FAQs
Is this helmet suitable for track use?
Yes, Arai helmets are renowned for their safety levels and are generally approved for track use, though you should always check specific event requirements.
How often should I replace the helmet?
It is recommended to replace any motorcycle helmet every 5 years or immediately after any significant impact, even if no damage is visible.
Are the interior liners washable?
Yes, the interior liners are designed to be removed and hand-washed using mild detergent.
Does this helmet come with a clear visor?
Most models ship with a standard clear visor; please verify the specific package contents upon arrival.
Can I paint or apply decals to the shell?
Arai generally advises against painting the shell as solvents in certain paints can weaken the resin material.
How do I measure my head for this helmet?
Use a flexible measuring tape to measure the circumference of your head approximately one inch above your eyebrows.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too tight in the forehead
Verify if the cheek pads are seated correctly or consider adjusting the internal fitment with Arai-approved supplemental pads.
Difficulty installing a communication system
Ensure the speaker recesses are clear of debris and use adhesive mounts designed for rounded helmet surfaces.
Exterior finish shows water spots
Clean the shell with a damp microfiber cloth and immediately buff dry with a clean, dry cloth to prevent mineral buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Arai Helmet remains in peak condition, always perform a fit check before your first ride. The helmet should feel snug around the crown of the head without creating painful pressure points. Compatibility with comms systems is generally high due to the generous interior spacing. For care, use only mild soap and lukewarm water to clean the outer shell; avoid harsh chemicals or gasoline-based cleaners, which can degrade the shell's resin. The interior liner is removable and should be hand-washed periodically to maintain hygiene. Always store the helmet in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight when not in use.
