Posted April 16, 201212 yr Hello, My visor keeps misting up so much I can't see anything, it does clear after about 15 mins but it is annouying. All air vents are open. Any ideas please?
April 16, 201212 yr You have to click it up a notch for a while. Smear fairyliquid on the inside and wipe it away lightly. There is a hole thread on this subject somewhere.
April 16, 201212 yr I bought a HJC helmet, and yesterday was freezing cold , and i never had a misted visor,, when stopped at lights , looked at my mate ,he was fogged up.
April 16, 201212 yr Moderator I use anti-fog stuff, today's w/up liquid isn't as good as it used to be!
April 17, 201212 yr Try cutting a potato in half and rubbing the cut end on to the inside of the visor, sounds odd but it really works, it's the starch in the spud that does it, as drewpy says todays W/up liquid is not the same as it used to be and doesn't seem to work as well as it used to.
April 17, 201212 yr Author I use anti-fog stuff, today's w/up liquid isn't as good as it used to be! Could you let me know what anti fog product you please ?
April 17, 201212 yr I use Muc-Off Anti-Fog treatment.. not the cheapest but works a treat to be totally honest. (Each application lasts awhile too!)
April 17, 201212 yr Author Look what I found :-) Encase anyone needs it. http://www.motorcyclenews.com/upload/Ride%20Magazine/Product%20test%20pdfs/3%20MAR08%20visordemist%20test.pdf
April 21, 201212 yr Pinlock is great. I have the inserts on all my helmets. You can research them online or go into Hein Gericke who stock them. The staff there are very helpful.
April 22, 201212 yr But have you seen the little sticker that comes with a pinlock - 'daytime use only'? What's that about? I never noticed it on my Shoei until I took the visor off one day to clean it. The guy in the shop that fitted the pinlock for me must have stuck it on.
April 22, 201212 yr Sounds like a wind up. I finish work at midnight and use a clear insert with no problems. Alternatively yours was a tinted insert which can only be worn during daylight unless you like riding blind.
April 23, 201212 yr Author Oh thanks - never heard of pinlock, i'll look into. Does it help with rain? We seem to be having alot of rain and it's difficult to keep my visor Clear.
April 24, 201212 yr Pinlock fixes to the inside of the visor so it never comes into contact with rain. You will still need to do whatever you do to keep the outside of the visor clean and help the rain to run off. The inside need very little cleaning but is dead easy to do. Best of luck.
April 24, 201212 yr Author Ok - so what do people use to clean their visor? I tried last night with a micro fibre cloth and just warm water and wipe, then use a white cloth to dry
April 24, 201212 yr I use 'Shift It' helmet & visor cleaner along side a micro fibre cloth.... seems to do the job of getting rid of the nasties and doesn;t leave an eye watering smell like the old stuff used too.
April 24, 201212 yr Iv got some autoglym visor cleaner stuff, works pretty well. Smells a bit like window cleaner though...
