Fulltilt Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Anyone else with this helmet that has managed to ride around with it cracked open just a little?The visor is on a ratchet so i don't have too much control on how much it is cracked open by, if that makes sense. But if i open it as little as possible i just get wind straight into my eyes. Seems i can only open all the way up or close fully. Annoying!

Joeman Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 tried moving the little lever on the left?Page 4... "Preset Lever"http://www.shoei-helmets.com/support/manuals/QWEST.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulltilt Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 I have played around with that, it does push the visor forward a little, but not enough to get much air through, plus the ratchet mechanism is still engaged regardless of whether its 'locked' or not.Maybe ill have another play around with it.

Joeman Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 shoeis are normally very good..basically slam the visor closed, then pull the lever down to open it up a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamBerryKing Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 why do you want it open that little bit extra? if your fogging up invest in a pinlock. im sure these actually come with a pinlock (mine did i have the same helmet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulltilt Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Fogging isn't the issue, i have a pin lock installed.Its a case of allowing some air into the helmet without my eyes being blasted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fro Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Its a case of allowing some air into the helmet without my eyes being blasted.Can you not open the vents up? If I open all mine (Shoei something or other) I get a nice steady flow over the old noggin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fq-craigus Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Thats what the vents are there for, cracking the visor isnt ideal as your finding. Unfortunatly its another case of not being able to test a lid before you buy there is always niggles with all lids. If i had the money i would open a bike shop with an air blaster so people can put a lid on and stand it a jet of air simulating 30mph or 60mph, i have visions of people travelling far and wide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
