Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
Before purchasing, it is essential to identify your Bell helmet model and select the corresponding pivot kit. The kits are categorized as follows:
- 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 Bell models manufactured up to 2004.
Setup:
- Carefully remove the old pivot screws or damaged components from your helmet.
- Identify the correct replacement parts from the kit.
- Align the new pivot mechanism with the visor and helmet mounting points.
- Secure the screws using an appropriate tool (often a small screwdriver or Allen key), ensuring they are snug but not overtightened.
- Test the visor's movement and secure fit.
Care:
- Keep the pivot points clean from dust and debris. A soft, dry cloth is usually sufficient.
- Periodically check the tightness of the screws to ensure the visor remains secure.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, which could damage the plastic components.
