Installing The Sena 30K Into a HJC RPHA 70 ST Helmet | Ultimate Motorcycling

[@JonLong]

I think the fact that those red pieces can slide up is for the emergency pull tabs on the cheek pads. It allows emergency personnel to pull the cheek liners straight down from the helmet. People should not glue them in place.

[@arthurcoldwells1326]

Jonathan Long you are right of course... the key is to use a weak glue that holds the interior in place but is also super easy to overcome in an emergency. Truth is, the idea is great, but in the real world when the lining keeps slipping its super annoying, so until HJC tweak the design, a little spot of glue is a good compromise.

[@Rumpelstiltskin999]

He should figure that out 😂

[@galwaysteve]

What a help!! Fitted a SENA SMH5 in ten minutes after watching this video once. Very well and concisely explained. I was dreading doing it, especially after watching a couple of really poor videos. Thanks!!!

[@DistinctOgre]

Thank you so much. This is by far the best video on KZbin for Bluetooth installation on the RPHA70. I was so afraid to pull the guts out of my helmet, as I was afraid I'd never get it back in the right way. You made me feel so much better. Thank you, seriously.

[@Swisha90s]

I still dont have the courage to do it 🤣

[@DistinctOgre]

@@Swisha90s Don't be scared. I've done it twice now. The first time took me a couple hours, and I was stressed the whole time. The second installation took me about 12 minutes, and it was easy. If you have a helmet with the emergency cheek pads, it makes it way harder, cuz they're a pain to get back in. If it's just a regular helmet, there's really nothing to it.

[@Swisha90s]

@@DistinctOgre i did it, i do have the emergancy cheeck pads and it took me an hour. Mostly cause of the wires, did not know where to put them xD

[@DistinctOgre]

@@Swisha90s Cool! Hope you like it. It's one of those things I never new I needed, and now don't know how I ever got by without it. 😁

[@littleweirdo96]

cheers mate! wasnt sure how the pads came out and was hesitant to pull on things!

[@bubblemw7]

Came across this video and it was very helpful installing SENA 30K to 2019 RPHA 70 helmet. I had to cut (small) plastic to get left check pad inside, with a cut I was able to go around the speakers wires. Much appreciate your video and thumbs up !

[@stergiosspat8562]

Thank you so much mate. I just fitted my BT-S2 to my hjc rpha 70 thanks to your help. Cheers and ride safe.

[@ericmccormick1768]

Your vid helped a great deal when installing a Cardo Freecom 2 into the same helmet. I appreciate you, man!

[@ThePhotofit]

That was so helpful! Concise, precise and easy to understand. Cheers!

[@CH-he7gs]

The best video out there on mounting intercom! Thank you so much, highly appreciate!

[@Eraknelo]

Thanks a lot for this video! Just got an RPHA 90 helmet where the front moves up, the click-in cheekpads were no problem, but I was afraid to pull out the rest.

[@swentobler]

Hey, thanks a lot for your installing "gide". Have buyed de same helmet model and also the 30k. It was easy to build it up with this video!!! Greetings from switzerland :-)

[@ultimatemotorcycling]

Glad it helped! Ride safe :)

[@streetDAOC]

Yeah so you gluing the red tabs in completely ruins the function of the emergency pull off feature of the cheek pads. Should not be glued in.

[@chloew8457]

Glad I found this video as it was extremely helpful. I have the HJC RPHA-11 and it’s very similar inside.

[@sladerenegade7300]

By putting glue on the little orange tabs did you ruin the emergency cheek pad system? Isn't that why those orange clips slide out???

[@arthurcoldwells1326]

Very good question! I'm actually not sure if that's why the poppers slide out or not. However, the small dab of glue I use does not seem to compromise the emergency removal system at all as it is easily overcome; it really seems to make almost no difference. Based on this I wouldn't recommend using a really strong bonding resin or some kind of tape that really can't be overcome. Actually, the glue I use is so light that I've found I have to go back occasionally and do it again as it breaks down pretty easily. I love the HJC RPHA series, they fit really well and are very comfortable; they are also the quietest helmets I own. However, the cheekpad poppers do slide out quite often when taking the helmet on/off, and so something has to be done to mitigate that a bit. Thanks for asking--great observation!

[@sladerenegade7300]

Arthur Coldwells thank you for clarifying. I just purchased the same helmet and am looking to install my sena 20s on it. Great video and keep up to good work, and thank you again for the response. 👍

[@arthurcoldwells1326]

Great choice on both! Good luck and let us know if you find we missed something with the video. Cheers!

[@dondarko7885]

Thanks for the video it helped me out immensely.

Very helpful. Thanks!

Great install guide Video .. many thanks and greetings from Vienna

[@bradaunreal]

I have an identical helmet.Only I have and hjc fg st helmet.RPHA 70 is for the class above. Better (comfy), lighter (1450gr.), smaller dimensions, better ventilation, peripheral look better ... Do not take for a number helmet bigger. Just get smaller 30mm pads.The material is premium and the helmet is a very nice design. It's a bit quieter than fg-st but... not much. The air intake is heard a bit stronger than 140 km / h but I do not need ear plugs either then or then. My bike is naked yamaha mt 07. The helmet is the best buy on the market for a price of 350 eur on a discount.

[@Kingdlack]

Looks good! Great install video!

[@Jimbobd421]

How does everyone fill about the new position of the shades being on left side of helmet instead of on top of helmet. I’m on the fence before I buy. Going to be running the sena 30k. Wife has the IS maxx 2 so hers shouldn’t be a problem. 70 or 90 RPHA??? Thanks

[@faosa73]

don't those external units create a lot of noise?

[@geo4st]

in my fg-st is very anoying the thing that the speakers pop out, i mean you can say that it's a little painful, big no from me to hjc if the new helmets have also so little space, if you consider that helmets that cost 1/3 of the price have so much space that you can't understand that there is something added to the helmet

[@KeVin-od6ll]

do you have part 2 this video. that you try to speak using installing mic this helmet? may i request ? :)

[@SuperReview]

Hey your helmet doesn't have the little chin curtain that's in mine. Did you remove it? How?

[@sabbage100]

On this helmet it’s removable, it’s only stuck on with velcro.

[@soapmotorcycling330]

Great video really helpful 👍

[@felixwi]

thanks man helped a lot, god bless you

Thank u so much !!!! U have really helped me !!!

[@Na5tyify]

Why would you make a safety feature useless?

[@ToddTube1]

The best helmet ever

[@roadwarrior8560]

drop down sun visor isn't great, it was a lot better on the hjc fg-st

[@UncleBobsbikelife]

Won't the removing of the smal inner earpads and putting in speakers instead make the helmet more noisy?

[@corneleousworthington4566]

Does anyone make a bluetooth unit that doesn't look like Marvin Martian's Space Modulator stuck to the side of your lid? Something small and not noticeable?

[@joshkabufonskavitch9078]

If your gonna get something small then you won't be able to control it with the small buttons especially seeing as you'll be wearing gloves

[@hognut58]

Maybe I missed it but did you use the clamp or go sticky mount?..excellent install video. I have a hard time trusting sticky mounting things. I didn't know if the internal visor slide was in the way to use the clamp. Thanks.

[@arthurcoldwells1326]

Good question ...and you're right! Actually, I used the sticky mount in the video as it seemed a little more flush on the helmet and made for a slightly easier instal. However... Having ridden several times with it--a couple of which were in damp/drizzly conditions--I subsequently discovered that the sticky mount was starting to become unglued. Fortunately it never actually came off the helmet, but I did notice that it was getting there, so I have now changed the mount to the clamp version and that's what I'll use in future. Thanks for the kind words! Cheers

[@oferrall]

I have the RPHA 90 and the visor slider is in the same place and so I too had to go with the sticky pad. Except it's just not staying stuck in the back. I've redone it twice now, second time with 2 layers of 30 lbs 3M double-sided tape and still it's coming undone. I'm going to have to go with the clamp sooner or later, even if it means moving the whole unit rearwards.

[@roadwarrior8560]

What graphic design of your helmet?
