HOW to FIX Schuberth C5 VISOR and Long Term Review 

@Steven-js8yk aww thanks! I appreciate the comment :) have a great day!

I'm glad it was helpful! I'm an XS too. I've bought and returned many helmets!!

Yes! All good points. Thanks for commenting!

Thanks so much for subscribing!!! Welcome :) 😘

Awww thank you sooooo much :) what a nice comment and thanks so much for watching!!

Yeah I didn't want to take it out but I was in a situation where I had to ride at night and with my prescription glasses, pin locks make it so that any light or reflection are huge lines in my vision. It's super hard to see. My plan is just to get a second visor so I can change it out if I'm in a situation like that.

Really???? This is the first I've heard this! I'm going to look into this right now! Thank you!

I was looking into this about a week ago and some had claimed that Schuberth didn’t see this as a problem because they weren’t a fan of riding with the visor up. I hope their fix fixes your problem. I’m surprised that any US market helmets were early-series helmets since the helmets were introduced in late 2021 in Europe. The US helmets didn’t arrive until mid 2022. I know that the shell is different on the US helmets. It is possible that the shield mechanism could be different too or they realized that people in the US like riding with the visor open. It does seem silly to have a visor with detents as if it can be in different positions while riding.

Thanks!!

Thanks :) I appreciate such a flattering comment

@stixdrive Glad you found my video! My husband and I have been using this fix for well over a year with no difficulties. My husband has started to notice a little deterioration of the plastic of the O rings which we treated with some mineral oil to preserve it a little longer. But considering my husband put over 17,000 miles on his bike last year using the C5 with the O ring...I think that's pretty good longevity. Good luck and happy riding!

Thank you and I'm so glad my video and viewer comments helped you!!!

Great!! Lemme know how it works for you!

Thanks for watching and commenting! Happy riding to you!

Hi! Good luck with the fix. Lemme know how it goes! I just tried to type out my mic setup and well...it was getting too difficult to type out clearly. I'll make a video and get it out this week for you. Hit the bell so you'll know when it comes out :)

I'm so glad!!!! Thanks for watching and commenting :)

I had the same experience. If you put smaller O rings inside the plastic column on the visor. I do have to replace them every month or so

I got a single 1 5/8 x 1 7/16 by 3/32 (they only had one) and put it on the right side. Everything locked up as before. Now clicking which is OK, will see if they deteriorate and need to be replaced.

@zunaidkajee4540 thanks for commenting and watching. I don't know but about the rpha 91. Lemme know what you decide!

I would say now that it's fixed, it's a near perfect helmet :) good luck with your purchase!

20x2mm did the trick :) Lemme know how it goes!

My O ring from this video last almost 2 yrs. It just broke this week. I'll be replacing it but I think I'm gonna try just one instead of one on each side

Totally agree about how quiet the helmet is! It's super comfortable for me too :) thanks for watching and commenting!

@melissasmotorcycleadventures No probs.I enjoy your vids.Keepnup the good work. Have a nice day.

I bought Schuberth C5 as well, because I wanted to believe German engineering would be better. Same problems as others with the clear face shield not locking down in place because the plastic tabs molded into the shield either side would not clear the “ledges” on the black plastic parts on either side of helmet. One owner filed them down a bit to make it work. Another went back to Schuberth and they sent replacement black parts for either side. Another mentioned using silicon lube. Great, buyers/users of $800 helmets smarter than German engineers. I just bought a Shoei Neotec II modular. Clear face shield latches in place every time. The modular front part faces and locks with more certainly. Airflow keeps my head cooler in 90-100degF temps. And it is quieter. And seems the aerodynamics are better because after wearing it 3-4 hours the joint at the base of neck vertabrae and top of back vertabrae is not sore. Enough said. But it did cost $100 more. I think in this case Japanese beats German. Hopefully my BMW MCs don’t mind.

You're welcome!! Glad it worked!!

Wow, I haven't experienced this with my O rings but someone else mentioned this as well. I will keep an eye out for my visor and let me know how your revised sizing works for you!

@@melissasmotorcycleadventures I did purchase the exact same O ring as yours. Everything works and the visor stays put fully open. Thank you

@@melissasmotorcycleadventures I think the key measurement for the Oring is in the 2mm thickness. anything thicker will prevent the latch to lock in and secure the visor when fully open.

@@poupard1963 thanks for the tip and I'm so glad it's working well for you!

I'm so glad to hear this!!! I'm with you...when I'm ready for a new helmet, I may not use schuberth again. Who knows what will be out by then

Good question! Since I posted this video, I've had people tell me that it's actually a safety feature to ensure the visor is down at higher speeds. That would make sense to me but my personal preference is that I don't like it slamming down.

I've been using that O ring trick for almost a year now. Works great. The only thing that changed with doing that is that the visor memory doesn't work anymore. The visor will always close when you open the modular part. But for me it's worth it not to have the visor slamming down and scaring me :) nice to meet another RT rider!!! And thanks for watching/commenting :)

@melissasmotorcycleadventures I rode the three flags trip this year and enjoyed the ride from Mexico to Canada. I'm looking at O Rings now. I just bought a second C5 so I want to do your trick for both helmets. Is the 20 mm x 2 mm the outer dimension of the O Ring?

Thanks so much! So what do you think you're going to get?

I have no problems with the lock. The only thing that is different is that the memory of the visor being open doesn't work. It's always in the closed position when you open the modular part. But it is still worth it to put the O ring in for me

Thanks for the video. Has anyone tried putting a bit of grease on the O rings? I'm wondering if that would make a difference to the memory feature working or not and I have no idea how that works because I don't have access to that helmet, but think I would like one. The possibility just crossed my mind though.....🤔

I totally agree...for the price there shouldn't need to be that modification. But I still really like the helmet so it's worth it to get some o rings

@@melissasmotorcycleadventures It worked, thank you! I just need to find a use for the other 298 O rings that came in the pack now 🙂

@@baldiedash yay!! I'm glad! If you find a use, let me know since I have a bunch too 🤣

I don't know but I'm going to look into this!

Can I integrate cardo freeTalk into C5 ?

I use made for c5s from chin mount. You can use my coupon code for 10% off here! chinmounts.com/?ref=melissasmotorcycleadventures I also have my whole vlog setup in a video :)

Im sorry to hear this! My husband and I have both been using this fix for a year without that issue. I'm wondering if you need a thinner O ring.

Thanks for replying. I have removed the o-rings and seems to have fixed the whistling. So you might be right and I need to use thinner o-rings @@melissasmotorcycleadventures

@@melissasmotorcycleadventures UPDATE: My C5 is now a paperweight. The amount of noise that comes in as the visor doesn't seat properly, makes riding with it unbearable. The wind comes in and whistles loudly. It comes in via the bottom part where the visor is meant to be seated as well as on the sides where the visor connects. The detents don't hold up at all now and will drop with a slight bump. On top of that, the vent for the visor (top vent on the chin bar) also fell off last time I rode in the flip up position. All-in-all very disappointed with it. I can't even send it back to Champion Helmets for warranty as postage costs are a good chunk of the helmet cost. Schuberth nor Champion Helmets won't cover postage back. In addition, CH needs to "assess" to see if it's covered for warranty. Now, what to do with the Send SC2...

Still working just fine. No leaking for me. My husband also rides 5 days a week and also has had no issues

You're welcome!!!

Lemme know what you think!

Tried a 20x2.5 mm first. That wa to thick. Then i took a 16x1.5mm that worked. It might break quick then i will buy a 20x2

Interesting...I've been using this for months and lift my visor all the way up and haven't had an issue yet. But thank you for the warning..I will keep an eye out!

Glad to hear you found what works best for you :) happy riding;

Hahaha 😈

I've actually had Flying eyes glasses for some time and they are THE BEST! So I can't speak about regular glasses because I'm never going back to them lol. I'll have a video about flying eyes up next week but I have a discount code. Go to www.flyingeyes.com flyingeyesoptics.com/ and use MelMoto10 for 10% off

@@melissasmotorcycleadventures Thanks for the suggestion, but they don't seem to offer frameless, which is my personal preference when riding a bike. I have a fear (almost phobia) of losing something behind the frame of glasses and then getting in to a collision. This is why I also avoid riding a car, as much as possible. There is just too much, blocking the view.

@theodorstravels ahhhh makes sense! My husband prefers very thin frames and ones that are very large so his vision is not obscured. He also has a c5 and he hasn't had any complaints about his glasses not fitting in his helmet. He tried while in the show room to be sure before he bought the helmet.

That's a difficult question for me to answer. I'm an XS and it was perfect as is. My husband is on the small side of an XS and he had to add padding. So I would say it's true to size

Wow! That's crazy! I've never had any issues like that with my C5. Very glad you found a helmet you like though. Ride safe :)

Thanks, although I'm yet to ride the Note in heavy rain - we'll see. @@melissasmotorcycleadventures

Yes I don't know why they don't have different shells. I'm sure it comes down to money as is with my business decisions. 🙄

I agree with you. I reached out to Schuberth twice about it...no response. That disappointed me that their customee service was not very good

Perdón por entrar a su conversación, en mi caso, el visor se baja solo, y en otras situaciones mi visor se atora al querer abrirlo o cerrarlo, se lo reporte a schuberth Alemania por email y en 3 días me pusieron en contacto con Schuberth Norte América y ya me enviaron una nueva visera por garantía, estoy esperando que me llegue, y claro les comentare si se soluciono mi problema @@melissasmotorcycleadventures

It's not for safety reasons it's just bloody annoying 😂

See for yourself on my Only Fans @MelMotoAdv 😈

So far its been 10 weeks and I have no issues

Hmmm that's interesting! I can't picture how that works but I'm glad you found a fix :)

I do find most modulars are heavier for sure. The AGV sport modular is 2.98 lbs. I dont know much about that helmet but that is a pound lighter than Schuberth!

@melmotoadv

👍🏻

We all know 😈

😈🤣

Haha I love arai and have one but they don't make modular helmets 😕

Sometimes it's necessary to have it cracked for airflow but you can't without my fix.

Definitely a personal choice with helmets :)

He knows....everything that's "his" is actually mine 🤣🤣🤣🤣
