Ooerrr missus!

Well, my gearknob gets looser with each track day I do - all that aggressive driving - getting it out of my system!

Anyone, any clues what I can do - serious ones before this heads to the muppet forum?

I used to have this problem, try some threadlock on the grub screws.

Is it a german shaped helmet? Personally, I've got a carbon, purple one myself.

Trout, get on to Nitosport and get on of his. Had one on for ages, and not given any problems since installation.

If it is anything like the NZ model then the gear leaver is only held on by a rubber shaft. I have mine come off in my hand during a high speed gear change out of a corner. To tighten my one I got some vise grips on the metal shaft of the gear lever then twisted it back and forth until it was back where it should have been.
