Any recommendations on cleaning the visor of bugs? Just curious to the methods that other people use

Generally I use a microfibre cloth which I damp to try and soften up the corpses.

Good idea :thumbup

For someone reason I thought it would be a good idea to try and used WD40 the other day... now my helmet just smells of it...

:eek :lol

I just take one wet sheet of kitchen roll and lay it/press it on the visor - leave for 10 mins to soak in then wipe off.

:agree
This is the best way I've found to get them off.

I use the kitchen roll method, but once it's soaked into the critters I remove it and then just use it to dab the worst off as I read somewhere that kitchen roll is a bit harsh and can scratch visors. Motul helmet and visor cleaner with a microfiber cloth to finish off.

chaz, that's brilliant! i'll try that myself.

Went out last night country roads 7pm - 8.30 prime fly time but hardly any, I must be aerodynamic.
