Cured my Arai Tour X

[Davy F]

I was getting a bit fed up with the noise coming off my Tour X and decided to try to sort it out. I used EP-200 Epoxy putty, rolled it into a lolly pop shaped strip and stuck it along the leading edge of the peak. I then taped over it for a bit of back-up security. This eliminated a good bit of wobble/vibration from the peak. The result, better, but not quite there yet.

I happened to have an R1200S as a loaner while the GS was getting serviced today and was quite happy to find that there was no problems at all from the peak whilst riding that machine. SO, I decided that the turbulance coming off the GS screen has a major part to play in this drama. On picking up the big yellow beastie, I dropped the screen down to it's lowest setting. VOILA, no vibes at all and as quiet as my other full face Arai. I then started to raise the screen up a notch at a time to get the best balance between wind protection and horrible buffeting (this'll depend on your height, I guess).

So I'm now more than happy with my Tour X and wish I'd had done this much earlier after buying it.

Get the camera out Smeggy, would like to see the result.

Yes, get it on film.

Got a new Tour X too on a 1200 and at around 80/90 my eyes vibrate so much I can't maintain the speed

Dead comfy even with the headsets in though.

Skip.

Here ya go.


I reckon I could have made this strip a bit wider too and probably will have another go later in the week (picked a good week to have off work ). It doesn't really add any noticable weight either.

Fitted a set of the aul Tobinators to mine (cheaper than a new tall screen after the bump), and they're feckin brill

Buffeting? What buffeting?

Took the peak off mine. That seemed to cure it.

Then the question must be, Why buy a Tour X ?

 

[brassmonkey001]

I didn't know it was going to vibrate like that. I tried adjusting the peak and the screen, all to no avail. What else would you have me do, throw away a brand new helmet?
I might have a go at your mod though, nothing to lose eh?
