    It is a pain, but Ive got it down now. Its just crazy cause my OGKs shield can be switched in 4 seconds........ For such a good lid, youd think they would fix the only problem they have.

    Has anyone had to get a warranty repair/replacement on an Arai helmet? Will they cover their quick change mechanism if it breaks? I still need to register my helmet with them.

    Yes. Take your Arai to a authorized dealer or send it to Arai yourself. 5-7 year warranty depends on who you talk to.

    There is definately a knack to changing the shield on an Arai. I can change one in about 20 seconds.


    2003 Honda VFR......Staintune exhaust, PCIII , Helibars, Sargent seat, Penske rear shock, Traxxion front forks, Pazzo levers, Speedohealer and Ventura luggage for the occasional trip.

    2007 Honda CBR 600 RR.......Carrozzeria wheels, Spiegler brake lines, R&G frame sliders, Puig screen, Pazzo levers.

    I was always under the impression it was extremely easy to change, it just sounds scary:

    Don't be afraid to ma handle it.

    its easy, and if you break the piece, its like 5 or 10 dollars to replace.

    I've broken them a few times and now just buy the replacements in bulk.

    They don't break cause they're hard to change, they break cause they are shitty.
