6. VISOR
To clean your visor use warm water (use demineralized water if available) and neutral soap.
Avoid using water containing too much chlorine. Do not use alcohol, gasoline or other solvents
or window cleaning products which could contain alcohol. Remove the visor before cleaning
the internal of the helmet. Place it back only when the cleaning products are completely
evaporated
WARNING. For safety visibility - especially at night - immediately replace a scratched visor. Use
colored visors only during the day. Darker visors are not homologated and are intended for race
track use only.
Do not stick any adhesives or adhesive tape to the screen since this would weaken its protection.
This can damage the screen. Do not drive with a fogged up screen. Bad vision can provoke an
accident, causing severe injuries or even death.
7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Clean your helmet with lukewarm water only (never use hot water) and few drops of neutral soap
or use the special HELMET CLEANING PRODUCTS. Let the helmet dry at ambient temperature,
do not expose to heat sources and never use a blow drier to dry it.
- Shell Cleaning
WARNING! Only use approved methods to clean the helmet. Using other
unapproved chemicals or methods may damage the helmet shell or lining. A
damaged helmet may increase your risk of serious injury or death in an accident.
Glossy Finish : KYT recommends cleaning your helmet with products designed for automotive
cleaning and polishing. All KYT Helmets are finished with an automotive type base coat/clear coat
finish. Rubbing compounds can be used for deep cleaning to remove many scratches and scuffs.

FIGURE - B
Follow the product's instructions diligently. Over polishing with rubbing compounds can cause light
abrasions which may dull the finish of your helmet. Stickers and decals will leave adhesive residue
when removed. To remove the adhesive residue, use alcohol swabs. Be certain to immediately wipe
away the excess liquid and clean the area with soap and water once the adhesive residue is removed.
Do not use excessive pressure while rubbing when attempting to remove the adhesive residue, use
multiple light treatments instead.
Non Glossy Finish : For non Glossy Finish helmets, we recommend using warm water and mild soap.
Use multiple treatments for heavier dirt. Do not use excessive pressure or rubbing compounds
while cleaning the surface as a "glossy" effect could be created. Running the Non glossy finish
appereance.
1. Please clean helmets from dust, bugs or grass within one day.
Cleaning progress :
1) Clean the helmet with warm water and cloth.
2) If there are any remains left, dry the helmet and remove any remaining contamination with rubber
eraser.
Do not use alcohol or thinner to clean the helmet because they may damage the paint.
2. Avoid oil contamination as it is extremely difficult to clean once exposed.
- Interior Cleaning
Although we recommend changing a helmet every 3 to 5 years, the accumulation of sweat, humidity
and dirt can deteriorate the fabric and stitching and this may cause odor. To wash KYT removable
pads, hand washing is recommended. KYT does not recommend using spin dryer for the interior
pads as it may damage the material. For non removable interiors, KYT recommends using anti
bacteria and mildew eliminating products such as "Helmet Fresh." Or other similar product.
- Vent Cleaning
Dirt and debris can find its way into venting of your KYT helmet. Compressed air cans used for
cleaning computer keyboards may be used to blow the debris from the ventilation system. It is
recommended that you remove any removeable pads before doing this process.
- Shield Cleaning
The helmet shield is made of polycarbonate materials with a polyurethane abrasion resistance
coating. It should be cleaned using mild soap and warm water. Never use hot water, salt water,
benzene, thinner, gasoline or any other harsh agents. Additionally the use of commercial shield
cleaners is not recommended because they may affect the quality of the shield material. Treat
carefully when cleaning the shield to preserve the abrasion resistant coating. When deep scrathes
are visible, it is highly recommended that the helmet shield be replaced. Tinted shield are for "Day
time use only" and are not suitable for use at night or in conditions of poor visibility.
8. DO NOT MODIFY YOUR HELMET IN ANY WAY
Never try to tamper your helmet. Do not cut or drill the shell of your helmet. Do not insert screws.
Do not paint it. Do not modify the chin strap. Do not remove rubber base trim or the rubber
window trim, it could be very dangerous in case of an accident. Do not modify the comfort padding
by cutting or removing the polystyrene as this would greatly reduce the helmet shock absorption
capacity. Use only original spare part.
Modifying your helmet may increase your risk of serious injury or death in an accident.
