Fitting the helmet
and retention strap
The best way to put on the helmet is to hold the chin straps
to each side before pulling it over your head. Pass the
end of the strap through the D-rings and pull it snug. Keeping
your head straight, rotate the helmet from side to side
with your hands. If the helmet is adjusted properly, you
should feel the movement of your scalp closely match the
helmet's movement. With your hands on the sides of the helmet,
move the helmet in a slight up and down motion. Once again,
the movement of your skin should follow the helmet movement.
To remove your KBC motorcycle helmet, pull the D-ring tab outward to release
strap tension, then unthread the chin strap. Pull the chin
straps outward, rotate the helmet forward and lift it off.
