Helmet Visor Problem

[bikertomm]

Hi, Recently got a shoei xr 1100.

Took off the clear visor in all this nice weather and had a dark one to go on, went on fine and worked brilliantly.

Went to get the helmet to go out today and the 'Gear' bit that adjusts your visor was sticking out where it is supposed to be.

Took that side of the visor off (Left) and clicked it back in properly and it feels really stiff on the left side. Like too stiff to want to move it without damaging something! It's quite hard to describe but as you move the visor down the whole left side of the visor where it is attached sort of moves after everry 'Click'. Something definately isn't right... can't see anything though.

So after half an hour of faffing around thinking hmmm how have I managed to fuck a brand new lid I have got no where.

The right side fits and works fine, I've had both visors on and off - just wondered if anyones experienced anything similar, possibly I need to adjust the base plates :s

Cheers

I have the same helmet, i purchased a dark tint last weekend and it works fine, is yours an original shoei visor or a cheep one?

Yeah it's a genuine 'dark smoke' one mate, was working perfectly the other day can't understand it.

It's use-able just I don't really want to be putting it under excess pressure though flipping the visor up and down. It's like really stiff just on the left side :S

Might end up taking it to a shoei dealer or something, hopefully someone's had a similar problem and solution

pretty sure you can get the mechanism as a spare part for them

Are you sure you're seating the visor correctly?
Also, when I got a new Arai, it came with a small tube of lube for the visor mechanism, maybe you to lube it up a bit, LOL!

Go back to the shop you bought it and get them to fix/replace it?
