A helmet is pulled backwards due to the
air pressure from ahead while riding.
However, the Top-Aero-Ventilation
System helps resolving such matter.
The Top Aero-Ventilation System
improves the air-flow effectively, and
discharges humid air inside of the helmet
to the outside by the “negative pressure”.
As a result, the inside of the helmet is
comfortable in hot summer and under
hard conditions such as racing scenes.
The Top Aero-Ventilation
System is equipped with a
shutter function to allow
adjustments of air intakes as
desired to shut off cold air in
cold winter and water drops in
rainy weather.

The “Single Action Shield System PATENTED” is the shield replacement system
developed by KABUTO. The system allows quick shield replacement for riding and
racing conditions and easy maintenance.
6Single Action Shield SystemPAT.P.
WARNING
●Operating the shutter while riding is very dangerous. Never operate the
shutter while riding. Operate it before riding.
●The air-ducts (air intakes and discharge holes) of the head ventilations and the
Top Aero-Ventilation are designed in the proper sizes and quantities
considered a large impact in the event of accidents and falling down.
Customizing by enlarging or making more air-ducts would reduce the safety
performances significantly and can cause serious injuries in case of an
accident. Never customize your helmet.
CAUTION
●The shield is so constructed that it cannot
be removed unless it is moved up to the
highest position.
●Do not pull or twist the shield by force to
remove it. Such action may damage the
shield and ratchet system.
●Handle the removed shield with care in
order not to damage it.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized dealer (See
Pages 23 to 25).
Please be informed that we may not accept repairing, in the case the safety
performance of the helmet will be degraded.
How to remove the shield:
aMove the shield up(Fig. 1). (Move it up as far as it
goes.)
bAs shown in Fig. 2, pull the shield in the direction of
the arrow while pressing down the release button on
the shield. One side of the shield is completely
removed.
＊The shield can be removed easily by pulling it along
the angle of the end of release button.

same procedure to attach the shield on the other
side. (DThe installation of the shield is complete).
WARNING
●After the installation of the shield, make sure the shield is securely installed
and that it is properly opened and closed before riding. If the shield does not
work properly, or is installed insecurely, it may cause a failure in opening and
closing the shield or lead to the removal of the shield while riding, thereby
causing a great risk. If the opening and closing operations are not properly
performed or abnormal noise is heard during these operations, check the
steps in the installation procedure and repeat the installation procedure from
the start.
●The shield is a consumable item. If the shield surface is damaged by a bug,
stone, etc. hitting on the surface, it may hinder the vision, thereby causing a
great risk. If the shield gets extremely dirty or scratched, replace it with a new
one.

Instruction Manual
PRIOR TO USE, READ THIS INSTRUCTION
MANUAL THOROUGHLY AND KEEP THIS
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
BEFORE USE
NOTES BEFORE USE
Thank you very much for purchasing a KABUTO helmet.
This Instruction Manual describes proper handling, various functions and
remove/replace each part of this helmet. Please read this Instruction Manual
thoroughly prior to use.
After reading this, keep this Manual for future reference.
The helmet is just one element of protection, it is intended to minimize the risk
in the event of an accident. It cannot ensure complete safety.
Use this helmet properly based on this understanding.
Please understand and follow the instructions and information in this
Instruction Manual to enjoy your safe ride.
It is very dangerous to wear a too large sized helmet. This may wobble while riding. If you wear a
too small size helmet, it tightens up and hurts your head. Thus, it is important to select the proper
size.
The helmet is designed to be retained by straps under the chin. In order to assure proper
protection, the helmet should fit your head. When worn, adjust it to rest properly on the head,
securely fasten the chinstraps to ensure safety. The chinstraps prevent the helmet from coming off
in most cases.
In order to fully maintain the performance of this helmet, do not attempt to take apart or change the
helmet in any manner such as making holes in it or cutting it.
Liners are essential for the intended performance of the helmet.
This helmet has been designed to absorb the impact energy when components as shell and liners
are partially destroyed by an impact.
Even if visually no damage is apparent, it could be seriously damaged by a small impact.
Regardless of the degree of damage, the helmet that underwent an impact or was abused even
only once should not be used anymore.
Always handle the helmet with care and make sure that no one sits on it or drops it.
Never use the helmet once impacted
Clean the helmet with soft cloth, using common ph-neutral detergent diluted with clear water. The
cloth should not be soaking wet. Then wipe the helmet gently with a clean wet soft cloth and leave
it to dry completely, but not in direct sunlight.
With regard to helmets with removable interiors, carefully read the instruction manual for that
model before attempting to remove the interiors and carry out cleaning according to the
explanation provided. To clean the helmet do not use saline water or hot water (above 50ºC).
Never modify the helmet
Select the proper size!
The storage of the helmet
Shield care and cleaning
Notes for use of full-face helmet
After using the helmet, stow it away in the helmet bag and store on a level place such as a shelf;
the helmet may be damaged if it rolls around or falls down.
Do not leave the helmet in direct heat above 50ºC e.g. next to a heater or under direct sunlight in a
car.
Cautions for shield
If the visor is marked “Day Time Use Only”, visibility is limited to daylight conditions and it is not
suitable for use at night.
Tinted lenses are not suitable for use at night.
A visor and goggles with scratches lowers the visibility and this is very dangerous. Such visors
should never be used at night and should be replaced.
Contact with petroleum products and other solvents may impair the optical properties and weaken
the strength of the visor.
Never try to open or close nor remove the visor while riding.
After using your helmet, with a wet soft cloth, lightly wipe off any grime (e.g. dead insects, dirt,
sand, dust, etc.) on the shield and then fully wipe it clean using a dry soft cloth. When the shield
gets wet (e.g. rainwater), it should always be wiped with a soft cloth after use.
When cleaning the shield, never use any petroleum-based solvents or detergents containing
abrasives.
Contact with petroleum products and other solvents may impair the optical properties and reduce
the mechanical strength.
To clean the shield, apply some common ph-neutral detergent diluted with clear water using a soft
cloth and wipe gently. Finally, wipe it dry with a lint-free soft cloth. To clean the shield, do not use
saline water or hot water (above 50ºC).
When you wear a full-face helmet, the temperature in the helmet is maintained nearly constant
while riding but the surroundings are constantly changing since you are moving at a high speed.
For this reason, in case of sudden rain, entering a tunnel or in a place with a large height
difference, the shield can be fogged suddenly because of the difference in temperature
in-and-outside the helmet.
In case such a risk is expected, please use caution with adjusting the shield or slowing down your
speed in advance.
Never open or close the shield nor adjust the ventilation shutter while riding since it is very
dangerous. Adjust the shield before riding.
Any paint, glue, adhesive stickers, etc. (or the use of detergents and solvents other than those
prescribed) may not only reduce the original protective performance of the helmet considerably,
but may also cause damage to the helmet that cannot be detected by the naked eye.
Do not paint or apply solvent
Handle your helmet with care
Do not toss your helmet over a floor or sit on it. The helmet absorbs an impact every time it is
handled roughly and its impact-absorbing capacity will be decreased. Handle your helmet with
care to assure its full intended function in the event of an accident.
Do not use your helmet for any purpose other than to use for protecting your head while riding.
Fasten the chinstraps before riding

The ventilation system effectively takes
outer air in and pushes the inner humid
air out by the air pressure from the front
while riding. The ventilations are
equipped with a shutter which prevents
cold air and water drops from coming
into your helmet.
The Wake Stabilizer PATENTED , KABUTO’s
unique system, is developed by analyzing the
results of wind tunnel experiments at several
angles. This unique system controls the airflow
around the helmet and reduces loads while
riding.

WARNING!
● Operating the shutter while riding is very dangerous. Never operate the
shutter while riding. Operate it before riding.
● The air-ducts (air intakes and discharge holes) of the head ventilations and
the rear ventilation are designed in the proper sizes and quantities
considered a large impact in the event of accidents and falling down.
Customizing by enlarging or making more air-ducts would reduce the safety
performances significantly and can cause serious injuries in case of an
accident. Never customize your helmet.
CAUTION
●The shield is so constructed that it cannot
be removed unless it is moved up to the
highest position.
●Do not pull or twist the shield by force to
remove it. Such action may damage the
shield and ratchet system.
●●Handle the removed shield with care in
order not to damage it.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto
dealer. (See Pages 23 to 25).
Please be informed that we may not accept repairing, in the case the safety
performance of the helmet will be degraded.

NOTES BEFORE USE
Thank you very much for purchasing a KABUTO helmet.
This Instruction Manual describes proper handling, various functions and
remove/replace each part of this helmet. Please read this Instruction Manual
thoroughly prior to use.
After reading this, keep this Manual for future reference.
The helmet is just one element of protection, it is intended to minimize the risk
in the event of an accident. It cannot ensure complete safety.
Use this helmet properly based on this understanding.
Please understand and follow the instructions and information in this
Instruction Manual to enjoy your safe ride.
It is very dangerous to wear a too large sized helmet. This may wobble while riding. If you wear a
too small size helmet, it tightens up and hurts your head. Thus, it is important to select the proper
size.
The helmet is designed to be retained by straps under the chin. In order to assure proper
protection, the helmet should fit your head. When worn, adjust it to rest properly on the head,
securely fasten the chinstraps to ensure safety. The chinstraps prevent the helmet from coming off
in most cases.
In order to fully maintain the performance of this helmet, do not attempt to take apart or change the
helmet in any manner such as making holes in it or cutting it.
Liners are essential for the intended performance of the helmet.
This helmet has been designed to absorb the impact energy when components as shell and liners
are partially destroyed by an impact.
Even if visually no damage is apparent, it could be seriously damaged by a small impact.
Regardless of the degree of damage, the helmet that underwent an impact or was abused even
only once should not be used anymore.
Always handle the helmet with care and make sure that no one sits on it or drops it.
Never use the helmet once impacted
Clean the helmet with soft cloth, using common ph-neutral detergent diluted with clear water. The
cloth should not be soaking wet. Then wipe the helmet gently with a clean wet soft cloth and leave
it to dry completely, but not in direct sunlight.
With regard to helmets with removable interiors, carefully read the instruction manual for that
model before attempting to remove the interiors and carry out cleaning according to the
explanation provided. To clean the helmet do not use saline water or hot water (above 50ºC).
Never modify the helmet
Select the proper size!
The storage of the helmet
Shield care and cleaning
Notes for use of full-face helmet
After using the helmet, stow it away in the helmet bag and store on a level place such as a shelf;
the helmet may be damaged if it rolls around or falls down.
Do not leave the helmet in direct heat above 50ºC e.g. next to a heater or under direct sunlight in a
car.
Cautions for shield
If the visor is marked “Day Time Use Only”, visibility is limited to daylight conditions and it is not
suitable for use at night.
Tinted lenses are not suitable for use at night.
A visor and goggles with scratches lowers the visibility and this is very dangerous. Such visors
should never be used at night and should be replaced.
Contact with petroleum products and other solvents may impair the optical properties and weaken
the strength of the visor.
Never try to open or close nor remove the visor while riding.
After using your helmet, with a wet soft cloth, lightly wipe off any grime (e.g. dead insects, dirt,
sand, dust, etc.) on the shield and then fully wipe it clean using a dry soft cloth. When the shield
gets wet (e.g. rainwater), it should always be wiped with a soft cloth after use.
When cleaning the shield, never use any petroleum-based solvents or detergents containing
abrasives.
Contact with petroleum products and other solvents may impair the optical properties and reduce
the mechanical strength.
To clean the shield, apply some common ph-neutral detergent diluted with clear water using a soft
cloth and wipe gently. Finally, wipe it dry with a lint-free soft cloth. To clean the shield, do not use
saline water or hot water (above 50ºC).
When you wear a full-face helmet, the temperature in the helmet is maintained nearly constant
while riding but the surroundings are constantly changing since you are moving at a high speed.
For this reason, in case of sudden rain, entering a tunnel or in a place with a large height
difference, the shield can be fogged suddenly because of the difference in temperature
in-and-outside the helmet.
In case such a risk is expected, please use caution with adjusting the shield or slowing down your
speed in advance.
Never open or close the shield nor adjust the ventilation shutter while riding since it is very
dangerous. Adjust the shield before riding.
Any paint, glue, adhesive stickers, etc. (or the use of detergents and solvents other than those
prescribed) may not only reduce the original protective performance of the helmet considerably,
but may also cause damage to the helmet that cannot be detected by the naked eye.
Do not paint or apply solvent
Handle your helmet with care
Do not toss your helmet over a floor or sit on it. The helmet absorbs an impact every time it is
handled roughly and its impact-absorbing capacity will be decreased. Handle your helmet with
care to assure its full intended function in the event of an accident.
Do not use your helmet for any purpose other than to use for protecting your head while riding.

The ventilation system effectively takes
outer air in and pushes the inner humid
air out by the air pressure from the front
while riding. The ventilations are
equipped with a shutter which prevents
cold air and water drops from coming
into your helmet.
The Wake Stabilizer PATENTED , KABUTO’s
unique system, is developed by analyzing the
results of wind tunnel experiments at several
angles. This unique system controls the airflow
around the helmet and reduces loads while
riding.

Original Insert Lens.
●Please be informed that if you are riding with the ventilations closed or using the
Wind Shutter, may cause the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens to become fogged.

●The interiors of this helmet are washable by a washing machine. Put each pad in a washing
net and wash them separately.
●Use detergent in cold water or warm water for cleaning. Never use hot water, chemical
detergents, and organic solvents for cleaning the pads. The use of these agents may degrade
the quality and damage the pads.
●Even commercially-available detergent may cause a little discolouration of the pad depending
on the type of detergent. Thus, please wash each pad separately as much as practical.
●If the pad is washed in a washing machine having a drying function in which the temperature is
increased to 50ºC or more, it may cause deterioration in quality and damage of the pads.
Do not use such a device for cleaning of the pad.
●Drain a pad after washing and dry the pad in shade so that it is not exposed to direct sunlight.
After making sure that it is dried enough, attach it on the helmet.
●The inner pad and the cheek pad are consumable items. Even under normal usage, the fabric
material and inner foam may be worn and deteriorated depending on the frequency of usage.
Please replace the pads with new ones as appropriate.

NOTES BEFORE USE
Thank you very much for purchasing a KABUTO helmet.
This Instruction Manual describes proper handling, various functions and
remove/replace each part of this helmet. Please read this Instruction Manual
thoroughly prior to use.
After reading this, keep this Manual for future reference.
The helmet is just one element of protection, it is intended to minimize the risk
in the event of an accident. It cannot ensure complete safety.
Use this helmet properly based on this understanding.
Please understand and follow the instructions and information in this
Instruction Manual to enjoy your safe ride.
It is very dangerous to wear a too large sized helmet. This may wobble while riding. If you wear a
too small size helmet, it tightens up and hurts your head. Thus, it is important to select the proper
size.
The helmet is designed to be retained by straps under the chin. In order to assure proper
protection, the helmet should fit your head. When worn, adjust it to rest properly on the head,
securely fasten the chinstraps to ensure safety. The chinstraps prevent the helmet from coming off
in most cases.
In order to fully maintain the performance of this helmet, do not attempt to take apart or change the
helmet in any manner such as making holes in it or cutting it.
Liners are essential for the intended performance of the helmet.
This helmet has been designed to absorb the impact energy when components as shell and liners
are partially destroyed by an impact.
Even if visually no damage is apparent, it could be seriously damaged by a small impact.
Regardless of the degree of damage, the helmet that underwent an impact or was abused even
only once should not be used anymore.
Always handle the helmet with care and make sure that no one sits on it or drops it.
Never use the helmet once impacted
Clean the helmet with soft cloth, using common ph-neutral detergent diluted with clear water. The
cloth should not be soaking wet. Then wipe the helmet gently with a clean wet soft cloth and leave
it to dry completely, but not in direct sunlight.
With regard to helmets with removable interiors, carefully read the instruction manual for that
model before attempting to remove the interiors and carry out cleaning according to the
explanation provided. To clean the helmet do not use saline water or hot water (above 50ºC).
Never modify the helmet
Select the proper size!
The storage of the helmet
Shield care and cleaning
Notes for use of full-face helmet
After using the helmet, stow it away in the helmet bag and store on a level place such as a shelf;
the helmet may be damaged if it rolls around or falls down.
Do not leave the helmet in direct heat above 50ºC e.g. next to a heater or under direct sunlight in a
car.
Cautions for shield
If the visor is marked “Day Time Use Only”, visibility is limited to daylight conditions and it is not
suitable for use at night.
Tinted lenses are not suitable for use at night.
A visor and goggles with scratches lowers the visibility and this is very dangerous. Such visors
should never be used at night and should be replaced.
Contact with petroleum products and other solvents may impair the optical properties and weaken
the strength of the visor.
Never try to open or close nor remove the visor while riding.
After using your helmet, with a wet soft cloth, lightly wipe off any grime (e.g. dead insects, dirt,
sand, dust, etc.) on the shield and then fully wipe it clean using a dry soft cloth. When the shield
gets wet (e.g. rainwater), it should always be wiped with a soft cloth after use.
When cleaning the shield, never use any petroleum-based solvents or detergents containing
abrasives.
Contact with petroleum products and other solvents may impair the optical properties and reduce
the mechanical strength.
To clean the shield, apply some common ph-neutral detergent diluted with clear water using a soft
cloth and wipe gently. Finally, wipe it dry with a lint-free soft cloth. To clean the shield, do not use
saline water or hot water (above 50ºC).
When you wear a full-face helmet, the temperature in the helmet is maintained nearly constant
while riding but the surroundings are constantly changing since you are moving at a high speed.
For this reason, in case of sudden rain, entering a tunnel or in a place with a large height
difference, the shield can be fogged suddenly because of the difference in temperature
in-and-outside the helmet.
In case such a risk is expected, please use caution with adjusting the shield or slowing down your
speed in advance.
Never open or close the shield nor adjust the ventilation shutter while riding since it is very
dangerous. Adjust the shield before riding.
Any paint, glue, adhesive stickers, etc. (or the use of detergents and solvents other than those
prescribed) may not only reduce the original protective performance of the helmet considerably,
but may also cause damage to the helmet that cannot be detected by the naked eye.
Do not paint or apply solvent
Handle your helmet with care
Do not toss your helmet over a floor or sit on it. The helmet absorbs an impact every time it is
handled roughly and its impact-absorbing capacity will be decreased. Handle your helmet with
care to assure its full intended function in the event of an accident.
Do not use your helmet for any purpose other than to use for protecting your head while riding.

The ventilation system effectively takes
outer air in and pushes the inner humid
air out by the air pressure from the front
while riding. The ventilations are
equipped with a shutter which prevents
cold air and water drops from coming
into your helmet.
The Wake Stabilizer PATENTED , KABUTO’s
unique system, is developed by analyzing the
results of wind tunnel experiments at several
angles. This unique system controls the airflow
around the helmet and reduces loads while
riding.

conditions and easy maintenance.
6Single Action Shield SystemPATENTED
WARNING!
● Operating the shutter while riding is very dangerous. Never operate the
shutter while riding. Operate it before riding.
● The air-ducts (air intakes and discharge holes) of the head ventilations and
the rear ventilation are designed in the proper sizes and quantities
considered a large impact in the event of accidents and falling down.
Customizing by enlarging or making more air-ducts would reduce the safety
performances significantly and can cause serious injuries in case of an
accident. Never customize your helmet.
CAUTION
●The shield is so constructed that it cannot
be removed unless it is moved up to the
highest position.
●Do not pull or twist the shield by force to
remove it. Such action may damage the
shield and ratchet system.
●●Handle the removed shield with care in
order not to damage it.

●The interiors of this helmet are washable by a washing machine. Put each pad in a washing
net and wash them separately.
●Use detergent in cold water or warm water for cleaning. Never use hot water, chemical
detergents, and organic solvents for cleaning the pads. The use of these agents may degrade
the quality and damage the pads.
●Even commercially-available detergent may cause a little discolouration of the pad depending
on the type of detergent. Thus, please wash each pad separately as much as practical.
●If the pad is washed in a washing machine having a drying function in which the temperature is
increased to 50ºC or more, it may cause deterioration in quality and damage of the pads.
Do not use such a device for cleaning of the pad.
●Drain a pad after washing and dry the pad in shade so that it is not exposed to direct sunlight.
After making sure that it is dried enough, attach it on the helmet.
●The inner pad and the cheek pad are consumable items. Even under normal usage, the fabric
material and inner foam may be worn and deteriorated depending on the frequency of usage.
Please replace the pads with new ones as appropriate.

NOTES BEFORE USE
Thank you very much for purchasing a KABUTO helmet.
This Instruction Manual describes proper handling, various functions and
remove/replace each part of this helmet. Please read this Instruction Manual
thoroughly prior to use.
After reading this, keep this Manual for future reference.
The helmet is just one element of protection, it is intended to minimize the risk
in the event of an accident. It cannot ensure complete safety.
Use this helmet properly based on this understanding.
Please understand and follow the instructions and information in this
Instruction Manual to enjoy your safe ride.
It is very dangerous to wear a too large sized helmet. This may wobble while riding. If you wear a
too small size helmet, it tightens up and hurts your head. Thus, it is important to select the proper
size.
The helmet is designed to be retained by straps under the chin. In order to assure proper
protection, the helmet should fit your head. When worn, adjust it to rest properly on the head,
securely fasten the chinstraps to ensure safety. The chinstraps prevent the helmet from coming off
in most cases.
In order to fully maintain the performance of this helmet, do not attempt to take apart or change the
helmet in any manner such as making holes in it or cutting it.
Liners are essential for the intended performance of the helmet.
This helmet has been designed to absorb the impact energy when components as shell and liners
are partially destroyed by an impact.
Even if visually no damage is apparent, it could be seriously damaged by a small impact.
Regardless of the degree of damage, the helmet that underwent an impact or was abused even
only once should not be used anymore.
Always handle the helmet with care and make sure that no one sits on it or drops it.
Never use the helmet once impacted
Clean the helmet with soft cloth, using common ph-neutral detergent diluted with clear water. The
cloth should not be soaking wet. Then wipe the helmet gently with a clean wet soft cloth and leave
it to dry completely, but not in direct sunlight.
With regard to helmets with removable interiors, carefully read the instruction manual for that
model before attempting to remove the interiors and carry out cleaning according to the
explanation provided. To clean the helmet do not use saline water or hot water (above 50ºC).
Never modify the helmet
Select the proper size!
The storage of the helmet
Shield care and cleaning
Notes for use of full-face helmet
After using the helmet, stow it away in the helmet bag and store on a level place such as a shelf;
the helmet may be damaged if it rolls around or falls down.
Do not leave the helmet in direct heat above 50ºC e.g. next to a heater or under direct sunlight in a
car.
Cautions for shield
If the visor is marked “Day Time Use Only”, visibility is limited to daylight conditions and it is not
suitable for use at night.
Tinted lenses are not suitable for use at night.
A visor and goggles with scratches lowers the visibility and this is very dangerous. Such visors
should never be used at night and should be replaced.
Contact with petroleum products and other solvents may impair the optical properties and weaken
the strength of the visor.
Never try to open or close nor remove the visor while riding.
After using your helmet, with a wet soft cloth, lightly wipe off any grime (e.g. dead insects, dirt,
sand, dust, etc.) on the shield and then fully wipe it clean using a dry soft cloth. When the shield
gets wet (e.g. rainwater), it should always be wiped with a soft cloth after use.
When cleaning the shield, never use any petroleum-based solvents or detergents containing
abrasives.
Contact with petroleum products and other solvents may impair the optical properties and reduce
the mechanical strength.
To clean the shield, apply some common ph-neutral detergent diluted with clear water using a soft
cloth and wipe gently. Finally, wipe it dry with a lint-free soft cloth. To clean the shield, do not use
saline water or hot water (above 50ºC).
When you wear a full-face helmet, the temperature in the helmet is maintained nearly constant
while riding but the surroundings are constantly changing since you are moving at a high speed.
For this reason, in case of sudden rain, entering a tunnel or in a place with a large height
difference, the shield can be fogged suddenly because of the difference in temperature
in-and-outside the helmet.
In case such a risk is expected, please use caution with adjusting the shield or slowing down your
speed in advance.
Never open or close the shield nor adjust the ventilation shutter while riding since it is very
dangerous. Adjust the shield before riding.
Any paint, glue, adhesive stickers, etc. (or the use of detergents and solvents other than those
prescribed) may not only reduce the original protective performance of the helmet considerably,
but may also cause damage to the helmet that cannot be detected by the naked eye.
Do not paint or apply solvent
Handle your helmet with care
Do not toss your helmet over a floor or sit on it. The helmet absorbs an impact every time it is
handled roughly and its impact-absorbing capacity will be decreased. Handle your helmet with
care to assure its full intended function in the event of an accident.
Do not use your helmet for any purpose other than to use for protecting your head while riding.

The “Single Action Shield System PATENTED” is the shield replacement system
developed by KABUTO. The system allows quick shield replacement for riding and
racing conditions and easy maintenance.
6Single Action Shield SystemPAT.P.
WARNING
●Operating the shutter while riding is very dangerous. Never operate the
shutter while riding. Operate it before riding.
●The air-ducts (air intakes and discharge holes) of the head ventilations and the
Top Aero-Ventilation are designed in the proper sizes and quantities
considered a large impact in the event of accidents and falling down.
Customizing by enlarging or making more air-ducts would reduce the safety
performances significantly and can cause serious injuries in case of an
accident. Never customize your helmet.
CAUTION
●The shield is so constructed that it cannot
be removed unless it is moved up to the
highest position.
●Do not pull or twist the shield by force to
remove it. Such action may damage the
shield and ratchet system.
●Handle the removed shield with care in
order not to damage it.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized dealer (See
Pages 23 to 25).
Please be informed that we may not accept repairing, in the case the safety
performance of the helmet will be degraded.
How to remove the shield:
aMove the shield up(Fig. 1). (Move it up as far as it
goes.)
bAs shown in Fig. 2, pull the shield in the direction of
the arrow while pressing down the release button on
the shield. One side of the shield is completely
removed.
＊The shield can be removed easily by pulling it along
the angle of the end of release button.
cRepeat the same procedure for removing the other
side of the shield. Then the entire shield can be
completely removed.

it goes, then the shield can be attached. Follow the
same procedure to attach the shield on the other
side. (DThe installation of the shield is complete).
WARNING
●After the installation of the shield, make sure the shield is securely installed
and that it is properly opened and closed before riding. If the shield does not
work properly, or is installed insecurely, it may cause a failure in opening and
closing the shield or lead to the removal of the shield while riding, thereby
causing a great risk. If the opening and closing operations are not properly
performed or abnormal noise is heard during these operations, check the
steps in the installation procedure and repeat the installation procedure from
the start.
●The shield is a consumable item. If the shield surface is damaged by a bug,
stone, etc. hitting on the surface, it may hinder the vision, thereby causing a
great risk. If the shield gets extremely dirty or scratched, replace it with a new
one.

Instruction Manual
PRIOR TO USE, READ THIS INSTRUCTION
MANUAL THOROUGHLY AND KEEP THIS
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
BEFORE USE
NOTES BEFORE USE
Thank you very much for purchasing a KABUTO helmet.
This Instruction Manual describes proper handling, various functions and
remove/replace each part of this helmet. Please read this Instruction Manual
thoroughly prior to use.
After reading this, keep this Manual for future reference.
The helmet is just one element of protection, it is intended to minimize the risk
in the event of an accident. It cannot ensure complete safety.
Use this helmet properly based on this understanding.
Please understand and follow the instructions and information in this
Instruction Manual to enjoy your safe ride.
It is very dangerous to wear a too large sized helmet. This may wobble while riding. If you wear a
too small size helmet, it tightens up and hurts your head. Thus, it is important to select the proper
size.
The helmet is designed to be retained by straps under the chin. In order to assure proper
protection, the helmet should fit your head. When worn, adjust it to rest properly on the head,
securely fasten the chinstraps to ensure safety. The chinstraps prevent the helmet from coming off
in most cases.
In order to fully maintain the performance of this helmet, do not attempt to take apart or change the
helmet in any manner such as making holes in it or cutting it.
Liners are essential for the intended performance of the helmet.
This helmet has been designed to absorb the impact energy when components as shell and liners
are partially destroyed by an impact.
Even if visually no damage is apparent, it could be seriously damaged by a small impact.
Regardless of the degree of damage, the helmet that underwent an impact or was abused even
only once should not be used anymore.
Always handle the helmet with care and make sure that no one sits on it or drops it.
Never use the helmet once impacted
Clean the helmet with soft cloth, using common ph-neutral detergent diluted with clear water. The
cloth should not be soaking wet. Then wipe the helmet gently with a clean wet soft cloth and leave
it to dry completely, but not in direct sunlight.
With regard to helmets with removable interiors, carefully read the instruction manual for that
model before attempting to remove the interiors and carry out cleaning according to the
explanation provided. To clean the helmet do not use saline water or hot water (above 50ºC).
Never modify the helmet
Select the proper size!
The storage of the helmet
Shield care and cleaning
Notes for use of full-face helmet
After using the helmet, stow it away in the helmet bag and store on a level place such as a shelf;
the helmet may be damaged if it rolls around or falls down.
Do not leave the helmet in direct heat above 50ºC e.g. next to a heater or under direct sunlight in a
car.
Cautions for shield
If the visor is marked “Day Time Use Only”, visibility is limited to daylight conditions and it is not
suitable for use at night.
Tinted lenses are not suitable for use at night.
A visor and goggles with scratches lowers the visibility and this is very dangerous. Such visors
should never be used at night and should be replaced.
Contact with petroleum products and other solvents may impair the optical properties and weaken
the strength of the visor.
Never try to open or close nor remove the visor while riding.
After using your helmet, with a wet soft cloth, lightly wipe off any grime (e.g. dead insects, dirt,
sand, dust, etc.) on the shield and then fully wipe it clean using a dry soft cloth. When the shield
gets wet (e.g. rainwater), it should always be wiped with a soft cloth after use.
When cleaning the shield, never use any petroleum-based solvents or detergents containing
abrasives.
Contact with petroleum products and other solvents may impair the optical properties and reduce
the mechanical strength.
To clean the shield, apply some common ph-neutral detergent diluted with clear water using a soft
cloth and wipe gently. Finally, wipe it dry with a lint-free soft cloth. To clean the shield, do not use
saline water or hot water (above 50ºC).
When you wear a full-face helmet, the temperature in the helmet is maintained nearly constant
while riding but the surroundings are constantly changing since you are moving at a high speed.
For this reason, in case of sudden rain, entering a tunnel or in a place with a large height
difference, the shield can be fogged suddenly because of the difference in temperature
in-and-outside the helmet.
In case such a risk is expected, please use caution with adjusting the shield or slowing down your
speed in advance.
Never open or close the shield nor adjust the ventilation shutter while riding since it is very
dangerous. Adjust the shield before riding.
Any paint, glue, adhesive stickers, etc. (or the use of detergents and solvents other than those
prescribed) may not only reduce the original protective performance of the helmet considerably,
but may also cause damage to the helmet that cannot be detected by the naked eye.
Do not paint or apply solvent
Handle your helmet with care
Do not toss your helmet over a floor or sit on it. The helmet absorbs an impact every time it is
handled roughly and its impact-absorbing capacity will be decreased. Handle your helmet with
care to assure its full intended function in the event of an accident.
Do not use your helmet for any purpose other than to use for protecting your head while riding.
Fasten the chinstraps before riding
