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

No problem dear use simple rubber bands to replace the O rings...I have just fixed this problem in my Axor helmet simply by using rubber bands only...

The elastic bands are best for this purpose...believe me it will give you more tightness...

Awesome, I thought about that as well. How did you keep them from rolling off the peg?

@@TheChemistDIY there a little peace on the plastic pins that the o ring stretched over holding it in place

@@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..

@@TheChemistDIY yes pal I agree paid best part of £400 4 my helmet, disappointing 2 say the least, good look with o ring 😀👍

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.

Thanks for stopping in and commenting Jonathan, come back and let us know what helmet you have and if this solution fixed your problem. Ride safe

@@TheChemistDIY Thanks! I'll be getting the o'rings today on Amazon. I have an older AGV so i'm sure this will work!

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 .. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j6xznLOblt-ymYU.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. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kM2KicSo2ZaWeaM.html Hope that helps.. keep me posted

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..

@@TheChemistDIY haha ok. My helmet latches are designed slightly different so still holding out hope!

What ever gets the job done.. Glad this helped you out.. ride safe

Not a bad solution. How long are you getting out of the foam longevity before new ones are needed to re- glued?

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!

Your in the right place to fix this issue brother. Grab yourself some Orings and get to fixing that issue..

@@TheChemistDIY Thanks for sharing

Let me know how it works out for you.

Glade it worked out for you and thanks for the sub!

@@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...

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.

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.

Now wouldn't that be funny if it did.

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.

Thanks brother, hope this little DIY ingenuity helps you out.

¿Qué tiene de malo la correa?

What a dissapointment, all that money spent for inferior product..

@@TheChemistDIY word. Thats a $500 helmet. A cheap rubber band fixed it for me.

@@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

@@TheChemistDIY for real. Got dang german rubber bands

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.

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...

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.
