FAQs
What is the primary benefit of wearing a kidney belt?
The primary benefit is to provide lumbar support, reduce fatigue, and help maintain good posture during activities that involve prolonged sitting or vibration, such as long motorcycle rides.
Can I wear this kidney belt under my motorcycle jacket?
Yes, the LS2 Koku Wide Kidney Belt is designed to be worn comfortably under most motorcycle jackets. It is relatively slim and fits well over a base layer.
How do I determine the correct size?
The belt features a dual elastic waistband with Velcro fastening, designed to fit a range of sizes. It is recommended to try it on and adjust the Velcro for a snug, supportive fit that does not restrict breathing.
Is the mesh material effective in hot weather?
The breathable mesh material is designed to promote ventilation and help keep you cool. While it aids comfort, in extreme heat, some warmth may still be felt.
How should I clean the kidney belt?
Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and do not tumble dry. Air dry flat or hang dry away from direct sunlight.
Can this belt be used for activities other than motorcycle riding?
While designed for motorcycle riding, it can offer support for other activities that involve prolonged sitting or require lumbar support, though its primary design is for riding.
What does 'Koku' signify?
The term 'Koku' in this context likely refers to a specific product line or design feature within LS2's accessory range and does not have a universally defined meaning outside of the brand.
Troubleshooting
Belt feels too loose or shifts during ride.
Ensure the dual elastic waistband is pulled taut before fastening the Velcro. Adjust the Velcro for a tighter fit. If still loose, consider if the size is appropriate for your torso.
Belt feels too tight and restricts breathing.
Loosen the Velcro fastening slightly. The belt should provide support, not constriction. Ensure it is positioned correctly on your lower back.
Mesh material feels uncomfortable against skin.
Wear a thin, moisture-wicking base layer underneath the kidney belt to improve comfort and manage moisture.
Velcro losing grip over time.
Clean the Velcro surfaces periodically with a stiff brush to remove lint and debris. Ensure the surfaces are dry before fastening.

- Adjustable fit ensures it stays in place.
- Lightweight and does not impede movement.
- Durable construction for extended use.
Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unfasten the Velcro closure.
- Position the belt around your lower back, ensuring the wider, supportive section is centered.
- Wrap the elastic waistband around your torso, bringing the Velcro ends together.
- Adjust the tightness using the Velcro fastening to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. It should feel supportive without restricting breathing.
Compatibility:
This kidney belt is designed to be worn over base layers and under riding jackets. It is generally compatible with most motorcycle riding gear. Its elastic nature allows it to adapt to a range of waist sizes, but it is most effective when worn directly against the body or a thin base layer for optimal fit and support.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Hand wash in cold water with mild detergent. Do not bleach.
- Drying: Air dry flat or hang dry. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding or creasing the mesh material.
