Visors and Pinlocks - How to Adjust and Clean them

It sounds silly to ask 'Do you know how to clean your visor and adjust your pinlock?' but surprisingly it is a bit more fiddly than you might think.
Mark and Toby talk about how to clean your visor properly and how to adjust your pinlock to make sure it fits correctly and performs as it should.

another great video guys, good fun but also informative as always

[@TheDervMan]

I believe the phrase you’re looking for to describe the pinlock pins is eccentric cam! Made me chuckle how the dog wondered off and proceeded to spend the rest of the video trying to retrieve something from under the fireplace! Good video guys, educational and amusing as usual. I like the pledge tip 👍🏻

[@RiderCamTV]

Hahha. That could have been the word. The dog is Fab 😎 Glad you enjoyed it matey ;)

Great fun guys - loved it! So good to see content where the presenters arent taking it all too seriously!

[@RiderCamTV]

Thanks matey. We love having fun whilst on camera too :)

[@micksmith1984]

Another great video Guys. I have never heard of using Pledge for cleaning g a visor, so I now consider myself edjeecated. Thanks.

[@RiderCamTV]

Thanks matey. Yeah it’s good stuff and cheap too so win win ;)

[@paulastreet4557]

@@RiderCamTV window cleaner would do it too?

[@gregoryjameslewis_versys6584]

just had a eureka moment with the pin lock tightening thanks guys.

[@IanTed]

So glad somebody else uses Pledge, does the job, after cleaning the visor with a DAMP micro fleece cloth which is clean. I learnt the hard way..

[@RiderCamTV]

Definately. Does the same thing as rainex etc as well as smelling nice too ;)

[@andrewtofts7884]

Thanks guys, useful information as always. I use baby wipes for the initial clean and a fibre cloth to dry off; the pack of wipes stores easily in my tank bag and only cost 86p from Morrisons. Cheers, Andy

[@RiderCamTV]

No probs matey and thanks for the kind words :) Baby wipes is a good idea, thanks ;) 👍

[@andrewtofts7884]

RiderCamTV Thanks. By the way, I’ve finally found a source to buy a Drift Ghost S as they are like Rocking Horse shit; went for that model as the 4K is just full of bugs and not working. Got the S for less than £200.

[@IanTed]

Best thing for removing bugs, always carry a pack with me...big packs from the Co-Op for about a £1😆.

[@ceriabestsb3023]

Same here.Baby wipes n soft tissue.Easy to store and cheap to buy.

[@jalan-jalansantai8839]

But the baby wipes left oily spot on visor

[@Jim553just]

This was handy. I'd hear'd about pinlocks, no idea what they were, and now I don't need to ask a dealer ;) Good stuff, keep em comin.

[@piotrb6410]

What I also do when I remove my visor for cleaning is I put a bit of silicone lubricant on the visor seal and the moving components. Makes the visor move lighter and seems to seal better.

[@BickMitchum]

I agree with using polish as it's has brilliant hydrophobic coating, but inwouldnt go straight in with that as your theoreticalcally buffing in dirt. I use window cleaner as it's the same as mucoff, shift it etc but only 71p to remove filth first. Then I use washing up liquid leave it dry then buff off as it leaves a good anit fog coating then finish it off with polish. Enjoyable video lads ! Good work. Subbed

[@Null-zp3or]

I'll now be using Pledge for sure. I wonder how glass cleaner /windowlene etc fairs. Assuming it doesn't damage plastic that is

[@RiderCamTV]

glass cleaner is good also, but in the pound shop, pledge is only a quid and does the job so well

[@BlondiniActual]

Good vid gents, I've had pin locks that don't have the adjustment function, in fact I've never seen an adjustable one. Every days a school day. I,m currently running a shark with the anti fog shield which is okay. On dropping helmets, I sit in the camp of if you drop it and can see actual chips, cracks or deformities then it goes. Generally reasonable brands can take the odd knock and not compromise its integrity. Fortnine has some very informative helmet care and make vids for educational purposes. And mid range quality helmets works for me too. I've had 2 SMIDSY,s in 12 months it can be pricey.

[@RiderCamTV]

Cool. Thanks for the kind words mate. Glad you enjoyed the video. With you on the replacement of damaged. You only get one head after all ;)

[@BlondiniActual]

Agreed, but I'm cheap!

[@dtruman15]

Hi Both, Nice Job... It's so nice to make use of something like the wifes Pledge!!! It saves money and it works so well. Ha. All the Best Both, Dave.

[@RiderCamTV]

Hey Dave. Thanks for the kind words. Was a fun video but always good to clean the visor hehehe

[@rui_bras]

Very nice and informative video. I even didn’t knew that the pin was adjustable and that we could remove and reinstall the pinlock, thought that it could loose the efficiency. Love to see when you both are trying to show a serious face and then, after a few seconds, all we are laughing 😂. The dog wasn’t very involved, maybe he doesn’t care because he has someone to clean his visor. (Sorry for my english)

[@RiderCamTV]

Hahah. Thanks matey. And yeah it’s funny when we are trying to be serious that we just laugh instead. ;) Ride safe matey - your English is good 👌

[@MrHugawa]

you guys rock....thx

@@RiderCamTV and the visor got some TLC, to boot!

[@paulastreet4557]

Hi, I just bought a used (but not much) Atom MT from ebay, with the pinlock on it. However, first use - it completely fogged up! Do the vents have to be opened ? Any advice appreciated.

[@markholroyd5365]

Yes they do. Ride safe

[@rossbaker77]

I bought a Shark helmet. It's really good except the visor steams up, even with the pinlock in. I know you can tighten or loosen it with the pins but not sure which way they are meant to turn. Can't see any arrows on it. Do you know if it's normal righty tighty, lefty loosey?

[@RiderCamTV]

Not sure buddy but when you turn them it should be easy to spot as it gets tighter

[@RMK67]

Great vlog and yes have made the same mistake buying a new Arai helmet and the pin lock visor fogged up - so quick question, “How do you know what side of the anti fog visor” goes against the main visor...?

[@RiderCamTV]

Hey mate. Thanks for the kind words. It’s the side that has the silicone bump that goes against the visor. If that’s not what you meant your pin lock should click into place with minimum effort. If it doesn’t fit right chances are it’s around the wrong way. Hope that helps :)

[@RMK67]

30 years of riding motorcycles and everyday I'm learning something new, yes this silly twat had mounted it incorrectly, cheers and thanks guys - A BIG Thumbs Up... :)

[@richardmourdock2719]

When the shield is extremely coated with dried bug guts, take a paper towel, soak it with soapy dishwater, then spread it across the shield and allow it to sit there for an hour or so, occasionally re-wetting it if necessary. Then, pry it off and use the Pledge as indicated here. Far cheaper than a bunch of specialty stuff which is chemically, exactly the same as the Pledge except for the lovely lemon fragrance which the expensive stuff lacks.

[@lynsmith1096]

Good 1 Guys

[@RiderCamTV]

Thanks Lyn :)

[@Jim553just]

It reminded me of watching Bill and Ben ;)

[@mikedignum1868]

Hi Gents..Can you do a video on what you think of the new integrated intercoms / helmets (Shoei or Schubert) kind of thing, I'd like to get your opinion . For years i've gone with separate items and at the moment i ride with a shoei helmet and Uclear intercom system. PS, On seeing your videos i've decided to buy the Caberg Duke II from Get Geared..nice 20% discount which got it down to £148.

[@RiderCamTV]

Hey Michael. Will see what we can do :)

[@craigsellars38]

Hi Guys, Really love watching all Your Vlogs. Question... is that just standard Pledge for wood surfaces ?? Happy New Year to You both as well. All the way from New Zealand :).

[@RiderCamTV]

Hey buddy. Thanks for the kind words. It’s the one with the bees wax in it as it isn’t too abrasive but enables the shine as well as the rain to fly off after polishing ;)

[@RiderCamTV]

Basically the one for wood surfaces yeah but I always get the beeswax one. Happy new year to you too ;)

[@craigsellars38]

Excellent... I'll get the Wife to pick a can up for "her" cleaning supplies he he :) Cheers Guys.

[@Back2TheBike]

Good stuff guys as always. A couple of points: I got some new glasses at specsavers before Christmas, and they sell a decent sized bottle of lens cleaner for £2.50. I've been using it on the outside of the visor and my mirrors. I'll experiment with Pledge too after seeing this. Second point, do you have any idea if Rainex is safe for plastic visors? I've just discovered how effective it is on the cars windscreen.

[@RiderCamTV]

That stuff is good too but a little pricy unless you have a friendly optician. Hehe. Rainex should be ok I think although I haven’t used it before but I’d check with the retailer before buying.

[@huwevans4452]

Been looking at this and RainX is not recommended for plastics as it could react with the visor plastic - I'm looking for an alternative now.

[@RiderCamTV]

Mr sheen! It keeps everything clean and works way better :)

[@Dorset-Biker]

Any tips for stopping glasses misting up? My Pinlock works fine but redundant due to not being able to see through my glasses!

[@Rose__L]

i clean my glasses with dishsoap and water, after drying, apply shaving cream, leave it for a few minutes and then buff it off. Seem to reduce fogging for me in tropical Singapore. Hope it works for you.

[@matt-zr6zs]

Got ,question guys just fitted a pillock ,yo my lid , as I've fitted itvi can see a few bubbles ,will they go once outside riding ? Any help is much appreciated.

[@RiderCamTV]

Shouldn’t be any bubbles but you could remove and reseat it to remove then

[@curlyclaire]

I can't get my pinlock "pins" out of my visor and I've tried pliers to adjust but they're not budging! Any ideas?

[@RiderCamTV]

have you checked to see if they can be adjusted... some can't

[@curlyclaire]

@@RiderCamTV I managed to adjust one but one broke so replaced both pins with the pinlock pins with the little screw. So much easier to adjust!

[@stephenpatton8690]

No need to buy a new lid if it drops off your seat, guys. Helmets are designed to sustain impact WITH WEIGHT in them and ONLY weight in them!

[@RiderCamTV]

very true indeed but staying on the safe side (considering the miles we do) always good to make sure as posssible that its all going to work if the unthinkable happens
