System 5 problem

[Ted]

Have just noticed the chin strap cover is torn (both sides) on my system 5. Only spotted it when I cleaned it to put it away. Use an ARAI with fog city in the winter. Anyone else noticed. Only had it since May of to dealers tomorrow see what they say.

Seen plenty that have done exactly this - mine is OK at the moment but I'm sure it wil do the same when its about 18 months old!

System 5 Problems.....

This is a 'known' issue apparently........

Mine did the same virtually the first time I used it........changed without question under warranty by Motorrad Central in Glasgow.

Replacement is fine after 5000 odd miles......

3000 miles and mines ok

Mines one of the later ones, done 22000 miles no probs get yours changed under warranty, it lasts for 2 years I believe.

Thanks for the replys. Just got back from dealers. Getting two new cheek pads put in no probs.

Just about to have a second replacement.

Personally I'd insist on a new helmet........I believe the replacement cheek pads
will also be faulty as they will have been manufactured as a large batch at the commencement of System 5 helmet production......
