Step 1 of 3 — Before Applying
Surface
Preparation
All four steps below are required. Skipping even one is the leading cause of adhesive failure and mount detachment while riding.

01
Find the Right Spot
Hold the mount (red film still on) against the helmet. Check from front and side — the base must sit completely flat. No ridges, vents, or curves underneath. Check the product images on go-moto.com for your specific mount to see exactly where it should be placed. Optional: mark the spot lightly with a pencil, marker, or a strip of masking tape along the edge as a placement guide.
✕ Don't mount anywhere other than the position shown in the product images on the website
Coming soon
02
Wash with Warm Soap & Water
Wash the marked area with warm water and a proper degreasing dish soap — Dreft or any washing-up liquid works well. Scrub firmly, rinse thoroughly, and let it dry. Do not use shower gel, shampoo, or all-purpose cleaner.
⚠ New helmets have a factory wax coating that may prevent the adhesive from bonding. This soap wash removes it — don't skip it, scrub firmly.
✕ Use real dish soap only (e.g. Dreft) — shower gel won't remove the wax layer
Coming soon
03
Wipe with the Alcohol Pad
Once dry, wipe the spot firmly with the included 3M isopropyl alcohol pad. Wipe outward — away from the centre of the mounting spot — so all dirt and residue is swept off the area. Wait 60 seconds for full evaporation before the next step.
✕ Don't touch the cleaned area with bare fingers after this — skin oils will break the bond
Coming soon
04
Warm the Helmet Surface
Hold a hair dryer 10–15 cm from the installation spot. The surface should feel pleasantly warm — not hot. A warm surface dramatically improves adhesive bonding quality.
✕ Don't overheat — keep the dryer moving, never hold it still. Too much heat can damage the paint or shell
Step 2 of 3 — Mounting
Installing
the Mount
Once the surface is washed, alcohol-wiped, warmed and marked, follow these steps to permanently attach the mount.
1/
Heat the adhesive
Hold a hair dryer 8–10 cm from the red adhesive pad on the back of the mount. Heat for at least 60 seconds — but time alone isn't the goal. The entire adhesive pad must be fully warm throughout, not just warm on the surface. With a weaker dryer this takes longer. The pad should feel genuinely hot to the touch before you peel the film.

2/
Peel the red film
Remove the red protective film from the back of the mount — only once the adhesive is warm. Don't let the exposed adhesive touch anything before placing it on the helmet.
Coming soon
3/
Align with your mark (optional)
If you marked the spot in step 1 of Surface Prep — with a pencil, marker, or a strip of masking tape along the edge — use it as a guide to position the mount carefully before making contact. Once the adhesive touches the surface, it begins bonding immediately — you won't get a second chance.
Coming soon
4/
Press as hard as you can — for at least 60 seconds
Place both thumbs — or your full palm — across the base of the mount and press as hard as you can for at least 60 seconds. While pressing, gently massage the entire mount with your thumbs / palm — moving slowly across the whole surface ensures the adhesive makes full contact everywhere.
Coming soon
5/
Wait before your first ride
The 3M VHB adhesive needs time to fully cure. It can be used after 24 hours, but we always recommend waiting 72 hours for 100% bond strength. Do not mount a camera or put the helmet under any load during curing. Avoid vibration, moisture, and extreme heat.
Coming soon
Step 3 of 3 — Camera
Setting Up
Your Camera
After the curing period the mount is ready. Time to get your camera set up!
1/
Attach your camera to the buckle mount
Place your camera into the buckle mount and secure it firmly with the thumbscrew. Make sure the camera doesn't wobble — tighten until it is completely locked in place.
Coming soon
2/
Click the buckle into the chin mount
Lift the rubber safety flap on the chin mount. Slide the buckle in from the front until it clicks. Press the rubber safety flap back firmly into place — this locks the buckle and prevents it from releasing while riding.
↑ Safety flap must be fully pressed back down before riding
Coming soon
3/
Set your angle
Loosen the thumbscrew slightly, point the camera to the desired angle, and retighten. Aim slightly upward — your chin tends to point down while riding. A 10–15° upward tilt usually gives the best framing. Sit on your bike and check your footage first before heading out.
↗ Tilt 10–15° upward for best road framing

Always check your setup before every ride
① Tighten the thumbscrew — make sure it's fully secured
② Try to tilt the camera — it should not move at all
③ Check the safety tether is attached to both camera and helmet
④ Run a finger around the adhesive base — no lifted edges
✓ 30 s before every ride
Always use the safety tether.
No safety tether = no warranty.
Removing the Mount
Removing
the Mount
Removing the mount correctly protects both your helmet and the mount itself. Take your time — rushing risks damage to the paint or shell.
1/
Weaken the adhesive with heat
Hold a hair dryer 8–10 cm from the sides of the mount and heat the adhesive thoroughly. The heat loosens the bond and makes the mount much easier to remove without damaging the helmet surface. Keep the dryer moving — don't hold it still in one spot.
↑ The more heat, the easier the removal — keep going until the mount feels warm
Coming soon
2/
Work a credit card under the corners
Use a soft flat object — an old credit card works perfectly. Carefully slide it between the mount base and the adhesive, starting from the corners. Work slowly around each corner until you feel the adhesive beginning to release. Never use a knife or metal tool.
✕ Never use metal tools — they will scratch the helmet
Coming soon
3/
Twist the mount off
Once the corners are released, gently twist the Go Moto mount back and forth. Twisting releases the remaining adhesive contact without pulling — this prevents tearing the surface. If you feel resistance at any point, stop and apply more heat before continuing.
✓ Twist, don't pull — twisting releases cleanly, pulling can damage the surface

Adhesive residue left on the helmet?
Warm the residue with the hair dryer and roll it off with your finger or a rubber eraser. Finish with the 3M surface cleaner or isopropyl alcohol to leave the surface completely clean for re-installation.
Re-installation
Re-installing
the Mount
First remove the mount following the Removing section. Then apply a new adhesive pad to the mount base using the steps below. Once done, follow the full installation process again from the top.
Start by removing the mount from your helmet — see the Removing section above for the correct steps. Then apply a new adhesive pad, and re-follow the full installation process from the top.
1/
Remove the old adhesive from the mount base
Peel or scrape off all old adhesive residue from the back of the mount. If the adhesive is stubborn, warm it with a hair dryer for 20–30 seconds to soften it — it will come loose much more easily.
Coming soon
2/
Wipe with the alcohol pad
Wipe the cleaned mount base with the 3M isopropyl alcohol pad. Wipe outward — away from the centre — so all residue is swept off. Wait 60 seconds for full evaporation. Do not touch the surface with bare fingers afterwards.
3/
Heat the new adhesive pad really well
Hold a hair dryer 8–10 cm from the new adhesive pad and heat it until the adhesive is fully saturated with heat throughout — not just warm on the surface. The pad should feel genuinely hot to the touch before you apply it.
4/
Apply the adhesive — no air bubbles
Keep one edge of the adhesive pad slightly lifted with a finger and apply it to the mount base from side to side, pressing down gradually as you go. This prevents air bubbles from getting trapped underneath.
↑ One edge up, apply side to side — no air bubbles
5/
Massage the adhesive for optimal bonding and contact
Once the pad is fully in place, press down across the entire surface as hard as you can with both thumbs or your palm. While pressing, gently massage the entire adhesive — moving slowly across the whole surface ensures the adhesive makes full contact everywhere.
✓ Done — now follow the Surface Prep and Install sections again
Troubleshooting
Something
not right?
Most issues trace back to one of the four preparation steps. Check these before contacting support.
This is almost always caused by skipping or rushing the preparation steps. Check each one:
- Was the mounting spot found and marked correctly?
- Was the surface washed with dish soap?
- Was the alcohol pad used?
- Was the helmet surface warmed with a hair dryer?
- Was the adhesive pad heated until fully warm throughout?
Warm the lifted edge with a hair dryer for 20–30 seconds, then press it back down firmly using a credit card or something thin and flat. Hold for 60 seconds. If the edge lifts again, the surface may not have been fully clean or the adhesive wasn't warm enough during install. Select your helmet and grab your Spare Adhesive Kit to re-apply — includes a pre-cut 3M VHB adhesive pad and 3M surface cleaner.
Tighten the thumbscrew firmly and check that the low profile bolt is tightened enough. If the camera still shifts, re-seat the buckle mount fully and retighten. Do not overtighten — this can damage the mount arm.
This is completely normal and by design. We've built a small amount of tolerance into the buckle so it can absorb unexpected knocks and impacts without cracking or breaking. The slight movement stays within the buckle mechanism itself — it won't affect your footage.
The mount must be removed and re-installed. A mount in the wrong position won't be in full contact with the helmet surface, which causes the adhesive to fail over time. Warm the adhesive with a hair dryer, carefully pry up the mount using a plastic card. Clean the surface, follow all preparation steps, then select your helmet and grab your Spare Adhesive Kit to re-install.
