Arrrrrrrggggghhhhhhh!!!!

I've just spent half an hour trying to remove the visors off my helmets and was starting to get a bit wound up so decided to have a look for a demo on youtube, i found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YTHFTwwark

...now I'm REALLY f*cked off off because it looks simple and I still can't get them off!!!!! :confused:

[Specialone]

Arai by any chance ?

[bluebird]

Yeah, both of them.....i'm starting to break into a sweat now, am i really that thick?!?!?!

[ravingdavis]

I know your pain... I snapped off sidepods on my first Arai. I can swap the visor out instantly now.

Lift the visor all the way up, then face the helmet away from you and put your fingers under the two little grey levers that appear from the sidepods. Lift both up until you hear a 'click' from both sides, then slide the visor out with upwards movement.

Then enjoy the more difficult task of getting the visor back on :)

[Bluefish]

lol, the guy does it in 3-5 seconds without even looking, and back to front :D

[skeetly]

Haven't all Arai owners been here :)
I can do mine easily now but it's a bit scary to start with.
Just follow the video and you'll be fine :)

[Specialone]

Yep I've been there myself, pretty easy now :)

[bluebird]

YES YES YES........That feels sooo good!!

errrr, how do they go back in :o/

[hardhat_harry]

Was gonna say its the easy part getting the visor out.

Putting back in that will make you sweat.

The simple solution is buy a AGV :0

My Shark has a damn good system, can change visors without taking my helmet off. No mirrors either.

Hey Specialone, in your 'France thread' you mentioned that no ar5es would be allowed, how do numpties fair?? :riding:

[yorkie_chris]

What was that, trying to fit dark visor to avoid the evening glare only to find it dark by the time you finished?

LoL, actually it was to fit an antifog insert which will come in handy cos there's so much sweat pumping out of me even the windows have steamed up ;)

did you remember to take your mittens off befor trying to take the visor off, or was it the straight jacket that was slowing you down ;)

[philbut]

can swap my arai visor with the lid still on my head. They do get easier with age. My new quantum is stiffer than my old RX7. It is a PITA to be honest, but the visors do work extremely well when fitted, so i'll forgive them.

[Viney]

My Shark has a damn good system, can change visors without taking my helmet off. No mirrors either.I can do this on my Arai now. I feel your pain BB, as i was like you when i went from Shoei to Arai. Now i don't think anything of it.

[L3nny]

I had the same problem with my Arai, when it was new the pinlock wasn't fitted so I had to take the visor to fit it. Took over an hour to put it back on, can change the visor in less than a minute now.

You have to use quite a lot of force and on a brand new £300+ helmet that's damn scary.

It's a much better system than my old X-Lite, that was easy to do but also very easy to break the visor, which i did twice.
