So far the Panigale brought me nothing but joy. I have already seen many problems on this forum that I'm so glad my 1199 is in good shape :D or so I thought :(...

Since yesterday I noticed my left mirror was waving about when I was riding on less then perfect roads. It shakes up and down for about 1-2 cm. The problem is that it can move too much and is to loose. (in the green circle ).

It's not the baseplate with the 2 screws that is loose it's the main arm of the mirror on the baseplates pivotpoint. Does anyone else have this problem?

When I pull the mirrors ( so mirror + bracket ) in a forward facing position the bracket is locked firmly and does not move. When I try to pull the mirrors in a backwards facing position the brackets touch the windscreen. Can someone tell me if this is the case on a standard windscreen too? I have the bigger one.
 
I also have the taller screen and was told by my dealer that I could not fold the mirrors back as it will catch the screen. You can move them a little to bring them inline with the handle bars but after tht they will touch and mark the screen. Not a problem for me as I have ample space in my garage.

It doesn't catch on the standard screen.
 
Thanks Kam!

I normally never fold the mirrors because I have plenty of room too. While tinkering with the mirror I just noticed that I could not fold them backwards because it would damage the screen. When I transport the bike on a trailer I can just as well fold the mirrors forwards to save space so I guess this won't pose a problem in the future.
