This makes my face width wider and this cause the pressure. When I clamp my jaws shut the pressure goes away. I think I didn't notice this with my Arai helmet because is a bit looser fit. I never knew I was riding with relaxed jaws  - sounds a bit silly I know - but it is true.

Anybody who wants to post up an answer to the question "do you ride with jaws open or closed" - feel free to do so

It would seem like the helmet is probably slightly too tight, maybe it will disappear after loosening up a little bit.

As for the relaxed jaw, I heard that is a good indicator to check how tense you are on the bike. If you can stick the tongue through the teeth it's a good sign, otherwise you are probably going to fast for your ability
