WARNING

Motorcycle helmets are an important piece of safety equipment that
could help protect and/or possibly save a rider’s life. A properly fitted
helmet is critical to the safety of every rider and passenger.
You are responsible for your own safety! No helmet can protect the
wearer against all possible or foreseeable impacts.
Step 1: Select a helmet.
Use your existing helmet size (or estimate) as a gauge
to start the fitting process. The helmets size label is
sewn onto the helmets interior comfort liner.
Step 2: Try on the helmet.
Hold the helmet in front of you. The helmet bottom
should face you with the front pointing down. Hold the
helmet retention system straps and pull outward slight-
ly. This gives your ears a bit more clearance when
pulling on a full or open face helmet. Pull the helmet
onto your head. Check your field of vision. Your vision
should not be obstructed or blocked when looking up,
down, left or right.
Step 3: Securely fasten the helmet.
Fasten the retention system as tightly as possible
under your jaw without causing pain. There must be
no slack in the retention system and it must be snug
up against your jaw. If the retention system is not tight,
your helmet may become dislodged or knocked off
in an accident. If your retention system has a snap on
the strap, do not rely on it to secure the helmet. The
snap is provided only to prevent the strap end from
flapping in the air. Fasten the retention as shown.

Step 4: Ensure a snug fit.
With the tightened retention system secure under
your jaw, take hold of the helmet with a hand on
each side. Without moving your head, try to move the
helmet up and down and side to side. The helmet
should fit as snug as possible around the crown of
your head and settle onto the top of your head. If
there is a gap between the top of your head and the
inside ceiling of the helmet, the helmet is too small. If
you can move the helmet around easily, it is too big.
When moving a proper fitting full or open face helmet,
your face, cheek and scalp skin should move with the
helmet liner.
Step 5: Check for adequate retention.
With the retention system secure under your jaw,
take hold of your helmet at the back. Try pushing the
helmet off by rotating it forward. Then put your hands
on the front of the helmet and try pushing the helmet
off by rotating it toward the rear. If the helmet is close
to coming off in either direction, covers your eyes or
touches your nose, please try another size.

pressure to remove dirt. Blot dry. Do not use paper products or paper towels
to clean or dry the face shield as this will scratch it. Before reinstalling the
face shield inspect the shield base plates. Clean the base plates and snug the
screws as needed.

duce odor caused by bacteria and mildew as well as keep your helmet feeling

may damage the adhesives that hold the liner in place. It is best to use a cleaner
designed for washing motorcycle helmet liners. Gently hand wash the liner.
Thoroughly rinse any cleaning agent. Blot with a clean cloth or towel to absorb
as much water as possible then air dry.
Removeable Liner:
Remove the liner from the helmet. Use a cleaner designed for washing mo-
torcycle helmet liners or use mild hair shampoo. Gently hand wash the liner.

as much water as possible and then air dry. Do not put the liner in the dryer.

foam can be easily damaged. Press very softly and use only warm water and a
dry cloth. Blot dry with a soft cloth or towel. Never apply heat or solvents.
