Few more Q's...

[...]

Hello again guys and girls, once again I'm in need of advice on a few things, I'd appreciate any advice you can give me.

1) How do I prevent my helmet misting? I've got a Caberg Trip and all it seems to do now is fog up as soon as I put it on.

2) After 2 weeks of commuting, my visor has scratches on it. Can I repair these or should I buy a new visor?

3) I'm coming up for my 600 mile service, is this really just a glorified oil change, and how much can I expect it to cost(ish)?

4) Best product for protecting chrome elements of a bike?

I know I've asked a lot, but I figure it's better than 4 threads... Any help will be duly noted and given +1 karma

Ive got the Caberg Trip and don't really have problems with misting. Sometimes the left hand side fogs up but i dont know why its only that side. Only when im at a standstill though, usually just flip it up a notch when started moving and it sorts it out.

You can get some anti fog sprays, but im afraid i can't tell you how well they work.

1 - With the visor - the easy thing to do is leave it open a little when you're at a standstill or moving slowly. Once you're away at a reasonable speed, then you shouldn't have any problem with it fully closed.

2 - The surface of visors get faintly scratched easily with debris, bugs and what not. It's only worth replacing your visor if the scratches impare your vision or they're so irritating as to be distracting. A good clean and polish should mask most surface scratches.

3 - Get it serviced by the dealer - it's well worth making sure that everything is working to specification on a new bike, and having that stamp in your service manual is valuable if/when you come to selling the bike on. I'd have thought they'd throw the first service in with the purchase on a new bike too. If not, the cost very much depends on the bike, but you're probably looking at around £80-150.

4 - If it's already dirty, Autosol works brilliantly for cleaning/polishing chrome. Once it's clean, treat it with a coat ACF-50 along with the rest of your bike. For information and guidance on using ACF-50 just search the forum or google. But it'll take about 15 minutes to apply once your bike's clean, and it'll protect everything through the winter from corrosion and weathering.

As the weather's absolutly foul today and the wind's kinda high, I've decided to take it down for service next week, hopefulyl all will be fine and it won't cost me

Thanks for the help!
