Broken R6 Mirror

A few days ago, I had the most unfortunate experience of breaking my R6's left mirror. No, I did not crash into anything. I broke my mirror, while parked, with my left hand. How did that happen? Beats me haha. I did my usual routine of folding in the mirrors after I parked the bike. I make it a habit to always fold my mirrors in when parked, you never know if the bugger who parked beside you just knocks the mirror and rides off.

These should be all the parts of the R6's mirror, or at least all that I could find on the ground.

The small round solid piece at the top right of the photo is the one that broke away from the mirror. The piece on the bottom right is the one that is attached to the bike's head cowl. The washers are supposed to be stacked between the bottom right piece and that round piece. In this order from top to bottom, mirror, bottom right piece, washers, round piece. Sadly, there is no way to fix it back, unless you have some super strong glue but then you would lose its folding feature.

I rode to HKL the same day and got it replaced. Was there at 9.30am and it arrived at 12.30pm. Got the original Yamaha R6 left mirror for SGD$95, ouch! I know it's the original because it has the same part number as my right mirror.

Still pretty expensive for a mirror. Word of advice, the next time you are folding in your bike's mirror, use 1 hand to support the base of the mirror and the other hand to fold it. Don't yank it like I did. That's all for this post. Cheers and ride safe!
