FAQs
What HJC helmet models are compatible with these gear plates?
These gear plates are compatible with HJC helmets that use the HJ-20ST face shield, such as the HJC RPHA-ST and HJC FG-ST models.
Do I need any special tools to install these gear plates?
While not always strictly required, a small flathead screwdriver or a plastic trim removal tool can be helpful for gently prying off old plates and ensuring new ones are seated correctly. Always refer to your helmet manual.
Is the face shield included with this set?
No, this product is for the replacement gear plates only. The face shield itself is sold separately.
How do I know if my gear plates need replacing?
Symptoms include a face shield that is loose, wobbly, difficult to open or close, does not seal properly, or whistles excessively at speed.
Can I use these plates with a different type of HJC face shield?
No, these gear plates are specifically designed for the HJ-20ST face shield and will not be compatible with other HJC face shield types.
How often should I check my gear plates for wear?
It is advisable to inspect your gear plates periodically, especially if you notice any changes in face shield operation. Regular maintenance checks of your helmet are recommended.
Troubleshooting
Face shield is still loose after replacing gear plates.
Ensure the new gear plates are fully clicked into place and that no debris is obstructing the mechanism. Verify that you have the correct gear plates for your specific helmet model and face shield type.
Difficulty removing old gear plates.
Consult your helmet's manual or an online tutorial for the correct removal technique. Some plates may require specific leverage points to avoid damage to the helmet shell.
New gear plates do not seem to fit.
Double-check that you have the correct HJ-20ST gear plates and that they are oriented correctly before attempting to install. Ensure there is no obstruction in the helmet's mounting points.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Compatibility: This gear plate set is specifically designed for HJC helmets that use the HJ-20ST face shield. This primarily includes models such as the HJC RPHA-ST and HJC FG-ST. Always verify your helmet model and face shield type before purchasing.
Setup/Installation: Installation involves carefully removing the old gear plates and installing the new ones. Typically, this requires gently prying off the old plates and snapping the new ones into place. It is recommended to consult your HJC helmet's manual or an official HJC video tutorial for detailed, model-specific installation steps. Ensure the new plates click securely into position before attempting to attach the face shield.
Care: These gear plates do not require special cleaning. They are part of the helmet's mechanism and should be kept free of dirt and debris. If they become dirty, wipe them gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as these could damage the plastic components. Regular inspection for wear and tear is advised.
