Did you know the stock mirrors fold in/out?

[outasight20]

I just accidentally found about this very cool feature. The stock mirrors fold towards the bike as well as away from the bike and snap back into place nicely.

I feel stupid for never noticing! Did anyone else miss this detail?

Yup, I 1st found that out on my gen 1 FZ1 I got last year. I also know at least the 09 ZX6R my friend has has that too

Most car mirrors do this too. It's good for tight parking.

And for softly setting the bike on it's side in your driveway.

I was pleased to discover this feature...

Yup I fold them in every August when I have to put my bike up and put the cover on it.

I never knew the FZ6 mirrors did that. Now I do.

Previous owner told me about them.

Fold back for tight situations/storage, fold forward for cleaning the mirrors or seeing if you have anything stuck in your teeth.

I have to admit that I didn't know they folded until I had the bike a few months and dropped it while backing into a parking space at work at 0mph and the mirror bent back when it lightly contacted the ground.

They may fold but- FUGLY MIRRORS do that ! :rockon:

 

[motojoe122]

I found this out at my old house...measured both door jams into the house, picked the widest one and pushed the bike thru it only to hit the left mirror. Thats when I found out it folded back:BLAA:

 

[shamrocker]

I only learned about the mirrors when I dropped the bike for the first time, at the gas station. I thought the mirror was broken, then.....oh! Well look at that.

 

[phranK2k11]

I took advantage of the fact that they folded for the first few weeks I owned her.

You have to put your bike away in August?!?! You need to move to a better place, I ride year-round as long as the streets are dry!

I've owned my '07 since '07 and just tried bending the mirrors back/forward; Kewl! :thumbup: The things we learn...
