f. Before eVerY riDe
For your safety you should check the following points before every
ride:
1. CHECKING THE HELMET
Check the helmet regularly for damage. Small superficial scratches
will not affect the protection afforded by the helmet. If more
serious damage (cracks, dents, chipped and cracked lacquer, etc)
is present, however, the helmet should no longer be used. If
necessary we will check your SR1 for any damage at no cost
(see section J.1, 'Safety Check').
Note:
If your body weight has significantly reduced, you must check
whether your helmet is still the correct size for you.
2. CHECKING THE CHINSTRAP (with helmet on and fastened)
1. Check that the chinstrap passes under your chin.
2. Slip your index finger under the chinstrap and pull.
- If the chinstrap is loose under the chin, it is too long and
needs to be tightened.
- If the chinstrap loosens when you pull it, it is not properly
fastened. Undo the chinstrap completely and try fastening it
again. Repeat the test.
3. If you are unable to fasten the chinstrap so that it fits firmly
against the chin, check that your helmet is still the right size
for you.
Note:
Repeat the test after each adjustment.
