FAQs
What helmets is this Pinlock insert compatible with?
This specific HJC Pinlock insert is designed for the HJC F70 helmet and its HJ-32 visor. It requires the visor to be Pinlock-ready with adjustable pins.
Can I use the yellow Pinlock insert on public roads?
This yellow variant is an aesthetic choice and is street legal. However, it's important to note that any *tinted* Pinlock inserts (e.g., dark smoke, blue, red) are generally not suitable for public road use and are intended for track use only.
How do I clean the HJC Pinlock insert?
Clean the Pinlock insert with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemical sprays. Mild soap and water can be used if necessary, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
What is the purpose of the yellow color?
The yellow color is primarily an aesthetic option. The core function of preventing fogging is achieved through the insert's material and design, regardless of color. Some riders may find yellow tints helpful for enhancing contrast in specific low-light conditions.
How often should I replace my Pinlock insert?
The lifespan of a Pinlock insert depends on usage and care. If you notice a decrease in its anti-fog performance or if the silicone seal becomes damaged, it's time for a replacement.
Can I install this myself?
Yes, the HJC Pinlock insert is designed for easy DIY installation by clipping it onto the visor pins.
Troubleshooting
Visor is still fogging up.
Ensure the Pinlock insert is correctly installed and that the silicone seal is making full contact with the visor. Check that the visor pins are adjusted correctly and not obstructing the seal. Clean the insert and visor.
Pinlock insert doesn't fit the visor.
Verify that you have the correct HJC Pinlock insert for the HJ-32 visor on the HJC F70 helmet. Ensure your visor is Pinlock-ready and has the necessary pins installed. This insert will not fit non-Pinlock-ready visors.
Small gaps between the insert and visor.
Adjust the tension of the two adjustable pins on the visor. Gently turning them clockwise usually tightens them, helping to create a better seal. Ensure no debris is present on the pins or visor edge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This Pinlock insert is specifically designed for the HJC F70 helmet's HJ-32 visor. It requires the visor to be Pinlock-ready, meaning it must have the two adjustable pins already fitted. It will not fit visors that are not Pinlock-ready.
Setup:
- Ensure your HJC F70 visor is clean and free of debris.
- Align the HJC Pinlock Insert with the two adjustable pins on the inside of your visor.
- Gently press the insert onto the pins, ensuring it clips securely into place.
- Verify that the silicone seal around the edge of the Pinlock insert makes full contact with the visor surface for optimal performance.
Care:
- Clean the Pinlock insert gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the moisture-absorbing plastic and silicone seal.
- Do not use window cleaner or anti-fog sprays on the Pinlock insert, as this can degrade its effectiveness.
- If the insert becomes heavily soiled, it can be carefully removed and washed with mild soap and water, then rinsed thoroughly and dried with a soft cloth before reinstallation.
