Blurry and Crystal Clear Mirrors
I noticed on the highway, the right mirror is super steady and the reflection crystal clear while the left mirror vibrates so much that it is pretty much useless. Is everyone's mirrors the same way or is it just mine?
Interestingly enough, on my horizontally opposed twin BMW, the above symptoms means that the cylinders are out of sync and needs to be synchronized. But the KLX is a thumper...[&:]

Afrika makes anti-vibration mirror mounts. I have them on both kawai's. The also they let the mirrors flex if/and/or when you drop the bike. Just can't find a LINK right now.

Hey those of you with mirror vibration, what tires are you running? Maybe causing it?

I only have about 750 miles on my bike so I still have the stock 603s. I can't believe how fast that thing is wearing out though....

Sorry to go from mirrors to tires but.I didnt like the stock 603s,They do seem to be wearing quick when going to town and back and in the sandy,rocky,asphalt,"off road" dirt i feel inadaquet traction.I hopefully made a good choice and went with some kendas from a previous topic in here.Anybodys mirrors bothered by those kendas?

I installed Kenda 270s and have been riding them for a few weeks now. My mirrors were and still are blurry. I wonder if the bar has anything to do with it? I seem to recall my mirrors were nice and clear at one point. Then they got blurry at some point later. I can't remember if it happened when I upgraded my bar from the stock steel one to the Renthal, but it is possible. I know it wasn't the move to the Kenda 270s because they've been that way since before I replaced the tires.
