Electric folding mirrors

Help!

The electric folding mirrors on my CTR are stick and not folding, unless I literally rest a finger on them as they fold, I have tried the WD40 that other people have mentioned but still sticking, has anyone else out there had this issue and sorted it? I have just forked out for a service, new wishbone and disks and pads all round so I'm hoping this isn't going to be expensive!

Cheers in advance

I'm sure there is a how to on here, quite simple to do if i remember correctly... pop the wing mirror cover off, unplug old module and plug in new...

If you buy the unit from Honda they are a doddle to replace. If you go down the "fix it yourself route" it is a lot cheaper but nowhere near as simple.
