When I previously rode a motorcycle and encountered a loose rearview mirror, it was usually due to the vibration causing the mounting screws to loosen. Just take a hex key or socket wrench and gently tighten the base screws. Don't apply too much force to avoid damaging the plastic parts or stripping the threads. After adjustment, test the mirror angle to ensure it covers the road conditions behind the vehicle and avoids blind spots. Usually, try to reduce high-speed riding on uneven roads to lower vibration frequency, and avoid directly spraying the mirror base with a high-pressure water gun when washing the bike to prevent rust and loosening. Many parts on a motorcycle, such as brake levers, are also prone to loosening. Developing a habit of manually checking all screws before riding can save trouble and ensure safety. Checking these small details during each maintenance session can extend the overall lifespan of the bike. After all, the rearview mirror is like a second pair of eyes, and timely tightening can make the ride more reassuring.
