If there are any owners, how long does it take for them to give alittle?

Usually buy Sharks (round head you know) latest being the Spartan RS. They've always felt fine after a few days use of low mileage riding. A day of normal to heavy use would do the trick I think

What model is it?

Had a few sharks and a day out normally frees it up enough.

Had mine about 8 months and I'm not 100% happy with it Look at the ratchet notches for the visor positioning. Compared with older Sharks that use a spring loaded piece, the RS just uses a flimsy bit of ridged plastic stuck on with sticky foam. Some are stiffer than others, but they all tend to get pretty loose after time.

Obvious sign of cheapness, but otherwise it's a decent 2206 lid.

Funnily when fitting the pinlock I noticed two springs on mine either side!
