MedicalBiker Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 So, despite having a pinlock I still find the top part of the visor is fogging, some of this even appears to be going onto the top rim of the pinlock too. Is there a way to prevent this? It's not just in the rain either, in the dry (but cold) it's also fogging. I've tried riding with the chin visor open but that still seems to result in fogging. Not a huge issue just a small annoyance really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soll Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 when moving or when stationary?if stationary, then just lift the visor a crack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggs Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 The pins are an oval shape which means you can tighten the pinlock. I had an issue with mine fogging over one eye, took it off, tightened up the pins and problem solved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitedevil Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Probably not fitting right, if there is any gap around the seal it wont work properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicalBiker Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 Both when moving and stationary. I didn't know about being able to tighten the pins though, handy tip! Shall try that when I get some spare time this week, just such a shame the Arai visor removal is such a bloody pain in the ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Arai visor removal is a piece of piss the pinlock wont be sealing properly and as said the pins will need adjusting they are on a cam and you use a small screwdriver in the slot on the inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicalBiker Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 Yeah piece of piss poor design Just feels like it's going to snap when I try and put it back in, I hate it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 You will get used to it I had to show an arai rep how to do it properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicalBiker Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 Got it off no issues, the pinlock fits properly, there's no loose bits or bubbles or anything. I think this helmet just maybe doesn't have as great ventilation as my old shark s2000, rode in the rain yesterday to work with all 3 vents open and didn't seem to have any issues, just a cold face Took 13 minutes to get the visor back on the helmet though... THIRTEEN DAMN MINUTES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 the wife has the same helmet and has no issues with fogging! thirteen minutes! you need more practice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicalBiker Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 God knows, knowing my luck it's a dodgy helmet (that just sounds so wrong haha)I'd rather minimise the amount of times i remove satan's spawn of visors. Kept getting one side back in but the other refused, so put that side in first and the original easy one then refused to line up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 if you dont feel like you are going to break it then you are doing it wrong! that is what I was told when I bought my first Arai! once you get the knack its easy kneel on the floor with the helmet facing away from you lift visor pull the prongs up then pull the visor off fitting requires a bit of feel, insert both sides at the same time in the open position move the visor up and down slightly till its in then close it and it will all click in if its popping out you aren't putting it in far enough ooo eeerr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR_W Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 The pins are an oval shape which means you can tighten the pinlock.

Although I still don't know how you got those to line up so easily hahah, if you saw how wobbly I am lining them up and yeah as you say one side pops out. Only because it felt like it wouldn't actually go in any further Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
