Kappa Z2542R Visor Plates for KV27 Helmet

The Kappa Z2542R is the replacement visor attachment plate for the Kappa KV27 helmet: the side disc with the red lever that holds the visor in place and manages its release. It is screw-fixed to the shell. Product code Z2542R.

✓ Strengths

• Restores visor tightness – when the detent no longer holds and the visor lifts on its own, it means these have worn out.
• It is the original spare part for the KV27 – the same piece that comes with the helmet as standard, not an adaptation.
• Easily replaced with a screwdriver – two Phillips screws per side, no special tools required.
• Costs a fraction of the helmet – a broken mechanism is no reason to replace the entire helmet.
• Kappa Moto brand – Givi S.p.A. group, brand new and with the manufacturer's EAN on the packaging.

Technical features

Compatibility

This is a helmet spare part, not for a vehicle: it applies to any motorcycle or scooter, as long as the helmet is a Kappa KV27. The code and compatibility match the official Kappa Moto parts catalog. If you are unsure of the model, the name is printed on the shell or the internal label: send us a photo and we will verify it for you.

Perfect for

For those who have a KV27 in great condition but whose visor no longer stays up, flaps in the wind on the highway, or pops off at every bump. It is the classic five-euro part that fixes a hundred-euro helmet: the mechanism is plastic and the lever operates every time it is opened, so after a few seasons, it is normal for it to wear out before everything else.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if these are broken?
If the visor does not hold in intermediate positions, if it opens by itself at high speeds, or if the red lever rotates without releasing, the problem is in the side mechanism. Check if a plate is cracked or if you have lost one of the screws.

Do I need special tools to change them?
No, a Phillips screwdriver is enough. The plates are screwed onto the shell on the sides of the visor: remove the screws, slide out the old one, mount the new one in the same position, and screw it back in. It is the simplest operation among all helmet spare parts.

Is the visor included?
No. The Z2542R is just the attachment mechanism: the side discs with the release lever. The KV27 visor is a separate code, and you can find it in our Kappa spare parts catalog along with breath guards, chin curtains, and interiors.

Do they fit on another Kappa helmet?
No. Kappa uses different mechanisms for different helmet families, and the Z2542R is the code for the KV27. For a KV28, KV38, or KV55, you need the spare part for that specific model: send us the code printed on the shell and we will tell you which one is the right one.

Is there one or two in the package?
The manufacturer does not publish this, and we do not invent data we do not have. The official Kappa photo shows the piece from both sides, inside and outside. If you need to be sure you are receiving both sides, contact us before ordering and we will confirm.

Is it an original Kappa spare part?
Yes. It is the official Kappa Moto replacement part, the helmet brand of the Givi S.p.A. group, with its Z2542R code and the manufacturer's EAN on the packaging. This is not a third-party compatible part: it is the same piece that the KV27 has when it leaves the factory.
