    Thank you for this video! What are your thoughts about which is the darkest model? Gold seems darkest? I have the dark smoke but it is not dark enough. On my previous AGV mirror it was very dark. Perfect for summer sun. The Shoei dark smoke is just to light in the summer time so I need something even darker.

    Excellent, excellent review. Thank you! I have a dark smoke shield which I have been perfectly happy with on my old rf-1200. Just picked up a rf-1400 and need to make a choice on a darker shield. Been looking at the transition or the trusty dark smoke. Never would have thought there would be such a difference ‘looking through’ the shields.

    While it's questionable how much magnets help, they certainly don't hurt. They will trap ferrous particulates, (the most damaging kind) that are finer than the filter media will trap. The question is, what percentage are those magnets actually collecting? Many proponents argue, that the magnets at least serve to prolong the life of the filter media, reducing the possibility of bypass, which allows all debris to recirculate through the engine. Not a good thing! If you change oil and filter regularly, this becomes less of a concern.

    how do feel about the pro shade now? Im thinking about getting some aftermarket photochromic visor my arai but I do like the versatility of the pro shade and I like my visor with the most clarity I could get.

  • @bikersquest
    @bikersquest2 ай бұрын

    It's okay, it can cause some buffeting depending on your bikes windscreen setup in certain positions and if it gets dirty from a previous ride in rain etc you may have to clean it unlike internal visors, but on the plus side it doesn't fog up. Ultimately a photochromic visor is nicer but I don't know if the aftermarket ones are correctly safety tested so don't trust them.

    When you made these adjustments, has it made a difference to the ride?

  • @bikersquest

    Yep, the clutch bite is more consistent not super far out and the wheel actually stops with the engine running on the centre stand when warm (not that this matters that much but before the adjustment it would spin still).

    I reckon the paper oil filter would've caught the ferrous particles really but as you saw in the video, there is still some magnetic material to be caught. I guess it doesn't hurt.

  • @vincentrobinette1507
    @vincentrobinette1507Ай бұрын

    The cylinder walls and piston rings are ferrous, and they're what shed the most particulate matter. The cam shaft and lifters are also ferrous, and those components are the most susceptible to wear caused by fine particulate matter. Magnets can trap particles that would otherwise pass through a typical filter media.
