Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your AGV K1 S helmet comes ready to wear. Before your first ride, ensure the Double D retention system is correctly fastened for a secure fit. The `Extra Quick Release System` for the visor allows for fast, tool-free changes. To remove, locate the release mechanism on each side of the visor hinge, typically by pressing or pulling a lever, then gently unclip the visor. Installation is the reverse, ensuring it clicks securely into place. Always check the visor is fully seated before riding. For optimal anti-fog performance, consider installing a Max Pinlock insert into the visor (sold separately).
Compatibility
- Communication Systems: The helmet includes a dedicated provision for installing universal communication systems. Refer to your communication device's manual for specific installation steps, usually involving tucking speakers into ear pockets and routing wires discreetly.
- Eyewear: The interior padding is specifically designed to allow comfortable use of prescription glasses or sunglasses.
- Pinlock: The visor is `Max Pinlock-ready`, meaning it has the pins required to install a Max Pinlock anti-fog insert (not included).
Care
- Exterior Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap and water to clean the outer shell. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or materials.
- Visor Cleaning: Clean the visor with lukewarm water and a micro-fiber cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a helmet-specific visor cleaner. Do not use chemical cleaners on the Pinlock insert as it can damage the anti-fog coating.
- Interior Cleaning: The Dry-Comfort fabric interior is fully removable and washable. Gently detach the cheek pads and headliner. Hand wash them in cool water with mild soap, then air dry completely before re-installing. Ensure all components are dry to prevent mildew.
- Storage: Store your helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use a helmet bag to protect it from dust and scratches.
