I've got a Kiwi K500 I got for trackdays in the car. It's covered in vents. But as I have no "instruction" manual I've no idea which way to set them so they are open.

I was hoping to find kiwi site online but www.kiwi.it that I keep being pointed to has been nabbed by a search engine type site.

I can't find any pictures on the net of the helmet in the colours I have either....which does raise the question of. "is it the helmet I think it is..."

Anybody know which way is open?

They looks like the ones on my Aria. If they are the same then with the rearmost side of the rocker down the vent will be open. Can you not see far enough through the 'tunnel' part to see the mechanism? Are there corresponding exhaust vents on the back?

Just set them all one way, wear it, then set them all the other way and wear it again. If you can't tell the difference, then it doesn't really matter anyway smile

I have tried blowing in them. Cant tell! I've also had them both ways to see if theres any difference. Couldn't really tell, so I guess your right it doesn't really matter. It's more the irritation at not knowing. smile

The ones on the back I can see into and if the slider is pushed to the outside of the helmet the hole is uncovered.
