Anyone have a HJC Symax 2 helmet? I have a question.

I recently orderd a HJC Symax 2 helmet, and it arrived today.  When I try to flip up the chinbar it moves smoothly for about 80% of its travel, then it gets hard to move. You have to push it pretty hard to get it flip up that last 20%, hard enough it starts to pull the helmet off your head. Do they all do this or should it move smoothly though 100% of its travel?

I have one of the older Sy-max helmets and it doesn't do that at all. Goes up nice adn easy until it clicks into position at the top.

Might be because yours is new. Mine always worked fine.
Be sure t he sunglasses are retracted.

I agree that your helmet might still be like that because everything is flush and new.

I have a Zox Genessis flip-up and my buddy has an HJC flip-up. Neither of us has this problem. Also, both of us can leave our sun visors down with the face fully open, no problems.
