Thank you so much for this idea...I have fixed my loose visor of Axor helmet simply by using elastic bands or rubber bands...even it gives more tightness...idea was simply awesome...my message to all peoples that if you didn't find such O rings then use daily usage rubber bands to fix it...
LEGEND!! I have two I90 modulars that have the loose visor problem BUT the big difference between the RPHA and the I90 is that the visor detent is part of the chin guard pivot, so getting a new chin guard to fix the visor problem was going to be very expensive. I used 14mmx2mm Orings and fixed the problem in 5 minutes.
Thanks for the inspiration. I'm in Thailand and didn't know where to buy O rings but found the elastic bands that they use to seal street food bags worked a treat!
Dude, just bought my RPHA 11 pro Joker helmet and went for my first ride and same thing. The visor wouldn't stay open or cracked open. This is genius. Thanks man.
Wow, sorry to hear.. if you can take it back, I would.. your going to be dealing with this issue for as long as you have it and you'll need to carry these o-rings with you all the time because they wear out and break when you least expect it. It's a cool and cheap fix for now but for the amount of money spent on this helmet you shouldn't have to be dealing with this problem. Let's just hope they don't have the same issues with the safety side of the helmet as well.. if you can't get a visor locking system correct, how can I have faith in your safety rating.. Ride safe brother
@@TheChemistDIY I can't take it back. I've been trying to find the right helmet for me for a while now and this one is the only one that fits right and that I like. The only complaint is the stupid visor issue that won't stay 1/4 or 1/2 open. If I exchange it for another of the same model I feel I will just have the same issue. For some reason HJC has this flaw in their helmet? I think I'm actually getting used to it being fully closed all the time now as the helmet has excellent air flow in the chin area. I'll just try the O-ring fix for now. Thanks brotha
Had same issue with my hjc visor also, didn't have much joy with your method, what I found worked 4 me ,was inside your visor is the little plastic pegs that rub against the plastic detents on the mechanism, I put some tiny o rings over these which worked a treat
@@andrewhumphreys293 aww yes, I see it now on my helmet. Helps to have good eyes.. lol. Going to give it a try and see how that works out.. like I said theirs more then one way to do it.. thanks for the input.. to bad we have to go through this crap..
Same issue with the HJC i90 I bought for the Mrs. Other than this issue the helmet is good for the price. Hoping to never have to test the crash-worthiness. I tried the O ring as suggested in the vid and also over the detent peg and over the detent peg seems to be a little tighter. Both help, but neither is as stiff as it should be. Guess I'm spoiled with my Shoei. Thank you both for the ideas.
Greetings Mr James!! Thanks for this Detailed DIY. I have watched your other videos too Nd were helpful to mine. I have a question but not related on this recent post. I hope you don’t mind. Have you ever experienced your motorcycle will stop/stall once you shift to 1st gear from full stop ? What is your diagnosis and fix if yes Sir Thank you so much
What up brother, Thanks for sticking around and going through my videos. So let's' see, First is your idle set at 1300 rpms (When hot), I've found that the Gixer runs best at 1300 and not 1200 as the service manual will tell you. That said have you put the bike in dealer and see if your TPS indicator is dead center (-C00). Second - I know this is common sense but I have to be thorough.. When was the last time you did a tune up.. and cleaned that air filter.. the engine needs air and as soon as you starve it.. a lot of funky ish happens. Since your topic has to do with deceleration issues, when was the last time you checked and cleaned the Pair System. I have a video on that here .. th-cam.com/video/YFCiPj1yNiQ/w-d-xo.html Good way to tell this system is dirty is if your getting a lot of exhaust popping on decel. While not covered in the video there is also a filter on the casing, just under gas tank with a hose that leads up to the air box (Big silver Square box looking thing). Most usually swap out for a normal looking filter for better airflow. I generally go this route first if it just started happening or happens intermittent. Here you want to make sure were venting the exhaust gas fast and it not choking out the engine. plus they're real simple things to look for and fix. This is your EVAP system While on the topic of breathing, check and make sure all of your air hoses are good.. no cracks and properly sealed. not sure if your familiar with the carb cleaner trick but I'll explain briefly. Spray some carb clean on your air lines and end entry points, see if the bike idle bogs down.. if it does then your have an air leak on that line and need to replace it.. also spray around the boots of your stacks (with air box on).. this will let you know if you have leak in this area for sure...over time the boots will degrade and crack causing air to get in where its not suppose to. th-cam.com/video/ZgZVawt02Io/w-d-xo.html Hope that helps.. keep me posted
thank you. I'm going to try this. I race karts and it's very dangerous when I'm following someone and my visor goes up and I can see pebbles get flung in my direction at over 110 km/h
Don't thank me yet..lol.. the O-rings only last about a week or so and then break. You'll be doing this until your helmet reaches EOL.. sucks but it is what it is..
Thank you! I'm going to an event next week and the new mechanism for my helmet was on backorder till the end of the month! I'm ordering these rings on Amazon and i'll have them tomorrow!
Thank you for this!!!! you're a genius!!! I dropped my Bilmola helmet and the visors not doing the normal thing. and there's no available spareparts like my helmet. You save my 1st ever helmet 😭
Thank you sir. I never would have thought to do this. My previous helmet was 7 years old and not HJC but got a new bike so new helmet. Helmet is barely a year old. Wont get this brand again. Last helmet lasted 7 years with zero problems and HJC barely lasts a year.
Good to know that I'm not the only RPHA70 owner with this problem. Thanks for the ingenious solution which will hopefully fix the issue with my brand new helmet. O-rings ordered! I contacted HJC Europe and they said go back to the dealer or distributor. Life is too short....and I'm off to Morocco soon 🏍
Woah it works, i used some rubber hair tie for a while because i don't have o ring, i will observe when it can last hehe! It’s very helpful and can save a lot of money! Kudos!
Still having the same problems with hjc. I went to a store today to look at and try on the aphra 11, C70 and I70. As I wanted to buy one, I have made several visits to decide. When I realized the ratchet part was basically smooth on several of them allowing no fixed locking at the various levels. I looked at about 10 helmets and almost half had the loose visor problem. I told them at the store about my decision not to purchase because it shows poor quality control. I researched on Google when I arrived home, found this post and others. Some going back to 2010. So,14 yrs later and still happening ?
@@daryldaryl913 I don't think HJC cares to get rid of this problem, It requires trashing the current tooling and a complete update to the CAD Model in order to produce the correct parts. Why when you continue scamming unsuspecting customers until the next iteration...
Sorry brother, I do not but this fix should work on pretty much any helmet that has a visor. Its just a matter of adding friction to slow the movement while tightening up the slop.
Whatever gets the job done brother, lol. Let's see how long they last. I know with O-rings they tend to wear out in about two weeks but this is contingent on how much you ride and flip the visor up/down. Good Luck!
Take a small circle of foam, glue it to either the helmet or the visor between the 2 near the rear of the shield. Adds a touch of friction & works perfect.
I oringed my Arai XD3. Loooking at a KLIM KRIOS PRO and it does not seem to have space for anything. It sucks because it is a sweet helmet. But visor too flopply
If so then that's a first, sorry brother. All that really needs to be done is provide some type of drag from the visor to the helmet body where it rotates. You could even use hot glue to add a rubber bump that provides friction between the two.
Doesn't work on Schuberth C5. Well, it does tighten the detents but if you move it all the way up it doesn't stop at the top. Just keeps going and comes off. Tried different sizes to no avail....😟
Hello friend. I bought one rpha 70,same problem from day one. I regret not choosing shoei gt air 2. I will try to put a oring in the little circle plastic tha slides on the detents and inform you about. Also I encourage you to add to your title "avoid hjc". Also my wifes i90 hjc does the same thing. I will not choose hjc again.they cannot design proper visor mechanism. How can we trust them our safety....maybe there are bad designs in helmets builtment too....
Are you sure it's the gasket around the visor window.. it could be that the plexiglass visor is warped not causing a tight seal allowing wind and water to leak in... #Just a thought. Only way to find out is to purchase a replacement visor... If it is the seal then I would see if you can purchase a replacement from HJC or buy some rubber pich molding from your local automotive or home goods store.
@@robertlynn2720 carefull now, you dont want Schubert charging there customers and extra $250 for that rubber band.. lol. Imagine that, cracking open the box and taped to the visor is a rubber band and set of instructions on how to apply it.. haha
Im just thinking this is HJC common problem with all helmets, how do they get away with it? How do you guys spent "500$" for a premium helmet that cant do the most basic thing from factory? So many versions or generations with the same problem how is that possible? Why dont they change the visor system?
Such a bummer to put on your new helmet, go for a ride and this start to happen. At that point your assed out because you've already road with it and know the manufacturer is going to give you shit about Returns.. so you bite the bullet and wait for the parts to fix which pushes you out past the return policy window, now only having to deal with the manufacturer warranty.. and then they don't come through.
My wife's rpha11 has that problem straight out of the box. Sent back to hjc came back as fixed, nope. Hjc knows this is a known problem but won't fix it. She bought a Scorpion carbon instead. Will never buy another hjc
Yup, same here.. HJC never again. At least own up to it and give the consumer a fix or a refund. It's such an ew asy fix too.. but they would rather play it off like there is no issue...
HJC helmets are basically shit, regardless which model u choose, I landed an as new RPHA11, got exact same issue, sloppy visor & crappy detents, the truth is the post on the visor is way fatter than the detent grooves on the visor side mount plates, hence it's sloppy as FooK, glad I'd saved a good 50% on the RRP by buying a mint used lid, yes it's a nice looking & very lightweight lid, but that's about as good as it gets, sizing is off too, u need to go up 2 sizes in an RPHA11, it's clear HJC can't measure a human head, the lower detents feel non existant, visor just flops down with a nod of the head, I removed the side pods assemblies & filed the detents deeper with a small round file, made virtually difference, it's just a poor designed unit that can't be improved by filing, I tried several sizes of O"ring on the visor pivot post, not made a great deal of difference, but it's defo better than no O"rings, I'll see if I can come up with a better solution.👍
I would have to agree with you bro. For the amount of money you pay for a supposedly quality helmet 🪖 you shouldn't have to deal with shit like this and considering the length of time your stuck with a helmet ,5-7 years, that's a long time to be dealing with an issue. I've had cheaper, no brand name helmets come right out the box in perfect working condition and outlive there use. I was really expecting more from HJC.. especially at a $400 price point. I did a ton of research on this helmet before buying and I found no complaints on the internet about this helmet.. at least now my viewers will know and will have the option to move forward or move on..
@@TheChemistDIY Yeah haha I was really surprised to see it was hjc to be honest but here I the UK the hjc hemlts always score around 3 out of 5 in the UK govt sharp testing which isnt terrible but cheaper helmets score 4/5 sometimes I was actually gonna buy a Rpha 70 in balis blue to match my nre cbr 1100xx..I was browsing ur vids and was surprised to see it's a hjc! Definitely not buying them lol
In my search to find a helmet with built in speaker pods so I could fabricat a high end audio system I only came across a handful of helmets that appealed to me. The grandal was the sure winner because of the paint scheme which I was planning to wrap over the red with blue mirror vinyl (still am). The price point and the reputation of HJC was is what truly got me.. can't complain much about the rest of the helmet.. but it was definitely a downer to see. Hopefully by now they worked out the kinks.. but moving forward this will definitely make me think twice about buying anything HJC.
