FAQs
What helmets is this Pinlock insert compatible with?
This Pinlock insert fits HJ-20M and HJ-20ST visors, which are used on HJC IS-17, FG-17, RPHA ST, and FG-ST helmets.
How do I clean the HJC Pinlock Insert?
Clean the insert using a soft, damp cloth. Mild soap and water can be used for stubborn dirt, followed by a gentle rinse and drying with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Can I use a tinted Pinlock insert on public roads?
No, tinted Pinlock inserts are intended for track use only and are not road-legal. This yellow insert is a clear version designed for fog resistance.
How does a Pinlock insert prevent fogging?
The Pinlock insert creates a double-glazed effect by trapping a layer of air between itself and the main visor. This insulation prevents condensation from forming on the inside surface.
What is the difference between Pinlock 70 and other Pinlock versions?
The Pinlock 70 is considered a premium version, offering enhanced fog-resistant endurance compared to standard versions. It's known for its reliable performance in various conditions.
How do I adjust the pins on the visor for the Pinlock?
The pins are eccentric, meaning they can be rotated. Use a small screwdriver to turn the pins, which will move the Pinlock insert closer to or further from the visor to achieve a tight seal.
Troubleshooting
Pinlock insert is fogging up
Ensure the Pinlock is correctly installed and creating a proper seal against the visor. Check that the eccentric pins are tightened adequately. Clean both the inside of the visor and the Pinlock insert.
Pinlock insert is loose or rattling
Verify that the Pinlock is fully clipped onto the eccentric pins. Adjust the tension of the eccentric pins using a small screwdriver to ensure a firm fit.
Visibility is still obscured
Clean the outside of the visor and the Pinlock insert thoroughly. Ensure no debris or residue is impairing vision. If using a tinted visor, ensure it's appropriate for current light conditions.
