SHOEI Neotec 3 Manual

Read This First

This product is a motorcycle helmet.
Do not use it for any purposes other than riding a motorcycle. If you use the helmet for any other purpose, it may not provide sufficient protection in case of an accident.

No helmet can protect the wearer against all foreseeable high speed and low speed impacts.
For maximum head protection, the helmet must fit property and the retention system must be securely fastened under the chin. The helmet should allow sufficient peripheral vision when secure on your head. If your helmet is too large, it may slide on your head while riding causing your helmet to obstruct your vision or come off in an accident resulting in personal injury or death. To learn to properly wear and secure your helmet, see the booklet "Use Your Helmet Properly" that is packed with your helmet.

Opening and Closing the Face Cover

Opening and Closing the Face Cover

The face cover can be opened and closed with a single touch. To open the face cover, pull down the button in the bottom center of the face cover and release the lock. Lift and rotate the face cover until you hear a dick when the first stopper engages. The face cover can be secured in opened position by continuing to rotate the face cover until it clicks in the second stopper.
To close the face cover, gently rotate it downward until you hear a click when the face cover lock engages.

  • The face cover stopper is not a locking mechanism and does not completely hold the open status. Riding with the face cover open may create wind drag, causing the face cover to close. This may obstruct your view and can be very dangerous. Always have the face cover closed and locked while riding your motorcycle.
  • Do not remove the face cover from the helmet. In case of need to adjust the face cover or the shield/visor, consult your local SHOEI dealer nearby.
  • Do not hold the button while closing the face cover. This can cause the face cover lock to fail to engage. A face cover that is not locked may open unexpectedly during riding and lead to an accident. After closing the face cover, be sure to check that it is locked.
  • When carrying the helmet, be sure to close the face cover and check that it is locked. Carrying the helmet with the face cover unlocked can cause sudden opening of the face cover and the helmet may be dropped or become damaged.
  • Do not open or close the face cover by grasping the chin curtain. The chin curtain may come off.

Chin Curtain

Installing the chin curtain restricts the inflow of wind into the chin area. It also reduces the wind noise. The chin curtain is detachable. Follow the procedure below to install and remove the chin curtain.
Chin Curtain

Removing the Chin Curtain

The chin curtain is inserted into the plate at the bottom edge of the face cover and fastened with two pins. Refer to the drawing. Lift up the face cover plate near its right and left pins, and remove the pins that pass through the chin curtain plate. Pull out the chin curtain. Remove the chin curtain on both the right and left sides.

Installing the Chin Curtain

As shown in the drawing, lift up the face cover plate (at the bottom edge of the face cover) and insert the chin curtain plate in the space created. There are pins on the interior side of the face cover plate. Insert them through the holes of the chin curtain plate. Attach the chin curtain on both the right and left sides.

  • With the chin curtain is installed, the sound from nearby vehides will be reduced. Please be aware of this while riding.
  • Do not pull the chin curtain with the pins in place. If you do, the chin curtain or face cover plate may become damaged.
  • Do not carry or hold the helmet by the chin curtain. The chin curtain may come off, and the helmet may drop.

Breath Guard

Installing the breath guard changes the airflow from the lower air intake. This directs air around your mouth and also reduces fogging of the shield/visor caused by breathing. Follow the procedure below to install and remove the breath guard.
Breath Guard

Installing the Breath Guard

As shown in the drawing, insert the breath guard in the space between the defogger ventilation system and the impact absorbing liner.

Removing the Breath Guard

Read the instructions and warnings in the own er's manual carefully before using this shield/ visor. It is your responsibility to ensure that your use of this shield/visor complies with any state or local laws.

  • Light transmittance ratio of Spectra (mirrored) and Dark Smoke shield/visor is less than requirement of EGE R22/06. Therefore, they are not homologated. However, when they are used in riding in circuit for a long time under strong sunlight, they may ease fatigue of your eyes better compared with homologated shield/visor.
  • Tinted or mirrored shields/visors reduce light transmittance and may impair a rider's vision in certain circumstances, increasing the likelihood of a crash resulting in injury or death.
  • Never use a tinted or mirrored shield/visor at night, in tunnels, in rain or fog, or in other low visibility conditions. These shields/visors are intended for daytime use only.
  • Do not use a tinted or mirrored shield/visor together with the helmet's internal sun visor, sunglasses or any other product that reduces light transmittance. This may obstruct your view and can be very dangerous.
  • When mist retardant anti-fog sheet is attached to these shields/visors, light transmittance ratio decreases maximum by 10%.

If the tinted or mirrored shield/visor is used with the sun visor together in the USA, requirement of light transmission ratio specified in VESC-8* is not satisfied. Don't use tinted or mirrored shield/visor to your helmet in a manner not satisfying VESC-8*. Otherwise, your vision restricted by tinted or mirrored shield/visor may cause an accident and serious injury or death.

VESC-8: Vehicle Equipment Safety Commission regulation No. 8 for motorcyclist eye protection This standard is widely referenced and applied by the 36 states in USA with motorcyclist eye protection use law.
