D. THE HELMET
Caution:
Never ride in the dark or in conditions of poor visibility with
the sun visor down. Always raise the sun visor before entering
a tunnel.
Caution:
Riding without the Face Shield or with an open Face Shield
can result in injury to the eyes and face from stones, dust,
insects and other flying objects. The sun visor, when lowered,
will offer a certain amount of protection from light impact
from stones or insects but does not provide protection against
all hazards.
REPLACING THE SUN VISOR
The sun visor can be replaced without tools.
Tip:
To avoid fingerprints and scratches, use a soft, clean cloth (we
recommend a microfibre cloth) to hold the sun visor when
removing or fitting it.
Tip:
Changing the sun visor is easier when the chin section is
open and locked in place. It is also helpful if you place the
helmet on a flat surface or on your lap while seated.
Note:
Try to prevent the sun visor coming into contact with the
helmet's inner shell when removing or fitting it.

Removing the sun visor
1. Pivot the sun visor down.
2. Bend the middle snap connection
with locating pegs gently outwards
until the sun visor is released from
the holder on one side.
3. Repeat this step for the other side.
Tip:
The sun visor holders should remain in the lower position
until you re-fit the sun visor.
Fitting the sun visor
1. Put the sun visor between the
snap connections and fit it on to
the locating pegs on one side and
then on the other.
2. Position the sun visor between
helmet inner and outer shell and
lower it with the operating slide.
3. For safety, check that the sun
visor mechanism is functioning
correctly.
Warning:
Make sure that the sun visor is properly engaged in the sun
visor sockets. If not properly engaged the sun visor comes
loose and/or falls off while you are riding, your vision may be
limited or blocked, which could cause an accident resulting in
serious personal injury or death.
