- The SCHUBERTH C5 helmet has a HUGE problem..!! The VISOR falls down during the ride. With my helmet at about 70 to 90 KM/H..! (44 to 56 MPH)
I looked at what THE PROBLEM was and SOLVED it. In this video I am showing you, in a step by step tutorial, how YOU can do THAT YOURSELF.
During making this video I discovered ANOTHER HUGE SCHUBERTH C5 QUALITY CONTROLE PROBLEM.. BUT I will show that in my next video.
THIS IS PART 1#2.
Here are the tools you need:
Carbide Square End Mill - 8mm: amzn.to/43vn1yz
Torx ratchet set: amzn.to/3rFDbYP
Silicone grease: amzn.to/44Pwwtp
Sandpaper 240 Grit: amzn.to/3pTNKHs

My friend had the same problem with his C5. He was going to bin the helmet until i sent him your video last night. Following your instructions the problem is now solved and money saved.
Good to know 👍🏻👍🏻😉🍺
Same Problem here with visor... Its a problem that Shuberth needs to fix if they want to be credible... I have $1,000 invested between the helmet and the comm unit... So They need to step up and fix that part -- then send it out to purchasers. OMG Dude... You had me with the sandpaper -- but after that, I'm tapping out... Cant do it. SCUBERTH -- IF YOUR LISTENING -- FIX THE PART -- SEND IT OUT OR OFFER IT TO PURCHASERS OF THE HELMENT. Thanks for your help Old Mechanic but I cant do that myself.
Thanks, appreciate the silicone grease tip, my C5 had the same issue (struggled to seal/close the visor properly), the grease resolved it.. :)
Glad it helped 😁
This fix works... my C5 visor used to dependably slam shut at about 42 mph. After performing this modification the visor will stay where I want it, up to about 55 mph, even a little faster. My helmet is a Euro market model. The visor ratchet control disks that were modified are slightly different on my helmet than the ones featured in this video, but a flat rectangular needle file made the job easy enough. The 8mm flat bottom milling bit is exactly right for adjusting the bottom of the inner recess, which actually measures 8.5mm. Considering the price of this otherwise great helmet it is a shame we need to do these things!
😉 good info, whats the model ?
I am really happy you confirmed how to fix this annoying problem. I’m disappointed that it requires so much craftsmanship to overcome.
Geweldig dit!
Super !!! Compliments and thanks , now my helmet is perfect
Funny, you buy 500 eur helmet and then need to finalize production by yourself:)
Just followed this modification and the visor stayed up at 80 mphh
Previously i tried the o ring but that allowed the visor to move too far back when open and it damaged the finish on the helmet!
Thanks for figuring this out and posting your fix.
I'll be tuning in for the Motoscan tutorials as I've got one of those for my 125 GSA.
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻
Very, very nice video. Spot on. Safe rides👍
Thanks, will do! 👍🏻👊🏻😉
I live in Scotland I need my visor close at all times past 30mph😅😅
Helmet is coming tomorrow seeing this title had me worried lol
Don't worry, maybe Schuberth watched my video and took action 😂 But if they didn't you know where to look for a solution. Yesterday I drove my beemer and my visor stayed open up to 130 km/h 😉
Where did you get the small BMW stickers you put on ur helmet. Link please
I have seen people suggest O-rings. The o-rings that were recommended were really small and, when I tried it, the visor no longer locked in as the levers would not return to their place like yours was. I love my helmet and don’t ride with the visor up a lot, but I had taken to tipping my head back so the wind catches it and holds it open. Your windshield will make a difference in that. Mine are lower than most.
After doing my modifications, my Schuberth C5 is a good helmet. Its ashame that a company like Schuberth don't made this modified part for people who has this visor problem. Every Schuberth dealer could change that part for the new part, while you wait.
@@TheOldMechanic I think they all have this problem. Those who ride a lot with the visor open notice it more than those who ride primarily with the visor closed. What was the point in adding in the detents if they were not intended to have the visor stay in place at speed? The “memory function” is not very useful if the visor closes every time one goes for a ride.
20x1,5mm work perfectly fine!
Good morning. I recently acquired a Schuberth C4 Pro from a friend, and for me there's a problem, not the visor, but the flip-up is very light, that is, it falls right away, without much of a jolt. Any way to adjust?? Thank you from Portugal.
Seen a fix for this by putting a 32 or 35x2mm o ring round the visor mounting points.
Way safer solution, but it presses the visor outwards, not sure if that matters. I tried it and did not like it. But this guy with the strong dutch accent is the only one (watched many vids about the C5 fixes) who found the real issue and solved it properly. Schuberth should have done better and should send replacements to customers with this problem!
I've just done 1k miles with it and no problem. It's a 22x2mm o ring, btw.
Great explanation m..!! Thank you m. I have both issues on my own and my wife’s helmets. I managed to do the second fix by shaving some of the notch off the visor which worked. Will never buy (stupid) Schuberth again. For what you spend and the issues you end up with.. not worth it.. they should have a recall and sort it out.. also the rattle in the inner visor 🤨
Glad it helped at least a bit
Hello, I've seen your video twice but I can't understand what you did to solve the visor problem, could you help me please? greetings
My visor shuts ok, but the plastic face shield doesn't seat tight when closed. It's closed probably far enough, but it's not closed onto the fiberglass helmet. It does form a seal with the rubber I believe. I haven't used the helmet yet. Maybe it needs to be tighter? Have you noticed this? Thanks for making the video.
The road fix solution is using lotion (on your fingers) instead silicone. Done it on the last vacation trip.
Want the 2 second fix? Put an O ring that fits into the interior circumference of the visor piece. The piece that fits into helmet. It creates enough friction to hold the visor in position a lot better. Good luck! 👍
Thanks for the tips!
Can you send an image or do a video of your fix? let me know.. I'm desperate to fix... I'm actually on a ride right now for 2 weeks.
The O-rings work perfectly fine! I used 20x1,5 mm and the visor finally works as it is supposed to do...
@@jurgenleuck5247 glad to hear it worked out!
my has been tolt is becaus the new regulation ECE 22.06. good to know there is a walk around.
Huh.. never heared about that
Because of ECE 22.06...? The Schuberth C3 Pro has te same issues and was launched way back in 2014 when there was no ECE 22.06.... Hopefully this mod will also work on the C3 Pro
I hope it has the same system so you can use my mod 😉👍🏻👍🏻
@@TheOldMechanic I hope so, it has a similar ratchet system with notches. I've heard somewhere that Schuberth's answer to this problem was: it is a safety thing. It is dangerous riding with an open visor so that's why this mechanism is constructed this way...😎 Pinokkio...? 🤪
❤
Or you could just buy a neotec 3 .... seriously well done great mod
Please note that Schuberth has recal for C5 due these problems, go to dealer and they fix problems and change parts for free.
Thanks for the information 👍🏻
exactly. had the C5 right when it came out and experienced these issues. Got it fixed by the dealer for free in about an hour. Already back then they had an advisory from factory to also grease those points.
@@mastadriver wow thanks! I'll check it out
Why did you not think about the Scheuberth e2
Because I like the model of the C5 😉
@@TheOldMechanic that’s a fair point just thought the e2 with the peak (c5 with a slightly bigger chin bar and a peak) would suit the bmw image better as it dose for me 😂😂
Love the BMW stickers. Where did you get them?
Aliexpress 😉
my c5 won't turn off.
As if average Joe Blogg motorcycle rider has milling bits available or wants to buy such specialisef fitter and turner tools!
schuberth re-engineered on youtube (again)
