[QUOTE="Pterodactyl, post: 1109521, member: 76805"] Ken, While at the BMWMOA rally last summer I visited the Schuberth vender area. They were installing new ratcheting mechanisms on the C3s that current owners brought in to their area. I had worn my Shoie to the rally and they would not give me the upgraded parts to install myself. The Schuberth staff claimed one would need a torque wrench that could be adjusted to less than one NM. I know one of the Schuberth staff and she told me that putting in an oring on each side of the visor at the ratcheting mechanism would do the job even better than their fix. I tried it and it works well. You need to remove the visor. On each end, on the interior side there is a raised circular flange about 5 cm in diameter. Place an oring anywhere inside each of the circular areas; they just sit in the circular area as near to the center as you can keep them while reinstalling the visor. The oring should be roughly 1.5 mm x 15 mm. Exact size is not critical. You are simply trying to add some friction to the operating mechanism. Buy a few sizes and experiment. With the orings installed my C3 visor generally stays wherever I want it to stay. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
