on the bike and the vibration of the motor on the motorcycle (the vibration is minor).this vibration causes the mount for the mirror to loosen and then the wind hitting the mirror causes the mirror to rotate inward toward the rider.this rotation renders the mirror useless causing a dangerous situation by causing the mirror to be useless to the rider impairing their awareness of there surrounding and a direct distraction to the rider as they try to solve the situation while riding.solution:reverse thread the mount for the mirror.this will cause the mirror to tighten itself due to the vibration and wind.besides gluing the piece in place there is no real solution that the owner on the product can due without replacing with and after market unit.
I have a 2008 kawasaki versys and the mirrors move around,they will not stay at a fixed point. I think it is a safety issue nd would like kawasaki to fix this problem.
