Shark full face visor problem

Hey all, a friend of mine has a Shark lid, but he says that above a certain speed not fast or too slow when he looks sideways his visor pops open. And at higher speed when looking down the visor also pops open.

Anyone have this problem with their Shark? I think its been like this from day one

Sorry, I don't have a Shark, but if my lid would do that from day 1, I would have it back to where I bought on day 2...

I wear a shark RS800 and dont have a problem with the visor, but I do have problems with the vents closing when going down the road and I have only had the lid for a year. I am thinking about getting a Icon next summer

Re: Shark full face visor problem

I've had a Shark RSR2 for over a year now. Very few problems to report.
Only thing I can complain about is that the end of the chin strap is starting to look kinda frayed from repeated fastening/unfastening. But I believe that this is normal wear & tear. I mean, hell, I've had it over a year and it's still really not that bad at all.
