Setup and Installation
The CWR-F2PN visor utilizes Shoei's quick-change mechanism for straightforward installation. Refer to your helmet's specific manual for detailed instructions on visor removal and installation, as procedures may vary slightly by helmet model.
Basic Visor Installation Steps:
- Prepare Helmet: Ensure your helmet is clean and free of debris around the visor base plates.
- Align Visor: Align the visor's pivot points with the helmet's base plates.
- Engage Mechanism: Press firmly until you hear a click, indicating the visor is securely locked into place on both sides. Gently pull on the visor to confirm it is properly attached before riding.
Pinlock Lens Installation (Optional):
If installing a Pinlock EVO lens, gently flex the visor to flatten it slightly, then align the Pinlock lens with the pins on the inside of the visor. Press the lens onto the pins until it snaps into place. Ensure the silicone seal of the Pinlock lens is flush against the visor surface.
Operating the Visor
- Opening/Closing: Use the tab located at the bottom center of the visor to smoothly open and close it. The visor has multiple detent positions to allow for partial opening for ventilation.
- Visor Lock: For added security at high speeds, the visor features a locking mechanism. Press the small button near the bottom center of the visor to engage the lock. To unlock, press the button again and lift the visor.
- Ventilation: The visor works in conjunction with the helmet's upper and lower vents. Adjust these vents on your helmet to control airflow and prevent fogging.

Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance is crucial for the longevity and clarity of your visor.
- Cleaning:
- Remove the visor from the helmet.
- Rinse the visor with lukewarm water to remove loose dirt and debris. Avoid wiping a dry or dusty visor, as this can cause scratches.
- Use a mild soap (like dish soap) and a soft, clean microfiber cloth to gently clean both sides of the visor.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water and air dry or gently pat dry with a clean, soft cloth.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or window cleaning sprays, as these can damage the visor's coating.
- Pinlock Lens Care: If you have a Pinlock lens installed, remove it before cleaning the main visor. Clean the Pinlock lens separately with lukewarm water and a soft cloth. Do not use soap or harsh chemicals on the Pinlock lens, as this can damage its moisture-absorbing properties. Allow it to air dry completely before re-installing.
- Storage: Store your helmet and visor in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Replacement: Replace your visor immediately if it becomes scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged. Even minor damage can significantly reduce visibility and protective capabilities.
