FAQs
What helmets is this Pinlock compatible with?
This specific Pinlock insert (DKS238) is designed for the HJ-31 visor used on HJC i70 helmets.
How does the Pinlock prevent fogging?
It creates a sealed air gap between the Pinlock insert and the helmet visor. This air pocket acts as an insulator, preventing condensation and fogging on the inner surface of the visor.
Can I use this Pinlock for everyday road riding?
The dark smoke tint is generally intended for track or race use where sun glare is significant. Check your local regulations, as dark tinted visors may not be road legal.
How do I clean the Pinlock insert?
Clean the Pinlock with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. A mild soap and water solution can be used if necessary, followed by rinsing and drying.
Is the Pinlock insert difficult to install?
No, it is designed for easy installation. It clips onto two adjustable eccentric pins already present on the compatible visor.
What is the main advantage of the MaxVision system?
The MaxVision system offers a larger field of vision compared to standard Pinlock inserts, providing a more expansive and less obstructed view.
Does the Pinlock come with the necessary pins?
No, this Pinlock insert is designed to work with the eccentric pins that are pre-installed on the compatible HJC HJ-31 visor. Ensure your visor has these pins.
Troubleshooting
Pinlock insert is fogging.
Ensure the silicone seal is making full contact with the visor. Check that the eccentric pins are tightened to create a snug fit. Clean both the visor and the Pinlock insert.
Difficulty installing the Pinlock.
Make sure the visor is clean and free of debris. Ensure the eccentric pins are correctly positioned and adjusted. Apply gentle, even pressure when clipping it on.
Reduced optical clarity or distortion.
Verify the Pinlock is seated correctly and there is no gap between it and the visor. Ensure both the visor and Pinlock are clean. If distortion persists, check for damage to the Pinlock or visor.
Tint is too dark for road use.
Remember that dark tinted visors and Pinlocks are often intended for track use only and may not comply with road legal requirements in your region. For road use, consider a clear or lightly tinted Pinlock insert.
