Setup and Installation
The Puig HYPERNAKED mirror is designed for handlebar-end mounting. Ensure your motorcycle's handlebar is compatible with this type of mirror attachment.
- Preparation: Ensure the motorcycle is stable on its stand. Turn off the engine. Gather necessary tools (e.g., Allen wrenches, torque wrench).
- Remove Existing Mirror (if applicable): Carefully remove any existing left-side mirror from the handlebar. Keep all original parts in case you need to reinstall them.
- Handlebar End Preparation: If your handlebar has an existing bar-end weight or plug, remove it. The Puig mirror typically mounts directly into the hollow end of the handlebar or uses an adapter for solid handlebars.
- Mirror Assembly: The mirror arm and head may come partially assembled. Ensure all pivot points are finger-tight but not fully torqued down yet.
- Mounting the Mirror: Insert the mirror's mounting mechanism into the left handlebar end. Depending on the specific mounting hardware provided, this may involve an expansion sleeve or a direct bolt-in. Tighten the mounting bolt gradually until the mirror is securely seated. Do not overtighten.
- Initial Adjustment: Loosely adjust the mirror arm and head to a preliminary position that allows for a clear rear view.
- Final Tightening: Once the mirror is in a satisfactory position, carefully tighten all pivot bolts on the mirror arm and head. Ensure they are firm enough to hold the mirror in place during riding but allow for minor adjustments if needed. Refer to the included instruction sheet for specific torque specifications if provided.

Operation and Adjustment
The Puig HYPERNAKED mirror offers multiple points of adjustment to optimize your rear view.
- Arm Angle Adjustment: The mirror arm can be pivoted at its base where it connects to the handlebar mount. Loosen the bolt at this pivot point, adjust the arm to the desired angle, and then re-tighten securely.
- Mirror Head Angle Adjustment: The mirror head itself can be tilted and rotated relative to the arm. Loosen the bolt connecting the mirror head to the arm, position the mirror for optimal rear visibility, and then tighten the bolt firmly.
- Field of View: While riding, ensure the mirror provides a clear and wide view of the road behind you. Adjust as necessary.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Puig mirror.
- Cleaning: Clean the mirror glass and housing with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the anodized finish or mirror surface.
- Inspection: Periodically check all bolts and pivot points for tightness. Vibrations from riding can cause fasteners to loosen over time. Re-tighten any loose bolts to prevent mirror movement or detachment.
- Anodized Finish: The mirror features an anodized finish for durability and aesthetics. To maintain its appearance, avoid scratching or abrasive contact.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Mirror vibrates excessively | Loose mounting bolts or pivot points. | Check and tighten all mounting and adjustment bolts. Ensure the mirror is securely seated in the handlebar end. |
| Mirror does not hold position | Pivot bolts are not tight enough. | Tighten the bolts at the mirror arm and head pivot points until the mirror holds its position firmly. |
| Poor rear visibility | Incorrect mirror angle or position. | Adjust the mirror arm and head angles to achieve optimal rear view. Ensure no part of your body or motorcycle obstructs the view. |
| Mirror feels loose in handlebar | Improper handlebar end mounting. | Re-check the installation steps for handlebar mounting. Ensure the expansion mechanism (if applicable) is fully engaged and tightened. |
| Scratches on anodized finish | Abrasive cleaning materials or impact. | Use only soft cloths and mild cleaners. Avoid contact with sharp objects. Scratches on anodized surfaces are typically permanent. |
