the D-rings and pull it snug. Keeping your head straight,
rotate the KBC motorcycle helmets

you should feel the movement of your scalp closely match
the KBC motorcycle helmets's movement. With your hands on
the sides of the KBC motorcycle helmets,
move the KBC motorcycle helmets in a slight up and down
motion. Once again, the movement of your skin should follow
the KBC motorcycle helmets movement. To remove the KBC
motorcycle helmets, pull the D-ring tab outward

motorcycle helmets forward and lift it off.

helmets must fit snugly and provide an exact
and comfortable fit.

shell and inner liner) and even though damage may not be
apparent, KBC motorcycle helmets
should be replaced after any impact whatsoever.
3. To maintain the full efficiency of KBC motorcycle
helmets, there must be no alteration to the
structure of KBC motorcycle helmets

SIZING FIT AND POSITION

In order to be safe, you must select your KBC
motorcycle helmets in a size which fits your
head correctly. This means the KBC motorcycle helmets must
fit snugly (tightly but comfortably), making contact with
most parts of your head. If it is too large, it will move
around excessively on your head. If it is too small it will
cause constriction and discomfort, which could lead to headaches
or a lack of concentration while riding. To test the sizing,
put the KBC motorcycle helmets
on and shake your head to left and right. Then shake your
head forward and backward. If it slips easily in any direction,
the size is not the correct one for you. Try to turn the
KBC motorcycle helmets with your
hands. With the KBC motorcycle helmets on, rotate the KBC
motorcycle helmets from side to side, observing
the movement of your skin in relation to the KBC
motorcycle helmets. KBC motorcycle helmets
fitting is correct when skin movement and KBC
motorcycle helmets movement is nearly the
same. For proper sizing of your new KBC motorcycle helmets,
please consult an authorized KBC dealer.
CAUTION:

Do not put on the KBC motorcycle helmets
and fasten the buckle when your KBC motorcycle helmets are
hanging on the back of your head. Remember to always wear
the KBC motorcycle helmets in
the correct position.
IMPORTANT FITTING ROTATIONAL TEST:
THE MOST IMPORTANT TEST IS TO ENSURE THAT THE KBC MOTORCYCLE
HELMETS REMAINS ON THE HEAD IN THE EVENT OF AN IMPACT. TO
PERFORM THIS TEST, FIRST FIT THE KBC MOTORCYCLE HELMETS
CORRECTLY AND FASTEN THE STRAP SNUGLY. THEN USING YOUR HANDS,
ATTEMPT TO LIFT FROM THE REAR OF THE NECK AREA AND TRY TO
ROLL THE KBC MOTORCYCLE HELMETS OFF OF YOUR HEAD. MAKE SURE

REMAIN TIGHTLY FIXED TO YOUR HEAD AND THAT THE STRAP PREVENTS
THE HELMET FROM COMING OFF OF YOUR HEAD.
