FAQs
Is this visor compatible with all HJC helmets?
No, this visor is specifically designed for the HJC IS-33 II and HJC FG-Jet helmet models only. Please check your helmet's manual or model name before purchasing.
Does this visor come with a Pinlock insert?
No, the Pinlock insert is not included with this visor. It is designed to be Pinlock-ready, meaning you can attach a compatible Pinlock anti-fog insert if needed.
How do I clean the anti-fog and anti-scratch coatings without damaging them?
Use a soft, damp microfiber cloth. For tougher dirt, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly. Rinse with clean water and gently dry with another soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, paper towels, or harsh chemicals.
What is the benefit of an anti-scratch visor?
An anti-scratch visor is coated to resist minor abrasions from road debris, dust, or during cleaning. This helps maintain a clear field of vision over the lifespan of the visor.
What causes visor fogging, and how does this visor help?
Visor fogging occurs when warm, moist air from your breath condenses on the cooler inner surface of the visor. The HJ-17R features an anti-fog coating to reduce condensation. For maximum fog prevention, it is Pinlock-ready.
Can I install this visor myself?
Yes, the HJC HJ-17R visor is designed for user installation. The process typically involves unclipping the old visor and clicking the new one into place on the helmet's pivot points.
What is the difference between anti-fog coating and a Pinlock insert?
The anti-fog coating is a surface treatment that helps reduce fogging. A Pinlock insert is a separate lens that creates a sealed air gap within the main visor, providing a much higher level of fog resistance.
Troubleshooting
Visor is difficult to attach or detach
Ensure the helmet visor mechanism is clean and free of debris. Verify that you are using the correct visor for your specific HJC helmet model. Consult your helmet's manual for detailed instructions on visor removal and installation.
Fogging still occurs despite the coating
The anti-fog coating is most effective when the visor is clean. Ensure the visor is properly cleaned. For maximum anti-fog performance, consider purchasing and installing a compatible Pinlock insert.
Scratches appear on the visor surface
The anti-scratch coating helps resist minor abrasions. Avoid exposing the visor to abrasive materials or cleaning it with rough cloths. Significant scratches may require visor replacement.
Visor does not seal properly against the helmet
Check for any obstructions around the helmet's eye port or the visor seal. Ensure the visor is correctly seated on its pivots. If the issue persists, the visor or helmet seal may be damaged and require inspection or replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This visor is specifically designed for the HJC IS-33 II and HJC FG-Jet helmet models. Please verify your helmet model before purchase.
Setup: To install, carefully unclip the old visor from the helmet pivots. Align the new HJ-17R visor with the helmet's visor mechanism and press firmly until it clicks into place. Ensure the visor opens and closes smoothly.
Care: Clean the visor regularly using a soft, damp cloth. Mild soap or a dedicated visor cleaner can be used if necessary. Avoid abrasive materials, harsh chemicals, or paper towels, as these can damage the anti-fog and anti-scratch coatings. For Pinlock insert care, follow the specific instructions provided with the insert.
