1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing the LS2 FF910 Advant II System Helmet. This manual provides essential information for the proper use, maintenance, and care of your helmet. Please read it thoroughly before using your helmet to ensure maximum safety and to prolong its lifespan. Always prioritize your safety when riding.
2. Safety Information
- Helmet Fit: A helmet must fit snugly and comfortably. An improperly fitted helmet can compromise its protective capabilities. Refer to the 'Setup' section for proper fitting instructions.
- Impact Protection: This helmet is designed to absorb the energy of an impact by partial destruction of the shell and/or liner. Even if the helmet appears undamaged after an impact, its protective capacity may be compromised. It is recommended to replace any helmet that has sustained an impact.
- Visibility: Always ensure your visor is clean and free from obstructions. Use the internal sun visor responsibly, especially in changing light conditions.
- Modifications: Do not modify the helmet in any way. Drilling holes, cutting the shell, or altering the chin strap can severely weaken the helmet's structure.
- Chemicals: Avoid contact with gasoline, cleaning fluids, paints, or other solvents. These substances can damage the helmet's materials, often without visible signs.
3. Product Overview
The LS2 FF910 Advant II is a modular system helmet designed for versatility and comfort. It features a robust shell, a clear outer visor, and an integrated internal sun visor. The modular design allows the chin bar to be raised, converting the helmet from a full-face to an open-face configuration.

4. Setup
4.1. Proper Helmet Fit
A correctly fitting helmet is crucial for safety. To determine your size, measure the circumference of your head at its largest point, approximately 2.5 cm (1 inch) above your eyebrows and around the back of your head.
Image 4.1: A diagram demonstrating the correct method for measuring head circumference to determine helmet size. The measurement should be taken horizontally around the widest part of the head, just above the eyebrows.
Once you have your measurement, consult the LS2 sizing chart (typically available on the manufacturer's website or product packaging) to find the corresponding helmet size. When trying on the helmet:
- The helmet should feel snug around your entire head, with no pressure points.
- The cheek pads should press firmly against your cheeks.
- With the chin strap fastened, try to move the helmet from side to side and up and down. Your skin should move with the helmet, not the helmet sliding independently.
- Ensure your vision is not obstructed.
4.2. Visor Installation and Removal
The FF910 Advant II features a quick-release visor system. To remove the outer visor, open it fully, then locate the release levers or buttons on each side of the helmet's base plate. Follow the specific instructions provided in the helmet's packaging for your model's exact mechanism. To install, align the visor's pivots with the helmet's base plates and press firmly until they click into place. Ensure both sides are securely fastened before riding.
5. Operating the Helmet Features
5.1. Modular Chin Bar Operation
To raise the chin bar, locate the release button or lever, typically positioned at the center front of the chin bar. Press the button and lift the chin bar upwards until it locks securely in the open position. To lower it, press the release button again and gently push the chin bar down until it latches firmly into the closed, full-face position. Always ensure the chin bar is fully locked in either position before riding.
5.2. Internal Sun Visor
The helmet is equipped with an internal drop-down sun visor. A slider mechanism, usually located on the left side of the helmet, controls its deployment. Slide it forward to lower the sun visor and backward to retract it. Use the sun visor to reduce glare in bright conditions, but retract it in low light or at night to maintain optimal visibility.
5.3. Ventilation System
The FF910 Advant II features adjustable ventilation ports. These are typically located on the chin bar, forehead, and rear of the helmet. Open the vents to increase airflow and close them to reduce it. Adjust according to weather conditions and personal comfort.
6. Maintenance
6.1. Cleaning the Helmet Shell
Clean the helmet shell with a soft cloth, warm water, and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the helmet's finish and materials. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.
6.2. Visor Care
Clean visors with warm water and a soft microfiber cloth. For stubborn dirt or insects, soak a cloth in warm water and lay it over the visor for a few minutes to soften the debris before gently wiping. Do not use abrasive cleaners or paper towels, which can scratch the visor. If your visor has an anti-fog coating, avoid rubbing the inside surface vigorously.
6.3. Interior Liner Cleaning
The interior comfort liner is typically removable and washable. Carefully detach the liner components according to the instructions in your helmet's specific manual. Hand wash with mild soap and warm water, or machine wash on a gentle cycle in a laundry bag. Air dry completely before re-installing. Ensure all components are dry to prevent mildew.
7. Troubleshooting
- Visor Fogging: Ensure all vents are open for maximum airflow. Consider using an anti-fog insert (Pinlock) if available for your visor, or an anti-fog spray.
- Helmet Too Tight/Loose: Re-check your head measurement and compare it to the sizing chart. If the fit is incorrect, the helmet may need to be exchanged for a different size. Some helmets offer interchangeable cheek pads for minor adjustments.
- Chin Bar Not Latching: Ensure no debris is obstructing the latching mechanism. Apply gentle, even pressure when closing. If the issue persists, inspect the mechanism for damage.
