helmet whistling

[Ryco]

I have a shoei rf-1100 and when I ride above 40mph I get a slight whistle and it is so annoying! If I push against the front of my visor it goes away but when I turn my head to look behind me it comes back again.

I've owned an arai rx-7RR(pre-corsair) and a suomy spec-1R and never had this problem. Am I the only one??

When I ride with headphones I cant hear it either of course. Its not a loud whislte but its just annoying

I also have the RF1100 and the whistling is common. The cure is to loosen the shield mount on the helmet and just move it back a bit to make sure that you get a good seal with the gasket against the shield. Re-tighten the screws carefully (just snug) and you're done.

You simply need to adjust the screws for the visor mechanism... Shoei has a video of how to adjust this... IIRC, even Sportbike track gear dot com has the Shoei rep demonstrating how to adjust the visor mechanism to fix the whistle...

Or, just go back to Arai

Ear plugs! Done, and it will help your focus.

I have an X-11 that will whistle with the tinted shield I have for it. The whistle goes away when I swap to the clear shield.
