How to use motorcycle rearview mirror correctly

Some motorcyclists think that they do not need to adjust the rearview mirror. Because I am faster than the people around and the means of transportation. In order to express this, some people simply remove the rearview mirror or face forward despite being installed. In this way, they express themselves. Perhaps this is indeed feasible in some places, but it is not safe. According to statistics, a large proportion of motorcycle accidents are caused by collisions with vehicles or vehicles coming from behind.
   Therefore, the correct adjustment of the motorcycle rearview mirror plays a very important role in the personal safety of the rider.
Different rearview mirror types have different adjustment methods. At present, the most common motorcycle rearview mirror on motorcycles is fixed by interlocking two nuts. To adjust such a rearview mirror, a suitable wrench is required.
   First, place the rearview mirror in the middle of the end of the mirror arm. In this way, once the position of the mirror arm is determined, the reflector can have the greatest possibility of adjustment.
   Then, loosen the nut with a wrench, leaving a certain gap between the two nuts that lock each other. Please note that if your car is treated with special processes such as chrome plating, please put a layer of paper or a piece of cloth between the wrench and the nut to avoid damaging the surface.
   Now, the rider can get on his motorcycle. It would be great if there is a support or someone can support you. If not, then lean the other side against the wall, and then start to adjust the mirror arm. Until you reach your ideal vision and position.
  A motorcycle is different from a car. In addition to the rearview mirrors on both sides of the car, there is also a middle rearview mirror. If adjusted properly, the driver can see everything behind him completely. However, motorcycles do not have middle rearview mirrors, and even the left and right side rearview mirrors have blind spots even in the so-called best motorcycle rearview mirror positions.
   Therefore, in order to protect their own safety during the ride, the rider must always check his shoulders.
In the process of riding, the rider must fully understand the traffic situation behind him and on the left and right sides. Therefore, our suggestion for adjusting the rearview mirror is: one side can see behind you, and the other side of the rearview mirror can see three-quarters of the area behind you.
   When the confirmation is completed, re-lock the nut.
   But in any case, when changing lanes, pay attention to the "shoulder" inspection.
Some models have reached a certain speed, and the rearview mirror is blurred due to excessive vibration. At this time, you can try to use thick rubber gaskets or professional shock absorption modules to add to the rearview mirror installation position to reduce vibration. Impact.
