FAQs

What HJC helmets does this Pinlock 70 Dark Smoke Lens fit?

This Pinlock insert fits HJ-S2 & HJ-17R visors, compatible with helmets like the HJC FG-JET and IS-3311.

Is the dark smoke tint road legal?

No, the dark smoke tint is intended for race/track use only and is not road legal. Only clear and light smoke/tinted visors are road legal.

How do I clean the Pinlock insert?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or ammonia-based products. Rinse with clean water and air dry.

What is the difference between Pinlock 30, 70, and 120?

The numbers refer to the level of fog-free clearance provided. Pinlock 70 is a premium solution with enhanced fog-resistant properties, suitable for challenging weather. Higher numbers generally indicate greater fog resistance.

Can I swap this Pinlock insert with a clear one?

Yes, the Pinlock insert clips between two adjustable eccentric pins, allowing you to easily swap it out for other compatible Pinlock lenses (like clear or other tints) depending on your riding conditions.

What does the '70' in Pinlock 70 mean?

The '70' denotes the level of fog resistance the lens provides, indicating a premium solution with strong, extended fog-resistant properties designed for riders facing difficult weather conditions.

Will this prevent my visor from fogging up completely?

The Pinlock 70 is designed to be the world's number one anti-fog product by creating an insulating air layer and absorbing moisture. While it significantly minimizes or eliminates fogging, extreme environmental conditions might still lead to minor condensation.

Troubleshooting

Pinlock insert not sealing correctly

Ensure the eccentric pins on the visor are correctly adjusted and tightened. Check that the silicone seal on the Pinlock is clean and free of debris. Re-seat the Pinlock insert firmly.

Visible fogging persists

Clean both the inside of the helmet visor and the Pinlock insert. Ensure the Pinlock is properly seated, creating the necessary air gap. The Pinlock 70 offers strong resistance, but extreme conditions may still cause minor fogging.

Pinlock insert is scratched or damaged

Replace the Pinlock insert. Scratches can impair visibility and the effectiveness of the anti-fog treatment.

Difficulty installing Pinlock

Verify that you have the correct Pinlock model for your specific HJC helmet visor (HJ-S2 or HJ-17R). Ensure the visor is correctly oriented and the pins are aligned.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

This Pinlock insert is specifically designed for HJC helmets fitted with HJ-S2 and HJ-17R visors. It is confirmed to fit visors for HJC helmets such as the FG-JET and IS-3311. Ensure your helmet visor has the two adjustable eccentric pins required for Pinlock installation.

Setup:

  1. Ensure your helmet visor is clean and dry.
  2. Align the Pinlock insert with the two adjustable eccentric pins on the inside of your helmet visor.
  3. Gently push the Pinlock insert onto the pins until it clips securely into place.
  4. The silicone seal should create a tight fit against the visor.

Care:

  • Clean the Pinlock insert regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the moisture-absorbing surface and silicone seal.
  • Never use window cleaning sprays or ammonia-based products.
  • For stubborn dirt, a very mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and allowing to air dry completely.
  • Do not use wipers on the Pinlock insert.
