If you are used to turning your head to observe the situation behind you, it will not only appear unprofessional, but also pose a hidden danger to your riding safety! Therefore, how to adjust the rearview mirror is a compulsory course for every motorcycle enthusiast. Today, the editor will share with you some tips on how to properly adjust the rearview mirror of a motorcycle!
We often see on the street that some motorcycle enthusiasts' motorcycles do not even have rearview mirrors, especially the ghost fire youth! They think that their vehicles are stunt vehicles and do not need to install rearview mirrors! In order to reflect their "uniqueness", however, it is often these people who do not like to observe the situation behind them and ride recklessly without any scruples! Our motorcycle enthusiasts must not learn from them! Because the rearview mirror is a component that can directly affect our riding safety!
Back to the point! So, how to adjust the left and right rearview mirrors of a motorcycle correctly? In fact, there is no specific requirement for this! The editor's suggestion is: during the adjustment process, you should be able to see behind you on one side, and the rearview mirror on the other side should be able to observe the 3/4 area behind you! Then sit on the car, take the usual riding posture as the standard, and tighten the base link nut after you feel that everything is properly adjusted!
First, loosen the fixing screws of the base. According to our previous requirements, one side can observe the rear; one side can observe 3/4 of the rear range! Don't rush to tighten the screws when the adjustment is almost done. At this time, motorcycle friends should sit on the car and start adjusting according to their usual riding posture until they are satisfied before tightening the nuts!
During the adjustment process, if there is chrome plating or other processing on the screws of your rearview mirror base, be sure to put a layer of paper or cloth between the wrench and the nut, otherwise when you tighten the screws, you will find that the paint surface is already a mess!
Because motorcycles are different from cars, cars have both rearview mirrors on both sides and internal rearview mirrors! But motorcycles only have rearview mirrors on both sides, so no matter how you adjust, there will be blind spots. We can only say that we try our best. Some motorcycle friends stick a small round mirror on the rearview mirror, which is also a good practice!
Therefore, when riding, motorcycle friends must follow the "two shoulders" principle! That is: when adjusting the left and right rearview mirrors, you must be able to see both shoulders to be considered standard!
Due to the large vibration of the motorcycle, the rearview mirror may need to be adjusted after a period of time! If you encounter a blurry rearview mirror due to vibration during riding. It is recommended to put a layer of rubber ring at the connection of the rearview mirror nut to solve the problem!
