IMPORTANT INFOR FOR ALL YOU AGV LIDS OWNERS OUT THERE.

sorry, but i had to get your attention about this.

I recently bought the Hot Rod for the g/f. She moaned about the visor not staying up etc. So i tried it on a ride and was amazed at how bad it was. Took it back to HG where i bought it and checked the rest of the display while the guys tried fixing it. All the lids had the same faulty mechanism in the side pods bit, on the meeting of ratchet and teeth.

They called AGV for me who went on to tell them. "THIS IS AN ISSUE WE ARE AWARE OF, PLEASE APOLOGISE TO THE CUSTOMER AND WE WILL SEND HIM NEW SIDE POD PARTS FOR THE LID"

The thing that got me.... what if my g/f was just a new rider who was buying that as her first lid? She would have thought "thats what you get for about £100, guess i better spend more if i want decent gear"

New bits arrived and i replaced the parts in less than 10mins. Everything felt much better and the lids is now quieter than it was before too.

I asked AGV why they didnt recall all the lids they knew suffered from this problem and they just said they didnt feel it was neccesary to do that.

Get in touch with AGV directly if you can and moan like hell about it.
They really should not have let this stuff out of their factory like this. Either that or they guy who does the quality control had been smoking his breakfast that day!
