Tiggie Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Left hand pedal on a push bike. Guess who didn't know this as a 15 year old putting together his new bike? Quote
geofferz Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Left hand thread on mt10 right mirror stem Quote
fastbob Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Left hand thread on mt10 right mirror stem Oh yes , of course, I think most Yamahas have a left hand thread on the right mirror. Makes sense really . Quote
Mickly Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Left hand thread on mt10 right mirror stem Oh yes , of course, I think most Yamahas have a left hand thread on the right mirror. Makes sense really . I had a Hinckley Bonneville as a courtesy bike - the right hand mirror acted as a kind of speed limiter, as soon as I reached 80mph ( on a closed road m’lord ) it started unwinding it’s self making it useless, could have done with a LH thread.

gogs01 Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Sorry to appear thick, but why would wind pressure loosen the thread on the right mirror ? Isn't that trying to tighten the thread ? Whereas the left mirror, if being pushed backwards would be loosening ..... ?Or am I missing something ??I do remember having a Yamaha with a self-loosening mirror and I know one of the threads was left hand, but I can't remember which was which .....

Good point, maybe it did have a LH thread after all, in which case it’s a rubbish idea. Quote

We got it the wrong way round, it's left hand mirrors that have left hand threads on Yamahas. Quote
JRH Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Name that left-hand thread in one.......?Left hand pedal on a push bike. So, possibly by extension, also on an SS50 or FS1E? Not forgetting the Punch Maxi. Oh god. Or this offeringRover imperial. At the Gaydon museum. Quote
Guest Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Ah, yes, the days of "light pedal assistance".....bless. Who remembers the Raleigh RMs and the "Wisp" ? Quote
