Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
It is essential to identify the specific Bell helmet series you own before purchasing this kit. The kits are categorized by the type of pivot system:
- 10 Series Pivot kit: For HP 10 and Mag 10 helmets.
- SV Pivot (SE03/SE05): For 3 and 5 Series helmets (e.g., GP3, GTX3, Sport 5, GT5 Sport, HP5).
- SV Pivot (SE06/SE07/SE077): For 6 and 7 Series helmets (e.g., HP6, GT6, KC7-CMR, KC7-EV, RS7, HP7, HP77).
- Kam-Lock: For most models manufactured up to 2004.
Refer to your helmet's manual or the Bell website for precise compatibility information if unsure.
Setup:
- Carefully remove the old visor and any existing pivot screws or mechanisms.
- Identify the correct parts from the new kit for your helmet model.
- Align the visor with the helmet mounting points.
- Insert the new pivots and screws, tightening them gently but securely. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the helmet or visor.
- Ensure the visor moves smoothly and latches correctly.
Care:
- Periodically check the tightness of the pivot screws and mechanisms, especially after significant use or impact.
- Clean the pivots and screws with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could degrade the plastic or metal components.
