AGV visor problem

Hi all,

last year I have bought this AGV helmet hoping I would get the bike around the same time, but lack of funds have prevented me of doing so. So I stored the helmet In the spare room waiting to get the bike. On friday I went to get the my first bike (will post pics soon) and it was the first time I wore the helmet on the bike. Everything seemed to be fine but the visor seems to have a patch where the inside is bubbling. I have never seen anything like this before on the helmet, is this normal or should I replace the visor (seems bit silly considering this is the first time i wore the helmet) it does not affect the view from the inside of helmet.

Thanks

It had no problem with fogging but still had a whistle over 60mph :( To make it worse when it rained water came down the inside of the visor! Just returned it today and I am going to wait for the new shark range to come in. I would bring it back to the shop and explain your story. At the least they should give you a good deal on a new visor.

I've been looking for the receipt, can't find it. I bought the helmet in peterborough last year on the bike show. I think the company was from london but will have to have a look. I tried to clear the coating and now it keeps on fogging up. I guess I'll have to get the new visor like you said, thanks for the advice tho... :(

Re: AVG visor problem

THe whistling is actually a poor fitting visor....if you look closely youll see a slightly flush fit. Need to loosen the side panel's push the visor down right and tighten again. ( very tricky to do with the visor on btw)

Would agv not have done this adjustment after sending it back to them instead of replacing it? :confused:

Re: AVG visor problem

Im going to be guessing no....but have a look at the visor seating against the rubber seal around the edge.
