Motorcycle Forum / General / Yamaha / April 20052005 R1 - Vibrating mirrors
Just got a new R1 and am really enjoying it, it's a great bike. However when I get to around 65 MPH the mirrors start to vibrate. By the time I reach 80 MPH they seem virtually useless as I can see something behind me, but cannot tell what it is, that's how bad the vibration is! Is this normal on the 2004 - 2005 R1 or is there something wrong with my bike? Is there anyway to cure it?

Did u ask the dealer? Maybe you'll get lucky and they'll give you a straight answer. That would suck if you were over 100mph and you had a defective unbalanced tire. >>>Just got a new R1 and am really enjoying it, it's a great bike. >>> [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > a straight answer.

Just annoying about the mirrors. Will ask the dealer when it goes in for it's first service. I once owned a Suzuki GS500 twin. One mirror vibrated something awful. Turns out it was loose glass. It wasn't going to fall out but it drove me nuts. I got a new one under warranty and it did the same. Bike shop didn't want to replace it until I mentioned Consumer Affairs. > Just got a new R1 and am really enjoying it, it's a great bike. > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > IainP My 05 R1 does not display this problem. Mention it to your dealer at next service... Bob >I once owned a Suzuki GS500 twin. One mirror vibrated something awful. >Turns out it was loose glass.
