phochief Posted December 11, 2008 #1 Posted December 11, 2008 09 RSV.....need to remove the righthand side mirror but afraid to put too much force on the nuts at the brake reservoir for fear of damaging something. It looks like there's three nuts at the bottom of the mirror stem. Can someone tell me which way the nut(s) need to be turned to remove the mirror bracket off the reservoir? Thanks....David

Squeeze Posted December 11, 2008 #3 Posted December 11, 2008 Yamaha has a left handed Thread on the right Mirror Stem on all their Bikes.
KiteSquid Posted December 11, 2008 #4 Posted December 11, 2008 The left hand threaded nuts and bolts are marked by a grove in points of the hex. It kinda looks like two nuts stacked up but with the flats lined up perfectly... Take a close look!!!!!!!

It kinda looks like two nuts stacked up but with the flats lined up perfectly... Take a close look!!!!!!! All left hand thread nuts and bolts are marked this way. Chrysler had left handed lug nuts for a while on their cars and one day while getting tires replaced on my car the guy at the shop didn't know this. Before I could stop him he wrung off three lugs with an impact!
