So far, I've had my 2009 S1k for 19 days and around 1600 miles. Love it. I've had no issues with anything, outside of one. The left mirror.
The first hundred miles or so, I figured it was just loose. It kept turning down to where I could only see the road, and not what was behind me. So I tightened it up, and it held... for a bit... maybe a couple days.
This time, I pull the bolt all the way out, in the hopes of finding some major flaw. No dice. I re-install the mirror, re-tighten and adjust. I'm set.
Or so I thought.
Regardless of how tight I get it, it still seems to turn down and face the road. Now, it's not much... maybe a few degrees of turn... but it's enough that I can't adjust it out using only the mirror. And it always seems to stop at the same place. It doesn't slide all the way down so that the mirror is hanging upside-down.
This is very frustrating, as the right mirror hasn't moved a bit since I rolled out of the shop with the bike.
My question is, do I take the bike back under "warranty", and have them fix the mirror correctly? Or do I just try and fix it myself with glue and bobby pins?
I'm normally not anal about stuff like this. I usually just fix it myself and get on with life, as long as it's not a serious safety issue, or a mechanical issue with the bike. But my thinking is... I just bought a several thousand dollar machine that's not just some cookie-cutter bike... I shouldn't be having fitiment/adjustment issues with the mirror.
