The size chart is only for reference. Always try the helmet on and follow this manual's
instructions for a proper fit.
Although your HJC helmet is designed to reduce or prevent some injuries when worn, no helmet can
protect you from all possible or foreseeable impacts. For example, your helmet cannot protect you from
spinal or neck injuries. In addition, there is no guarantee that your helmet will PREVENT injuries to the
area of your head that is covered. A low speed accident may even result in serious injury or death.
Never buy a used helmet or borrow someone else’s helmet.
Over time the protective foam in helmets will adjust to the contours of a user’s head.
A used or borrowed helmet may not offer as much protection as a new helmet.
Important Safety Information
Selecting the Right Helmet
The instructions in this manual are designed to help you select the right helmet, wear it properly,
take care of it, and know when to replace it. Failure to follow these instruction may increase your
risk of serious injury or death in an accident.
In order to get the most protection possible from your helmet, you should always do the following:
Wear your helmet when you ride;
Handle your helmet carefully to avoid accidental damage; and
Ride safely – do not take risks because you are wearing a helmet.
Wearing the wrong size helmet can increase your risk of serious injury or death in an
accident. A helmet that is too large for your head may be dislodged or knocked off in
an accident. To select the right size helmet for your head, follow these instruction :
1. Measure your head. Wrap a tape measure around your head about one inch (2.5cm) above your
eyebrows.
2. Use the sizing chart to select the helmet size that corresponds most closely to your head measurement.
If your head size falls between two helmet sizes, try on the larger helmet first and then the smaller size.
3. Try on the helmet by grasping both chin straps to pull the helmet completely onto your head,
ensuring that the top of your head is in contact with the top of the helmet interior.
4. Check for a proper fit. To make sure your helmet is the right size, check that :
● The helmet inner lining fits snugly around your head.
● The top pad presses firmly on your head.
● The cheek pads contact your cheeks.
● There is no space around your brow under the inner lining.
Test this by trying to insert your fingers.
If the helmet does not fit snugly, try on a smaller size.
5. Check your field of vision when trying on a helmet. Some helmets may obstruct or block your vision
when looking left, right, up, or down.

Always make sure you can see well enough to safely operate your motorcycle.
6. Test the helmet fit by placing your hands on each side of the helmet.
While holding your head as motionless as possible, try rotating
your helmet from left to right then up and down. If you can feel
the helmet padding sliding on your head, it is too big, try a size
smaller. You should feel the helmet move the skin on your
head and face as you try to move the helmet.
7. Fasten the retention system (chin strap) as tight as possible under your jaw without causing pain.
There must be no slack in the strap, and the strap must be tight up against your jaw. See page 5-6.
8.
Test the retention system (chin strap)
● Put your hands on the back of the helmet and try to push
the helmet off by rotating it forward.
● Put your hands on the front of the helmet above your forehead
(or on the chin guard) and try to push the helmet off by rotating
backward.
If helmet comes off or shifts over your eyes, try another size or another model or brand.
You must be able to see the edge in your upper field of vision.
Repeat steps 3 throught 8 until you find a helmet that fits your head snugly and securely.
* The i90 was designed to be used in the closed chin bar position, thus be sure all helmet
"fitting" is done while chin bar is in the closed and locked position.

Inspect your helmet
To ensure that your helmet is in the best condition to maximize your protection, always inspect your
helmet for damage before riding :
● Check the shield and shield ratchet – re-tighten shield ratchet screws if necessary. Be sure not to
over-tighten any screws. Plastic base plate screws can break and plastic screws can strip the screw
sleeves if over-tightened.
● Check for helmet damage. If your helmet is damaged or cracked, stop using it immediately. See
“Helmet Replacement” (p. 12) section for further information. If your helmet has been dropped, you may
not be able to see the damage.
● Check for worn or damaged parts. Plastic components may wear out over time. If you find worn or
damaged parts, replace them or purchase a new helmet. See “Replacement Parts” (p. 11) for information
on parts replacement.
Check Your Face Shield
Fasten the Retention System
Fasten the retention system (chin strap) as tight as possible under your jaw without causing pain. There
must be no slack in the strap, and the strap must be snug up against your jaw. If the retention system is
not tight, your helmet may become dislodged or knocked off in an accident.
If your face shield is scratched or damaged it may reduce the visibility-replace if necessary.
Always make sure you can see well enough to safely operate your motorcycle.
• Check the retention system (chin strap) for damage. If it is frayed or ripped, replace the helmet.
• Check that all pads are in place. Both of the cheek pads and the crown pads must be in place.
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death and to help prevent damage to your helmet :
● Never adjust your helmet accessories while riding – Only make helmet adjustments when stopped.
● Never
drop your helmet – Dropping your helmet may crack the shell or damage the protective foam.
The damage may not be visible. Your helmet is only designed for ONE impact. Refer to “Helmet
Replacement” (p. 12) for more information on what to do after helmet has been dropped.
● Never wear anything between your head and your helmet – this may reduce the effectiveness of
your helmet.
● Never hang or hook your helmet on anything including mirror stalks or sissy bars - Doing so
may cause damage
to the helmet protective foam or liner.
● Never use insect repellent on or around your helmet – insect repellant may damage your helmet’s
shield, shell, protective foam, or other components.
● Never expose helmet to gasoline or gasoline fumes – Gasoline may damage your helmet’s shield,
shell, protective foam, or other components.
● Never use a dark or tinted face shield at night or in low visibility conditions.
● Never ride with the modular chin bar in the open position.
- If you have any questions on what other substances may damage your helmet, please contact us.
● Always wear eye protection – If you are not using a helmet with a face shield, always wear eye
protection when riding. Always lock your face shield in place when you are riding.
● Always be alert for sounds – Your helmet may impair your hearing. However, your helmet is not
a form of hearing protection.
● Always store your helmet in its helmet bag when not in use to help reduce accidental surface damage.
Using Your Helmet Correctly
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death and to help prevent damage to your helmet :
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, always use your helmet correctly.
If parts fall off while riding, your vision may be blocked which could cause an accident.
Do not rely on the snap to secure the helmet. The snap is provided only to prevent the
strap from flapping in the air. Fasten the retention system only in the following manner:
Double “D” Ring
Maintaining Your Helmet Correctly
Only use approved methods to clean the helmet. Using other unapproved chemicals or
methods may damage the helmet shell or lining. A damaged helmet may increase your
risk of serious injury or death in an accident.
Glossy Finish. HJC recommends cleaning your helmet with products designed for automotive cleaning
and polishing. All HJC helmets are finished with an automotive type base coat/clear coat finish. Rubbing
compounds can be used for deep cleaning to remove many scratches and scuffs. Follow the product’s
instructions diligently. Over polishing with rubbing compounds can cause light abrasions which may dull
the finish of your helmet. Stickers and decals will leave adhesive residue when removed. To remove the
adhesive residue, use alcohol swabs. Be certain to immediately wipe away the excess liquid and clean
the area with soap and water once the adhesive residue is removed. Do not use excessive pressure while
rubbing when attempting to remove the adhesive residue, instead use multiple light treatments.
Non-Glossy Finish. For our flat finish (non-glossy) helmets, we recommend using warm water and mild
soap. Use multiple treatments for heavier dirt. Do not use excessive pressure or rubbing compounds
while cleaning the surface as a “glossy” effect could be created, running the flat finish appearance.
Shell Cleaning
1. Please clean helmets from dust, bugs or grass within one day.
Cleaning progress
1) Clean the helmet with warm water and cloth.
2) If there are any remains left, dry the helmet and remove any remaining contamination with rubber
eraser.
Do not use any alcohol or thinner to clean the helmet because they may damage the paint.
2. Avoid oil contamination as it is extremely difficult to clean once exposed.
■
Interior Cleaning
Vent Cleaning
Dirt and debris can find its way into venting of your HJC helmet. Compressed air cans used for cleaning
computer keyboards may be used to blow the debris from the ventilation system. It is recommended that
you remove any removable pads before doing this process.
Although we recommend changing a helmet every 3 to 5 years, the accumulation of sweat, humidity and
dirt can deteriorate the fabric and stitching and this may cause odor. To wash HJC removable pads, hand
washing is recommended. If you use a washing machine, please use on “Delicate” setting and air dry. HJC
do not recommend using spin-dryer for the interior pads as it may damage the material. For non-removable
interiors, HJC recommends using anti-bacteria and mildew eliminating products such as “Helmet Fresh.”

Shield Cleaning
The helmet shield is made of polycarbonate materials with a polyurethane abrasion resistance coating.
It should be cleaned using mild soap and warm water. Never use hot water, salt water, benzene, thinner,
gasoline or any other harsh agents. Additionally the use of commercial shield cleaners is not recommended
because they may affect the quality of the shield material. Treat carefully when cleaning the shield to
preserve the abrasion resistant coating. When deep scratches are visible, it is highly recommended that
the helmet shield be replaced. Tinted shield are for “Day time use only” and are not suitable for use at night
or in conditions of poor visibility.
