    Hello ,
    I have a new street triple R. It has done 2000m and I take it steady.

    However I get vibration at speed of 65mph + through the left part of the handle bar that causes mirror to become useless due to its image being distorted by the vibration. It’s uncomfortable too. However the right grip and mirror is stable.

    any ideas please ?

    Time to get the torque wrench out. Being only the left side I’d start up top at your mirrors, bar clamp, triples, axle pinch bolts, then all your engine mounting bolts. If going over the bike with a torque wrench doesn’t solve it, try getting your wheels balanced. Good luck to ya!

    Welcome to the family. Yes i think i would look at the tyres and balance weights. And make sure it is torqued correctly.

    Hi Oliver and a warm welcome to the forum, there is a plastic ring that sits in the bar end and locates on a peg, if the bar is knocked (either in the workshop or at home, then the ring can easily crack and leads to a distorted mirror image, the other issue with some of the 765 mirrors is the threaded pivot on the actual mirror, the nut that holds the mirror itself may be tight, however the pivot (threaded ball) still has some play, hence the distortion, some vibration occurs no matter what model Street Triple 765 you have, however this should not affect the mirror's image. I would ring your dealer and return the machine for a replacement mirror. Mine was changed under warranty and has been trouble free since. Once out of warranty the mirror is only sold as a unit, even though the stem and mirror are separate, the mirror is £75 and the plastic ring is another £20. There are also 2 different diameter bars, the mirrors fit both however the plastic ring will not.

    Hi Oliver let the forum know how you get on, I guess your dealer is Destination Triumph, they have a good reputation so you should have no issues.
