Thanks great video. What i have seen some do is use WD40 only when initially spinning the rivet. Then it is spun again withe brake fluid to remove it. I guess the logic is if the rivet is seised then it will free up easier and start spinning without causing any friction damage to it, the disc web, or the rotor. Although i agree entirely with any lubricants NOT being in contact with the rotors or pads, this may be a safer method, especially if this has not been performed yet for a number of miles/years. But, as you point out, care must be taken to have no lubricant (WD40 isn't however classed as a lubricant but exhibits some lubricating behaviour under certain circumstances. Really its a penetrating fluid) left on the rotors.
You do you, but I’ll avoid anything which provides a chance for residual lubricant to spin outwards onto the disks and pads. I’ll call any substance which modifies and reduces friction a lubricant even if that’s not specifically correct.
@@ChrisWiltshire Fair enough, thanks again for the video. Lots of people are unaware of this vital maintenance trick. Out of curiosity how many miles did it take to build up that amount of debris?
@@bailey-cj2plit was after one particular ride which was a SaddleSore in the wet and across dirt roads during that ride that my bobbins became stuffed. The bike has done just over 110.000 km now. I do approx 45,000km each year.
I wonder if you could fit some of those little screen filters in there that go in water faucets? Your idea is great though. I have a windshield on both my bikes so bugs are not a big problem for me. Great video! Thanks for sharing.
I fully agree with you : it happens so often that I even got used to it (o_0) and I can sometime rides several kilometers with a bug searching for an exit between my skull and the helmet. The NeoTec 3 is coming, I'm pretty sure they didn't address this.... (but, they kept the idea of proprietary intercom which is stupid IMO)
appreciate the vid. Feel comfy now doing it myself instead of paying the dealer 200 dollars to do it. update; after removing the foam retainers and pushing the foam away from the bracket, and removing the one bolt located below the air filter opening, I just carefully bent the bracket forward and down, out of the way. The filter still comes out and you can get the new one in. thanks for the vid. It gave me the confidence to do it after watching someone else
Couldn't you roll the mesh and then wedge it straight into the opening thus preventing bug debris under the slider. Would that work? We really shouldn't have to deal with it given the cost of the thing especially as it would have cost them next to nothing to put filters on the vents.
According to others, it appears that in a later release Shoei may have started fitting some filter. So check in with your store before you give up on this idea. Other than this the helmet has been an excellent choice for me.
Sure... I've not had to do anything with this, when I checked it last it did have a surprising amount of content collected within it, but I guess I'm perhaps a little gross and I don't set aside time to regularly clean it out. It's never blocked up and the air is still flowing... The approach appears to still be working well. :)
Did you just leave the hole open when you removed the baffle? It's odd that Delkevic didn't include a nut or something to plug that small hole left after removing the baffle.
The bugs are definitely a problem for me, so much so that I've even considered getting a Schuberth C5 as it has some sort of filter to stop the bugs getting through. Your solution would definitely be the cheaper route 😀
Great video thanks, you'd think for the ridiculous price Shoei charge for these that there should be a mesh screen in there from the factory. what does your head measure and what size neotec fits you?
