Hi,

My right mirror is very lose, so lose that a gust of wind blows it towards me so I can not see behind me using the mirror.

How the hell do I tighten it up, it's on a YBR 125

Get your tools out and have a play about. Can't be that hard to figure out surely?

Most* Yamahas have a reverse thread on the right-hand mirror. It should be lefty-tighty for that one Thumbs Up

* based on the two I've owned. One of which was a YBR.

There are far more mechanical jobs, be prepared.

Say you end up loosening it as opposed to tightening the worse that can happen is the whole thing comes out and you just thread it back in and tighten it up, lesson learnt.

Takes less time to do than attempting to write a response to this post would.

Stop thinking about it and get it done Rolling Eyes Thumbs Up

Unless it's a left handed thread which right hand mirrors sometimes have.
