SHOEI RF-1200 Unboxing Review and Pinlock Instalation

[@M1sterFancyPants]

The oil is for the rubber bead that runs around the visor opening. It's mentioned in the helmet owner's manual

[@robbycarrasco]

Yup my last helmet had it too. It came with the helmet manual, not the pinlock manual.

[@nadiaacosta50]

the oil is for all around the black part of the visor mechanism , there is instructions inside actually, it helps when you close it, it suppose to help so when you it keeps it all sealed.

[@najimh5348]

On what page this instruction come on. Thanks

[@scottpeters2974]

The silicone oil is for LUBRICATING the hinges and mechanism. PINLOCK got the name because of the nature of its inner shield. There are pins and it locks the shield by the nature of design! Now the easiest way to install one is to put the face shield under your arm and extend it straightening out the shield. With the free hand install pinlock shield. Really easy.

[@MrSmketr]

the oil is for the visor mechanism if it ever starts to stick as you raise and lower the visor.

[@M1sterFancyPants]

It's actually for the rubber bead around the visor. Says in the owner's manual 👍🏼

[@cswerwolf]

Silicone oil is for rubber parts - to avoid deterioration. But I may be wrong)

[@nuklear41]

"Never for use on tinted visor" Why does my RF1200 smoked visor come pinlock ready?

[@YNTGUNS]

nuklear41 ikr mine too. Gold visor is pinlock ready lol. I installed it anyway

[@Greg90731]

Just bought one. Really appreciate you showing the Pinlock installation!

[@yamaha426rider]

The visor being stiff is a great thing for people like me that always ride with it up👌

[@syk9855]

[@chasiu75]

[@milesdean4076]

Badass video man! Great review.

[@JP1970]

Great video! Loved the info on the pinlock. Liked and subbed!

[@smarroqu]

Hi, I have a shoei rf-1200 with out the breath guard (the rubber peace above the nose) and I am wonder how important this item is on the helmet and is it really needed. I did notice i have a foggy lens because I don't have the pinlock on my tinted lens and I am concern if the fog i notice was because I don't have the breath guard. Could anyone help me Please. thanks

[@chasiu75]

I took mine out. It was irritating how it always rubbed on my nose.

[@1313skiracer]

You can also buy the breath guard separately

[@najimh5348]

If you will buy a cardo talkpack. Please do another video on how to install it on this helmet

[@chasiu75]

najim H I am thinking to get the new Sena 30K.

[@najimh5348]

Is it beter than the cardo packtalk?

[@Speccific]

najim H yeah Senas are the way to go. Certain models tho

[@najimh5348]

So, I will wait for the 30k, so help me god, as I take your advice. Cheers

[@chasiu75]

najim H It is always good to research multiple reviews first. But the 30K is not released yet so no solid reviews for a while.

[@samuelf8879]

Great vid awesome explanation I thought the pin lock was also just ventilation lol

[@Idmtnman]

good thing it is made in japan??

[@yamaha426rider]

zack sheridan way better than CHINA

[@johnjacob688]

Japan is known for its amazing craftsmanship.

[@NaijaBoiTellEm]

As an owner of both this helmet and Toyota 4Runner, Japan's engineering is second to none.

[@dvkbwong]

thanks for your detailed review...help me make my decision on the rf1200

[@Nisotovski]

that is how you dont like to put the pinlock on your vusor.... you need to bent the visor first and not bending the pinlock visor 😊 nice helmet by the way

[@najimh5348]

So, do you think that he damaged his pinlock?

[@nearvii6745]

Dis sum ASMR bruh

[@metaljoe9088]

My head is 63. Would the 2xl fit me?

[@FlorentinoLoco]

Hi there and thanks. whats your head measurement?

[@metaljoe9088]

Thanks mate. Will have to buy that one

[@micksreviews]

What camera/lens are you using? Looks good!

[@z-collector7518]

Nice! I want one! I have a question: Can you wear polarized sun glasses with that shied or all you see is a big rainbow?

[@chasiu75]

Z-Collector I only tested with regular sunglasses.

[@z-collector7518]

Thanks!

[@ThatCleanMT]

Z-Collector I wear polarized Oakley with this helmet. No problems.

[@z-collector7518]

Exactly the answer I was hoping for! Thank you! Cheers!

[@artcota69]

good video bro and absolutely awesome helmet.

[@Ston3rRL]

does it come with black visors or only the clear

[@chasiu75]

Ston3rRL Only the clear.

[@marottayachtsvideowalk-thr1274]

Only the clear.

[@bostjanspoljar614]

What is your head size in cm? Mine is 61 cm . I was wondering what size to choose. Greetings from Slovenia !

[@livedeliciously]

Gotta be XL.

[@AmirChemE]

Bruh the fit is definitely great but that helmet looks a little large. Is that normal?

[@MrMrabaunza]

Jesus MLG he said in the beginning that he went up a helmet size because of his long hair.

[@AmirChemE]

I didn't know that Shoei helmets make our heads look THAT big.

[@mikkei3532]

Shoei NXR in usa this have different name -wtf ???

[@Sicksan14]

Um... the pins guide it.. and hold it.. HENCE PIN LOCK.. peoples commonsense blows my mind.. or lack there of.
