The side mirrors for my kawasaki versys has had repeated failures. I've had to try to repair and then replace the mirrors multiple times. The mirror can not be tightened and hat speeds > 30mph the wind pushes the mirror all the way in making it inoperable. I've tired to have repair shops fix but they said it is impossible.

Equipment · at 5,500 miles · reported Jul 13, 2011
Rear view mirrors loosen during ride, even after tightening, which makes it unsafe to see behind. I have tightened the bolts several times and looked online for advice. Apparently this is a common problem with this vehicle and believe the manufacturer should repair. Although I have one date below, it continues to be a problem.
