Watch This Before You Buy an AGV K6 Motorcycle Helmet 

What brand helmet to you use?

That's progress for you. I bought an AGV helmet in 1978. I'm still using it and the cheek pads are still fine. I bought a few extra visors, when I bought the helmet - after negotiating a discount of course. If a visor seems unsalvageable, I use very fine sand paper to remove the scratches and then polish with tooth paste. I learned this as an intern for a watchmaker. For expensive visors I would use Plexus, but I can buy two visors for my old helmet at the price af one can of plexus. Now I see the arrival of nicely shaped helmets made according to ECE 22.06. I will certainly get one of those now. They call it retro style, but I want one because they have no protrusions that can catch the asphalt in a low side crash.

Thank you for this video brother! I have owned 1 AGV it was a AGV K5S and I crashed in to on my 2008 Hayabusa with the K5S on and it did superb!! I didn't even feel the impact of the ground! The only negative I have about the helmet was when i crashed is that the shield came off as soon as I hit the Ground. I have also owned Scorpion helmets prior to owning AGV helmets I have owned the Scorpion EXO-R2000 and the Scorpion EXO-R710. They were both great helmets while I had my 750 Suzuki Katana but as soon as I got the Bussa I knew I had to step it up and I did with the AGV K5-S. I now own a AGVK1-S the new generation of that helmet and its super light at high speeds feels really stable. But now that you mentioned to us about those cheek pads i might look at another Brand for my back up helmet. here was my bussa before I crashed it. ru-vid.com7QkQsMa1uOg?feature=share

I was instant sold when I tried in a shop. How comfortable and lightweight it is compared to my old HJC(which again is a great brand). Revzilla had it on closeout and available on my size. Best $350 spend on a helmet. Cheek pads on mine are tight but I expect to break in, or I can order cheekpads with less thickness.

You should really specify this is an issue only where you live - the US. In Europe we can pretty much get them from every online store, including AGV's own webshop.

I have 4 of this helmets 😅 really like it ❤

Thanks for the heads up. Was considering this helmet as its getting time for a replacement... Will probably stick with Arai.

I have the same helmet, fits great, super light weight and looks super.

Shoei, the transition visor is a must for me.

Hey Devil, if you are still having this issue. Have you looked at the k6-S? That's the replacement for the K6 you and I both have. Might be away to get it, they didn't seem to change much.

Hahahaha, I have a K5S and similar issue with the cheekpads, they’ve worn out in less than 6 months. It’s still okay for the road, but on the track the helmet keeps slipping in my eyes… also, the little plastic crap that holds the visor got broken. None of these parts are in stock anywhere in the country, shops just sell the helmet itself… I had to order the plastic bit all the way from Italy, with shipping costing as much as the bit, but I refuse to order a replacement cheekpad for €90 if it gets loose in so little time 😅

same in here south east asia i dont wanna mention which country

I think they wanna sell you a new helmet ;) I have a similar issue with an Arai. Faceshield got scratch up in a dropsy. Nada online. Used to find those things in the helmet section of shops. Days gone by.

Motostorm has every size of cheek pads for the k6 in stock. With the good exchange rate and lack of VAT, just purchase a couple more things you usually need anyway and the shipping fee to the US is totally offset. Not associated with them in any way, just an amateur tip: check an Italian vendor if looking for Italian parts. ;)

Thanks a lot

I’m sure you’ve been asked this before, but I wondered about your floor tiles. I think they look great, but are they easy to maintain and keep clean? I keep my lawn mower, dirt bikes and road bikes in the same place…..d’ya reckon this could work well?

66 bomber forks. Baby food i know bu butter and oily ...greenpeace ..

In the USA there was a delay getting replacement cheek pads. There you go, no need to watch the loooong video.

I got the same problem with my shoei rf1200 , im not able to find spare vent intake .

The switch for the drop down visor on my AGV Ducatihelmet broke off, the parts weren’t available, so Ducati just swapped the whole helmet out.

Hey! Good choice! I for same reasons picked same helmet. Actually twice (cause first one was stolen with my v4s :D ) Its great, sadly no sunvisor, but its the only helmet i can ride for 12+hrs per day. And i think we have much better supply for Italien brands here in europe, so no such problems.

Get a Shoei nxr 2.. I’ve got a Agv Pista RR, a K6 and a nxr2, it has the best interior/fit hands down, not even close.

It’s pronounced Show-Eee not Shoe-Eee boss

So note to self...Don't buy that helmet. That's BS!

Made in China😂
