Troubleshooting
Helmet feels unstable or rocks on the head
Adjust the rear harness strap for a snugger fit or check if the helmet shape (oval vs. round) is correct for your head profile.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your YR8, adjust the harness straps until the helmet sits level on the head, with the front brim positioned about one finger-width above the eyebrows. It is vital to determine if you require an 'Oval' or 'Round' fit, as this significantly impacts safety and comfort. For care, keep the suede trim free of dust by using a soft-bristled brush. If the helmet gets wet, allow it to dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can compromise the integrity of the internal materials.
