CAUTION
●Do not push or twist the shield by force when installing it. Such action may
damage the shield and ratchet system.
●After the installation of the shield, be sure to pull it lightly towards the removing
direction to make sure that it is securely installed.
●After the installation of the shield is completed, open and close the shield three
to four times to make sure that the shield works properly.
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., it may hinder the vision, thereby causing a great risk. If the shield gets

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 each of the ventilations 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.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto dealer.
(See Pages 24 to 26). Please be informed that we may not accept repairing, in the
case the safety performance of the helmet will be degraded.
CAUTION
●Flex the shield properly when fitting the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Otherwise,
eccentric pins may be damaged.
●Clean the inside of the shield before applying the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Pay
attention not to touch the anti-fogging part of the silicon seal on the Pinlock® Original
Insert Lens.
●Do not use any petroleum products, thinner, glass cleaner, etc. It will degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
●Do not leave the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens where the temperature may surpass
50ºC or near a heater, neither use a drier nor fire for drying. Heat may degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
CAUTION
●Pinlock® Original Insert Lens is only for exclusive visors.
●If rain or water drops come in the space between the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens
and the shield, please detach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens from the shield and
dry them out. Then, reattach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens on the shield.
●Please remove the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens at times for maintenance. Otherwise
the silicon seal of the lens would adhere to the shield.
●Do not use any shields or pins other than exclusive ones for the Pinlock® 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.
●Please replace Pinlock® Original Insert Lens if the anti-fog performance decreases
and/or being scratched.
●Silicon seal may come into view depending on the riding position.

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 sized 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 50º).
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
Helmet care and cleaning

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 the helmet.
Ventilation System:
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.

Exchangeable Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers
●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.

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 each of the ventilations 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.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto dealer.
(See Pages 24 to 26). Please be informed that we may not accept repairing, in the
case the safety performance of the helmet will be degraded.

●Flex the shield properly when fitting the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Otherwise,
eccentric pins may be damaged.
●Clean the inside of the shield before applying the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Pay
attention not to touch the anti-fogging part of the silicon seal on the Pinlock® Original
Insert Lens.
●Do not use any petroleum products, thinner, glass cleaner, etc. It will degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
●Do not leave the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens where the temperature may surpass
50ºC or near a heater, neither use a drier nor fire for drying. Heat may degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.

Optional Parts
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 sized 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 50º).
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 the helmet.
Ventilation System:
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.

Exchangeable Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers
●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.

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 each of the ventilations 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.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto dealer.
(See Pages 24 to 26). Please be informed that we may not accept repairing, in the
case the safety performance of the helmet will be degraded.

attention not to touch the anti-fogging part of the silicon seal on the Pinlock® Original
Insert Lens.
●Do not use any petroleum products, thinner, glass cleaner, etc. It will degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
●Do not leave the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens where the temperature may surpass
50ºC or near a heater, neither use a drier nor fire for drying. Heat may degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.

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 sized 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 50º).
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
Helmet care and cleaning

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 the helmet.
Ventilation System:
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.

Exchangeable Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers
●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.

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 each of the ventilations 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.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto dealer.
(See Pages 24 to 26). Please be informed that we may not accept repairing, in the
case the safety performance of the helmet will be degraded.
CAUTION
●Flex the shield properly when fitting the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Otherwise,
eccentric pins may be damaged.
●Clean the inside of the shield before applying the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Pay
attention not to touch the anti-fogging part of the silicon seal on the Pinlock® Original
Insert Lens.
●Do not use any petroleum products, thinner, glass cleaner, etc. It will degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
●Do not leave the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens where the temperature may surpass
50ºC or near a heater, neither use a drier nor fire for drying. Heat may degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
CAUTION
●Pinlock® Original Insert Lens is only for exclusive visors.
●If rain or water drops come in the space between the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens
and the shield, please detach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens from the shield and
dry them out. Then, reattach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens on the shield.
●Please remove the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens at times for maintenance. Otherwise
the silicon seal of the lens would adhere to the shield.
●Do not use any shields or pins other than exclusive ones for the Pinlock® 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.
●Please replace Pinlock® Original Insert Lens if the anti-fog performance decreases
and/or being scratched.
●Silicon seal may come into view depending on the riding position.

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 sized 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 50º).
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
Helmet care and cleaning

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 the helmet.
Ventilation System:
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.

Exchangeable Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers
●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.

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 each of the ventilations 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.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto dealer.
(See Pages 24 to 26). Please be informed that we may not accept repairing, in the
case the safety performance of the helmet will be degraded.
CAUTION
●Flex the shield properly when fitting the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Otherwise,
eccentric pins may be damaged.
●Clean the inside of the shield before applying the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Pay
attention not to touch the anti-fogging part of the silicon seal on the Pinlock® Original
Insert Lens.
●Do not use any petroleum products, thinner, glass cleaner, etc. It will degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
●Do not leave the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens where the temperature may surpass
50ºC or near a heater, neither use a drier nor fire for drying. Heat may degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
CAUTION
●Pinlock® Original Insert Lens is only for exclusive visors.
●If rain or water drops come in the space between the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens
and the shield, please detach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens from the shield and
dry them out. Then, reattach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens on the shield.
●Please remove the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens at times for maintenance. Otherwise
the silicon seal of the lens would adhere to the shield.
●Do not use any shields or pins other than exclusive ones for the Pinlock® 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.
●Please replace Pinlock® Original Insert Lens if the anti-fog performance decreases
and/or being scratched.

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 sized 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 50º).
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
Helmet care and cleaning

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 the helmet.
Ventilation System:
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.

Exchangeable Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers
●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.

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 each of the ventilations 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.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto dealer.
(See Pages 24 to 26). Please be informed that we may not accept repairing, in the
case the safety performance of the helmet will be degraded.
CAUTION
●Flex the shield properly when fitting the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Otherwise,
eccentric pins may be damaged.
●Clean the inside of the shield before applying the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Pay
attention not to touch the anti-fogging part of the silicon seal on the Pinlock® Original
Insert Lens.
●Do not use any petroleum products, thinner, glass cleaner, etc. It will degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
●Do not leave the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens where the temperature may surpass
50ºC or near a heater, neither use a drier nor fire for drying. Heat may degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
CAUTION
●Pinlock® Original Insert Lens is only for exclusive visors.
●If rain or water drops come in the space between the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens
and the shield, please detach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens from the shield and
dry them out. Then, reattach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens on the shield.
●Please remove the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens at times for maintenance. Otherwise
the silicon seal of the lens would adhere to the shield.
●Do not use any shields or pins other than exclusive ones for the Pinlock® 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.
●Please replace Pinlock® Original Insert Lens if the anti-fog performance decreases
and/or being scratched.
●Silicon seal may come into view depending on the riding position.

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 sized 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 50º).
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
Helmet care and cleaning

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 the helmet.
Ventilation System:
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.

Exchangeable Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers
●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.

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 each of the ventilations 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.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto dealer.
(See Pages 24 to 26). Please be informed that we may not accept repairing, in the
case the safety performance of the helmet will be degraded.
CAUTION
●Flex the shield properly when fitting the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Otherwise,
eccentric pins may be damaged.
●Clean the inside of the shield before applying the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Pay
attention not to touch the anti-fogging part of the silicon seal on the Pinlock® Original
Insert Lens.
●Do not use any petroleum products, thinner, glass cleaner, etc. It will degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
●Do not leave the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens where the temperature may surpass
50ºC or near a heater, neither use a drier nor fire for drying. Heat may degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
CAUTION
●Pinlock® Original Insert Lens is only for exclusive visors.
●If rain or water drops come in the space between the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens
and the shield, please detach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens from the shield and
dry them out. Then, reattach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens on the shield.
●Please remove the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens at times for maintenance. Otherwise
the silicon seal of the lens would adhere to the shield.
●Do not use any shields or pins other than exclusive ones for the Pinlock® 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.
●Please replace Pinlock® Original Insert Lens if the anti-fog performance decreases
and/or being scratched.

Optional Parts
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 sized 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 50º).
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
Helmet care and cleaning

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 the helmet.
Ventilation System:
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.

Exchangeable Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers
●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.

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 each of the ventilations 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.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto dealer.
(See Pages 24 to 26). Please be informed that we may not accept repairing, in the
case the safety performance of the helmet will be degraded.

●Flex the shield properly when fitting the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Otherwise,
eccentric pins may be damaged.
●Clean the inside of the shield before applying the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Pay
attention not to touch the anti-fogging part of the silicon seal on the Pinlock® Original
Insert Lens.
●Do not use any petroleum products, thinner, glass cleaner, etc. It will degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
●Do not leave the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens where the temperature may surpass
50ºC or near a heater, neither use a drier nor fire for drying. Heat may degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.

Optional Parts
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 sized 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 50º).
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 the helmet.
Ventilation System:
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.

Exchangeable Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers
●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.

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 each of the ventilations 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.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto dealer.
(See Pages 24 to 26). 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 sized 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 50º).
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
Helmet care and cleaning

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 the helmet.
Ventilation System:
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.

Exchangeable Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers
●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.

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 each of the ventilations 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.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto dealer.
(See Pages 24 to 26). Please be informed that we may not accept repairing, in the
case the safety performance of the helmet will be degraded.
CAUTION
●Flex the shield properly when fitting the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Otherwise,
eccentric pins may be damaged.
●Clean the inside of the shield before applying the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Pay
attention not to touch the anti-fogging part of the silicon seal on the Pinlock® Original
Insert Lens.
●Do not use any petroleum products, thinner, glass cleaner, etc. It will degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
●Do not leave the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens where the temperature may surpass
50ºC or near a heater, neither use a drier nor fire for drying. Heat may degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
CAUTION
●Pinlock® Original Insert Lens is only for exclusive visors.
●If rain or water drops come in the space between the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens
and the shield, please detach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens from the shield and
dry them out. Then, reattach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens on the shield.
●Please remove the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens at times for maintenance. Otherwise
the silicon seal of the lens would adhere to the shield.
●Do not use any shields or pins other than exclusive ones for the Pinlock® 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.
●Please replace Pinlock® Original Insert Lens if the anti-fog performance decreases
and/or being scratched.

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 sized 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 50º).
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
Helmet care and cleaning

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 the helmet.
Ventilation System:
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.

Exchangeable Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers
●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.

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 each of the ventilations 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.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto dealer.
(See Pages 24 to 26). Please be informed that we may not accept repairing, in the
case the safety performance of the helmet will be degraded.
CAUTION
●Flex the shield properly when fitting the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Otherwise,
eccentric pins may be damaged.
●Clean the inside of the shield before applying the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Pay
attention not to touch the anti-fogging part of the silicon seal on the Pinlock® Original
Insert Lens.
●Do not use any petroleum products, thinner, glass cleaner, etc. It will degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
●Do not leave the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens where the temperature may surpass
50ºC or near a heater, neither use a drier nor fire for drying. Heat may degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
CAUTION
●Pinlock® Original Insert Lens is only for exclusive visors.
●If rain or water drops come in the space between the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens
and the shield, please detach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens from the shield and
dry them out. Then, reattach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens on the shield.
●Please remove the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens at times for maintenance. Otherwise
the silicon seal of the lens would adhere to the shield.
●Do not use any shields or pins other than exclusive ones for the Pinlock® 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.
●Please replace Pinlock® Original Insert Lens if the anti-fog performance decreases
and/or being scratched.

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 sized 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 50º).
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
Helmet care and cleaning

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 the helmet.
Ventilation System:
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.

Exchangeable Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers
●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.

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 each of the ventilations 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.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto dealer.
(See Pages 24 to 26). Please be informed that we may not accept repairing, in the
case the safety performance of the helmet will be degraded.
CAUTION
●Flex the shield properly when fitting the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Otherwise,
eccentric pins may be damaged.
●Clean the inside of the shield before applying the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Pay
attention not to touch the anti-fogging part of the silicon seal on the Pinlock® Original
Insert Lens.
●Do not use any petroleum products, thinner, glass cleaner, etc. It will degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
●Do not leave the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens where the temperature may surpass
50ºC or near a heater, neither use a drier nor fire for drying. Heat may degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
CAUTION
●Pinlock® Original Insert Lens is only for exclusive visors.
●If rain or water drops come in the space between the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens
and the shield, please detach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens from the shield and
dry them out. Then, reattach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens on the shield.
●Please remove the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens at times for maintenance. Otherwise
the silicon seal of the lens would adhere to the shield.
●Do not use any shields or pins other than exclusive ones for the Pinlock® 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.
●Please replace Pinlock® Original Insert Lens if the anti-fog performance decreases
and/or being scratched.
●Silicon seal may come into view depending on the riding position.

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 sized 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 50º).
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
Helmet care and cleaning

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 the helmet.
Ventilation System:
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.

Exchangeable Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers
●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.

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 each of the ventilations 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.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto dealer.
(See Pages 24 to 26). Please be informed that we may not accept repairing, in the
case the safety performance of the helmet will be degraded.
CAUTION
●Flex the shield properly when fitting the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Otherwise,
eccentric pins may be damaged.
●Clean the inside of the shield before applying the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Pay
attention not to touch the anti-fogging part of the silicon seal on the Pinlock® Original
Insert Lens.
●Do not use any petroleum products, thinner, glass cleaner, etc. It will degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
●Do not leave the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens where the temperature may surpass
50ºC or near a heater, neither use a drier nor fire for drying. Heat may degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
CAUTION
●Pinlock® Original Insert Lens is only for exclusive visors.
●If rain or water drops come in the space between the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens
and the shield, please detach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens from the shield and
dry them out. Then, reattach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens on the shield.
●Please remove the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens at times for maintenance. Otherwise
the silicon seal of the lens would adhere to the shield.
●Do not use any shields or pins other than exclusive ones for the Pinlock® 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.
●Please replace Pinlock® Original Insert Lens if the anti-fog performance decreases
and/or being scratched.

Optional Parts
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 sized 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 50º).
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
Helmet care and cleaning

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 the helmet.
Ventilation System:
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.

Exchangeable Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers
●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.

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 each of the ventilations 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.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto dealer.
(See Pages 24 to 26). Please be informed that we may not accept repairing, in the
case the safety performance of the helmet will be degraded.
CAUTION
●Flex the shield properly when fitting the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Otherwise,
eccentric pins may be damaged.
●Clean the inside of the shield before applying the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Pay
attention not to touch the anti-fogging part of the silicon seal on the Pinlock® Original
Insert Lens.
●Do not use any petroleum products, thinner, glass cleaner, etc. It will degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
●Do not leave the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens where the temperature may surpass
50ºC or near a heater, neither use a drier nor fire for drying. Heat may degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.

Optional Parts
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 sized 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 50º).
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 the helmet.
Ventilation System:
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.

Exchangeable Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers
●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.

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 each of the ventilations 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.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto dealer.
(See Pages 24 to 26). 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 sized 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 50º).
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
Helmet care and cleaning

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 the helmet.
Ventilation System:
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.

Exchangeable Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers
●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.

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 each of the ventilations 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.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto dealer.
(See Pages 24 to 26). Please be informed that we may not accept repairing, in the
case the safety performance of the helmet will be degraded.
CAUTION
●Flex the shield properly when fitting the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Otherwise,
eccentric pins may be damaged.
●Clean the inside of the shield before applying the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Pay
attention not to touch the anti-fogging part of the silicon seal on the Pinlock® Original
Insert Lens.
●Do not use any petroleum products, thinner, glass cleaner, etc. It will degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
●Do not leave the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens where the temperature may surpass
50ºC or near a heater, neither use a drier nor fire for drying. Heat may degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
CAUTION
●Pinlock® Original Insert Lens is only for exclusive visors.
●If rain or water drops come in the space between the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens
and the shield, please detach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens from the shield and
dry them out. Then, reattach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens on the shield.
●Please remove the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens at times for maintenance. Otherwise
the silicon seal of the lens would adhere to the shield.
●Do not use any shields or pins other than exclusive ones for the Pinlock® 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.
●Please replace Pinlock® Original Insert Lens if the anti-fog performance decreases
and/or being scratched.

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 sized 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 50º).
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
Helmet care and cleaning

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 the helmet.
Ventilation System:
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.

Exchangeable Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers
●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.

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 each of the ventilations 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.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto dealer.
(See Pages 24 to 26). Please be informed that we may not accept repairing, in the
case the safety performance of the helmet will be degraded.
CAUTION
●Flex the shield properly when fitting the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Otherwise,
eccentric pins may be damaged.
●Clean the inside of the shield before applying the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Pay
attention not to touch the anti-fogging part of the silicon seal on the Pinlock® Original
Insert Lens.
●Do not use any petroleum products, thinner, glass cleaner, etc. It will degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
●Do not leave the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens where the temperature may surpass
50ºC or near a heater, neither use a drier nor fire for drying. Heat may degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
CAUTION
●Pinlock® Original Insert Lens is only for exclusive visors.
●If rain or water drops come in the space between the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens
and the shield, please detach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens from the shield and
dry them out. Then, reattach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens on the shield.
●Please remove the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens at times for maintenance. Otherwise
the silicon seal of the lens would adhere to the shield.
●Do not use any shields or pins other than exclusive ones for the Pinlock® 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.
●Please replace Pinlock® Original Insert Lens if the anti-fog performance decreases
and/or being scratched.

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 sized 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 50º).
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
Helmet care and cleaning

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 the helmet.
Ventilation System:
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.

Exchangeable Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers
●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.

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 each of the ventilations 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.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto dealer.
(See Pages 24 to 26). Please be informed that we may not accept repairing, in the
case the safety performance of the helmet will be degraded.
CAUTION
●Flex the shield properly when fitting the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Otherwise,
eccentric pins may be damaged.
●Clean the inside of the shield before applying the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Pay
attention not to touch the anti-fogging part of the silicon seal on the Pinlock® Original
Insert Lens.
●Do not use any petroleum products, thinner, glass cleaner, etc. It will degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
●Do not leave the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens where the temperature may surpass
50ºC or near a heater, neither use a drier nor fire for drying. Heat may degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
CAUTION
●Pinlock® Original Insert Lens is only for exclusive visors.
●If rain or water drops come in the space between the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens
and the shield, please detach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens from the shield and
dry them out. Then, reattach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens on the shield.
●Please remove the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens at times for maintenance. Otherwise
the silicon seal of the lens would adhere to the shield.
●Do not use any shields or pins other than exclusive ones for the Pinlock® 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.
●Please replace Pinlock® Original Insert Lens if the anti-fog performance decreases
and/or being scratched.
●Silicon seal may come into view depending on the riding position.

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 sized 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 50º).
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
Helmet care and cleaning

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 the helmet.
Ventilation System:
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.

Exchangeable Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers
●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.

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 each of the ventilations 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.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto dealer.
(See Pages 24 to 26). Please be informed that we may not accept repairing, in the
case the safety performance of the helmet will be degraded.
CAUTION
●Flex the shield properly when fitting the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Otherwise,
eccentric pins may be damaged.
●Clean the inside of the shield before applying the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Pay
attention not to touch the anti-fogging part of the silicon seal on the Pinlock® Original
Insert Lens.
●Do not use any petroleum products, thinner, glass cleaner, etc. It will degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
●Do not leave the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens where the temperature may surpass
50ºC or near a heater, neither use a drier nor fire for drying. Heat may degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
CAUTION
●Pinlock® Original Insert Lens is only for exclusive visors.
●If rain or water drops come in the space between the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens
and the shield, please detach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens from the shield and
dry them out. Then, reattach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens on the shield.
●Please remove the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens at times for maintenance. Otherwise
the silicon seal of the lens would adhere to the shield.
●Do not use any shields or pins other than exclusive ones for the Pinlock® 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.
●Please replace Pinlock® Original Insert Lens if the anti-fog performance decreases
and/or being scratched.

Optional Parts
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 sized 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 50º).
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
Helmet care and cleaning

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 the helmet.
Ventilation System:
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.

Exchangeable Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers
●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.

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 each of the ventilations 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.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto dealer.
(See Pages 24 to 26). Please be informed that we may not accept repairing, in the
case the safety performance of the helmet will be degraded.
CAUTION
●Flex the shield properly when fitting the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Otherwise,
eccentric pins may be damaged.
●Clean the inside of the shield before applying the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Pay
attention not to touch the anti-fogging part of the silicon seal on the Pinlock® Original
Insert Lens.
●Do not use any petroleum products, thinner, glass cleaner, etc. It will degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
●Do not leave the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens where the temperature may surpass
50ºC or near a heater, neither use a drier nor fire for drying. Heat may degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.

Optional Parts
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 sized 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 50º).
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 the helmet.
Ventilation System:
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.

Exchangeable Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers
●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.

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 each of the ventilations 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.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto dealer.
(See Pages 24 to 26). 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 sized 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 50º).
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
Helmet care and cleaning

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 the helmet.
Ventilation System:
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.

Exchangeable Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers
●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.

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 each of the ventilations 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.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto dealer.
(See Pages 24 to 26). Please be informed that we may not accept repairing, in the
case the safety performance of the helmet will be degraded.
CAUTION
●Flex the shield properly when fitting the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Otherwise,
eccentric pins may be damaged.
●Clean the inside of the shield before applying the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Pay
attention not to touch the anti-fogging part of the silicon seal on the Pinlock® Original
Insert Lens.
●Do not use any petroleum products, thinner, glass cleaner, etc. It will degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
●Do not leave the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens where the temperature may surpass
50ºC or near a heater, neither use a drier nor fire for drying. Heat may degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
CAUTION
●Pinlock® Original Insert Lens is only for exclusive visors.
●If rain or water drops come in the space between the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens
and the shield, please detach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens from the shield and
dry them out. Then, reattach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens on the shield.
●Please remove the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens at times for maintenance. Otherwise
the silicon seal of the lens would adhere to the shield.
●Do not use any shields or pins other than exclusive ones for the Pinlock® 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.
●Please replace Pinlock® Original Insert Lens if the anti-fog performance decreases
and/or being scratched.

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 sized 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 50º).
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
Helmet care and cleaning

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 the helmet.
Ventilation System:
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.

Exchangeable Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers
●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.

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 each of the ventilations 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.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto dealer.
(See Pages 24 to 26). Please be informed that we may not accept repairing, in the
case the safety performance of the helmet will be degraded.
CAUTION
●Flex the shield properly when fitting the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Otherwise,
eccentric pins may be damaged.
●Clean the inside of the shield before applying the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Pay
attention not to touch the anti-fogging part of the silicon seal on the Pinlock® Original
Insert Lens.
●Do not use any petroleum products, thinner, glass cleaner, etc. It will degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
●Do not leave the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens where the temperature may surpass
50ºC or near a heater, neither use a drier nor fire for drying. Heat may degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
CAUTION
●Pinlock® Original Insert Lens is only for exclusive visors.
●If rain or water drops come in the space between the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens
and the shield, please detach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens from the shield and
dry them out. Then, reattach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens on the shield.
●Please remove the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens at times for maintenance. Otherwise
the silicon seal of the lens would adhere to the shield.
●Do not use any shields or pins other than exclusive ones for the Pinlock® 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.
●Please replace Pinlock® Original Insert Lens if the anti-fog performance decreases
and/or being scratched.

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 sized 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 50º).
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
Helmet care and cleaning

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 the helmet.
Ventilation System:
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.

Exchangeable Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers
●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.

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 each of the ventilations 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.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto dealer.
(See Pages 24 to 26). Please be informed that we may not accept repairing, in the
case the safety performance of the helmet will be degraded.
CAUTION
●Flex the shield properly when fitting the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Otherwise,
eccentric pins may be damaged.
●Clean the inside of the shield before applying the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Pay
attention not to touch the anti-fogging part of the silicon seal on the Pinlock® Original
Insert Lens.
●Do not use any petroleum products, thinner, glass cleaner, etc. It will degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
●Do not leave the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens where the temperature may surpass
50ºC or near a heater, neither use a drier nor fire for drying. Heat may degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
CAUTION
●Pinlock® Original Insert Lens is only for exclusive visors.
●If rain or water drops come in the space between the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens
and the shield, please detach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens from the shield and
dry them out. Then, reattach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens on the shield.
●Please remove the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens at times for maintenance. Otherwise
the silicon seal of the lens would adhere to the shield.
●Do not use any shields or pins other than exclusive ones for the Pinlock® 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.
●Please replace Pinlock® Original Insert Lens if the anti-fog performance decreases
and/or being scratched.
●Silicon seal may come into view depending on the riding position.

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 sized 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 50º).
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
Helmet care and cleaning

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 the helmet.
Ventilation System:
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.

Exchangeable Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers
●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.

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 each of the ventilations 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.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto dealer.
(See Pages 24 to 26). Please be informed that we may not accept repairing, in the
case the safety performance of the helmet will be degraded.
CAUTION
●Flex the shield properly when fitting the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Otherwise,
eccentric pins may be damaged.
●Clean the inside of the shield before applying the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Pay
attention not to touch the anti-fogging part of the silicon seal on the Pinlock® Original
Insert Lens.
●Do not use any petroleum products, thinner, glass cleaner, etc. It will degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
●Do not leave the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens where the temperature may surpass
50ºC or near a heater, neither use a drier nor fire for drying. Heat may degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
CAUTION
●Pinlock® Original Insert Lens is only for exclusive visors.
●If rain or water drops come in the space between the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens
and the shield, please detach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens from the shield and
dry them out. Then, reattach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens on the shield.
●Please remove the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens at times for maintenance. Otherwise
the silicon seal of the lens would adhere to the shield.
●Do not use any shields or pins other than exclusive ones for the Pinlock® 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.
●Please replace Pinlock® Original Insert Lens if the anti-fog performance decreases
and/or being scratched.

Optional Parts
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 sized 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 50º).
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
Helmet care and cleaning

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 the helmet.
Ventilation System:
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.

Exchangeable Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers
●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.

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 each of the ventilations 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.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto dealer.
(See Pages 24 to 26). Please be informed that we may not accept repairing, in the
case the safety performance of the helmet will be degraded.
CAUTION
●Flex the shield properly when fitting the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Otherwise,
eccentric pins may be damaged.
●Clean the inside of the shield before applying the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Pay
attention not to touch the anti-fogging part of the silicon seal on the Pinlock® Original
Insert Lens.
●Do not use any petroleum products, thinner, glass cleaner, etc. It will degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
●Do not leave the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens where the temperature may surpass
50ºC or near a heater, neither use a drier nor fire for drying. Heat may degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.

Optional Parts
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 sized 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 50º).
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 the helmet.
Ventilation System:
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.

Exchangeable Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers
●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.

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 each of the ventilations 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.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto dealer.
(See Pages 24 to 26). 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 sized 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 50º).
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
Helmet care and cleaning

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 the helmet.
Ventilation System:
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.

Exchangeable Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers
●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.

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 each of the ventilations 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.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto dealer.
(See Pages 24 to 26). Please be informed that we may not accept repairing, in the
case the safety performance of the helmet will be degraded.
CAUTION
●Flex the shield properly when fitting the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Otherwise,
eccentric pins may be damaged.
●Clean the inside of the shield before applying the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Pay
attention not to touch the anti-fogging part of the silicon seal on the Pinlock® Original
Insert Lens.
●Do not use any petroleum products, thinner, glass cleaner, etc. It will degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
●Do not leave the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens where the temperature may surpass
50ºC or near a heater, neither use a drier nor fire for drying. Heat may degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
CAUTION
●Pinlock® Original Insert Lens is only for exclusive visors.
●If rain or water drops come in the space between the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens
and the shield, please detach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens from the shield and
dry them out. Then, reattach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens on the shield.
●Please remove the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens at times for maintenance. Otherwise
the silicon seal of the lens would adhere to the shield.
●Do not use any shields or pins other than exclusive ones for the Pinlock® 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.
●Please replace Pinlock® Original Insert Lens if the anti-fog performance decreases
and/or being scratched.

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 sized 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 50º).
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
Helmet care and cleaning

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 the helmet.
Ventilation System:
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.

Exchangeable Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers
●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.

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 each of the ventilations 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.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto dealer.
(See Pages 24 to 26). Please be informed that we may not accept repairing, in the
case the safety performance of the helmet will be degraded.
CAUTION
●Flex the shield properly when fitting the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Otherwise,
eccentric pins may be damaged.
●Clean the inside of the shield before applying the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Pay
attention not to touch the anti-fogging part of the silicon seal on the Pinlock® Original
Insert Lens.
●Do not use any petroleum products, thinner, glass cleaner, etc. It will degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
●Do not leave the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens where the temperature may surpass
50ºC or near a heater, neither use a drier nor fire for drying. Heat may degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
CAUTION
●Pinlock® Original Insert Lens is only for exclusive visors.
●If rain or water drops come in the space between the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens
and the shield, please detach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens from the shield and
dry them out. Then, reattach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens on the shield.
●Please remove the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens at times for maintenance. Otherwise
the silicon seal of the lens would adhere to the shield.
●Do not use any shields or pins other than exclusive ones for the Pinlock® 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.
●Please replace Pinlock® Original Insert Lens if the anti-fog performance decreases
and/or being scratched.

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 sized 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 50º).
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
Helmet care and cleaning

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 the helmet.
Ventilation System:
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.

Exchangeable Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers
●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.

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 each of the ventilations 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.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto dealer.
(See Pages 24 to 26). Please be informed that we may not accept repairing, in the
case the safety performance of the helmet will be degraded.
CAUTION
●Flex the shield properly when fitting the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Otherwise,
eccentric pins may be damaged.
●Clean the inside of the shield before applying the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Pay
attention not to touch the anti-fogging part of the silicon seal on the Pinlock® Original
Insert Lens.
●Do not use any petroleum products, thinner, glass cleaner, etc. It will degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
●Do not leave the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens where the temperature may surpass
50ºC or near a heater, neither use a drier nor fire for drying. Heat may degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
CAUTION
●Pinlock® Original Insert Lens is only for exclusive visors.
●If rain or water drops come in the space between the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens
and the shield, please detach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens from the shield and
dry them out. Then, reattach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens on the shield.
●Please remove the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens at times for maintenance. Otherwise
the silicon seal of the lens would adhere to the shield.
●Do not use any shields or pins other than exclusive ones for the Pinlock® 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.
●Please replace Pinlock® Original Insert Lens if the anti-fog performance decreases
and/or being scratched.
●Silicon seal may come into view depending on the riding position.

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 sized 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 50º).
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
Helmet care and cleaning

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 the helmet.
Ventilation System:
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.

Exchangeable Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers
●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.

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 each of the ventilations 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.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto dealer.
(See Pages 24 to 26). Please be informed that we may not accept repairing, in the
case the safety performance of the helmet will be degraded.
CAUTION
●Flex the shield properly when fitting the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Otherwise,
eccentric pins may be damaged.
●Clean the inside of the shield before applying the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Pay
attention not to touch the anti-fogging part of the silicon seal on the Pinlock® Original
Insert Lens.
●Do not use any petroleum products, thinner, glass cleaner, etc. It will degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
●Do not leave the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens where the temperature may surpass
50ºC or near a heater, neither use a drier nor fire for drying. Heat may degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
CAUTION
●Pinlock® Original Insert Lens is only for exclusive visors.
●If rain or water drops come in the space between the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens
and the shield, please detach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens from the shield and
dry them out. Then, reattach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens on the shield.
●Please remove the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens at times for maintenance. Otherwise
the silicon seal of the lens would adhere to the shield.
●Do not use any shields or pins other than exclusive ones for the Pinlock® 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.
●Please replace Pinlock® Original Insert Lens if the anti-fog performance decreases
and/or being scratched.

Optional Parts
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 sized 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 50º).
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
Helmet care and cleaning

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 the helmet.
Ventilation System:
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.

Exchangeable Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers
●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.

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 each of the ventilations 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.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto dealer.
(See Pages 24 to 26). Please be informed that we may not accept repairing, in the
case the safety performance of the helmet will be degraded.
CAUTION
●Flex the shield properly when fitting the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Otherwise,
eccentric pins may be damaged.
●Clean the inside of the shield before applying the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Pay
attention not to touch the anti-fogging part of the silicon seal on the Pinlock® Original
Insert Lens.
●Do not use any petroleum products, thinner, glass cleaner, etc. It will degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
●Do not leave the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens where the temperature may surpass
50ºC or near a heater, neither use a drier nor fire for drying. Heat may degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.

Optional Parts
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 sized 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 50º).
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 the helmet.
Ventilation System:
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.

Exchangeable Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers
●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.

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 each of the ventilations 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.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto dealer.
(See Pages 24 to 26). 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 sized 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 50º).
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
Helmet care and cleaning

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 the helmet.
Ventilation System:
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.

Exchangeable Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers
●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.

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 each of the ventilations 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.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto dealer.
(See Pages 24 to 26). Please be informed that we may not accept repairing, in the
case the safety performance of the helmet will be degraded.
CAUTION
●Flex the shield properly when fitting the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Otherwise,
eccentric pins may be damaged.
●Clean the inside of the shield before applying the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Pay
attention not to touch the anti-fogging part of the silicon seal on the Pinlock® Original
Insert Lens.
●Do not use any petroleum products, thinner, glass cleaner, etc. It will degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
●Do not leave the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens where the temperature may surpass
50ºC or near a heater, neither use a drier nor fire for drying. Heat may degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
CAUTION
●Pinlock® Original Insert Lens is only for exclusive visors.
●If rain or water drops come in the space between the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens
and the shield, please detach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens from the shield and
dry them out. Then, reattach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens on the shield.
●Please remove the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens at times for maintenance. Otherwise
the silicon seal of the lens would adhere to the shield.
●Do not use any shields or pins other than exclusive ones for the Pinlock® 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.
●Please replace Pinlock® Original Insert Lens if the anti-fog performance decreases
and/or being scratched.

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 sized 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 50º).
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
Helmet care and cleaning

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 the helmet.
Ventilation System:
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.

Exchangeable Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers
●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.

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 each of the ventilations 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.
Repairing the ventilations
When each ventilation is damaged, contact your local authorized Kabuto dealer.
(See Pages 24 to 26). Please be informed that we may not accept repairing, in the
case the safety performance of the helmet will be degraded.
CAUTION
●Flex the shield properly when fitting the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Otherwise,
eccentric pins may be damaged.
●Clean the inside of the shield before applying the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens. Pay
attention not to touch the anti-fogging part of the silicon seal on the Pinlock® Original
Insert Lens.
●Do not use any petroleum products, thinner, glass cleaner, etc. It will degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
●Do not leave the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens where the temperature may surpass
50ºC or near a heater, neither use a drier nor fire for drying. Heat may degrade the
material of the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens.
CAUTION
●Pinlock® Original Insert Lens is only for exclusive visors.
●If rain or water drops come in the space between the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens
and the shield, please detach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens from the shield and
dry them out. Then, reattach the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens on the shield.
●Please remove the Pinlock® Original Insert Lens at times for maintenance. Otherwise
the silicon seal of the lens would adhere to the shield.
●Do not use any shields or pins other than exclusive ones for the Pinlock® 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.
●Please replace Pinlock® Original Insert Lens if the anti-fog performance decreases
and/or being scratched.

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 sized 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 50º).
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
Helmet care and cleaning

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 the helmet.
Ventilation System:
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.

NOTE
Exchangeable Inner Pad, Cheek Pads and Chinstrap Covers
●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.
