4 | Installation
4.1 | Preparation
First of all, choose a well-lit place and use a suitable stand to make sure there is no
risk of your motorcycle toppling over. Then remove the existing mirrors. Remember
to check whether one of them has a left-hand thread (e.g. the right mirror on Yamaha
bikes). Left-hand threads are generally identified by a notch on the hexagon of the nut.
Now you need to check the thread of the old mirrors and choose the correct size of
thread adapter from those supplied with the gazzini Mirror. Screw the adapter into
the base of the mirror. Motorcycles over 125 cc from other Japanese manufacturers
generally have a thread with a diameter of 10 mm and a pitch of 1.25 (written:
M10x1.25). Newer BMWs with short threads tend to have a thread diameter of
10 mm, but a pitch of 1.5 mm. Suitable gazzini Mirror Adapters for these versions
are included.
4.2 | Attaching the mirror
Use a hexagon key (size 4) to securely tighten the thread adapter in the mirror. Then
screw the base of the mirror, with the attached thread adapter, into the mirror mount
on the brake/clutch lever. Roughly align the mirror to suit your riding position and
tighten it using the lock nut (size 16 wrench). Depending on the design of the mirror
joint, it may be possible to adjust the height of the mirror stem. Adjust the mirror head
at the ball joint so that you have an optimal view of the following traffic when you're
sitting on your bike. You then need to fully tighten the mirror stem at the joint (size 4
hexagon key).
5 | Storage
Until it is installed, the gazzini Mirror should be kept in its original packaging and
stored in a place that is protected against weather and moisture.
6 | Cleaning and care
Use warm soapy water or motorcycle cleaner and a soft cloth to clean the gazzini
Mirror. Never use cleaners which may corrode aluminium. Finally, apply motorcycle
wax to seal the surface of the mirror and protect it against the weather. Take care not
to get any wax on the mirror lens or plastic parts.
7 | Warranty
This product comes with the statutory two-year warranty. The warranty period begins
on the date of purchase. It does not cover normal wear and tear, use for anything
other than the intended purpose, or damage caused by an accident, tampering or
