OK so even before I start my quad, I was tooling around with my nice shiny Fox V1 helmet.

I found out that your not supposed to pull out the little red emergency tab.

I went back to the dealer very red faced and explained to them what happened. They were going to swap out my helmet for a new one to make things quick and easy but the didn't have any more in stock.

So now I have a new helmet a HJC CL-X6 Frenzy. I like the fit of this helmet better. This helmet doesnt have the red quick release tab but that might be a good thing in my case/

Lesson learned.

The red tab unlocks the helmet from the foam section. its behind the chin strap. Sounds innocent right? Its for when an EMT has to remove your helmet but doesnt want to move your neck after an accident. Trouble is its one time use only then you have to replace it.

      Hi, I have been around everything with a motor since I was little, and finally purchased more to get my husband, and kids involved. I have 4 quads I will be searching around for information on. I have two 2002 Suzuki LT80K quads, a 1997 Yamaha Timberwolf 250, and a 1996 Kawasaki Bayou 220. I have had different ones throughout the years, and plan on buying another Yamaha Banshee. I plan on trying to learn more about all of them, so I can customize some of them. I know nothing about them besides how to race them, my dad always took care of the rest, but figured it was time for me to learn.
