FAQs

What is a Pinlock insert for?

A Pinlock insert is a secondary lens that attaches to the inside of your helmet's main visor. It creates a sealed air gap that traps moisture, preventing condensation and fogging, thereby maintaining clear vision.

How do I know if my HJC helmet visor is compatible?

This Pinlock insert is specifically designed for the HJC HJ-50 visor, commonly found on HJC Y10 helmets. You should check your helmet's manual or the visor itself for the model number (HJ-50).

Can I use this Pinlock with any HJC helmet?

No, this Pinlock insert is only compatible with the specific HJC HJ-50 visor. It will not fit other HJC visor models.

How often should I clean the Pinlock insert?

It is recommended to clean the Pinlock insert regularly, especially after rides in adverse conditions, using mild soap and water to maintain its anti-fog properties.

Does the Pinlock insert affect the helmet's aerodynamics?

The Pinlock insert is designed to be low-profile and should not significantly affect the helmet's aerodynamics or sound profile.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the product packaging or the retailer's website for specific warranty information, as warranty terms can vary.

Can I transfer the Pinlock insert to a different visor?

Only if the other visor is also an HJC HJ-50 model. This Pinlock is designed for a specific visor type and will not fit other visor models, even from the same brand.

Troubleshooting

Pinlock insert fogs up despite installation.

Ensure the Pinlock insert is correctly installed and creating a complete seal around the visor edges. Check for any debris trapped between the Pinlock and the visor. Clean the Pinlock insert surface as per care instructions.

Pinlock insert does not fit the visor securely.

Verify that you have the correct HJC HJ-50 visor and that it is clean. Ensure the small posts on the visor are free of obstruction and that the Pinlock is being aligned and pressed correctly onto these posts.

Visible distortion when looking through the Pinlock insert.

This can sometimes occur if the Pinlock is not perfectly seated or if the visor itself has a slight curve. Re-seat the Pinlock insert, ensuring it is evenly pressed against the visor. Minor adjustments can often resolve this.

Difficulty installing or removing the Pinlock.

Ensure you are following the correct installation steps and not forcing the insert. For removal, gently disengage the locking mechanism or carefully pull the insert away from the posts. Consult your helmet manual if unsure.
