How to Clean your Motorcycle Helmet | Back in the Garage

Thanks for this, most vids don't elaborate on how exactly the SHOEI's come apart, this made it look safe and relatively easy

Woolite...... now that is a good pro tip!!

Perfect - had been wondering how to clean my helmet for some days - as always very nicely explained😜

For my pinlocks I give them a final rinse with distilled water to prevent spots and let them completely dry without any wiping. I find they tend to mark or grab fibers off the microfiber cloth too easily.

It's probably been 15+ years since I've bought distilled water (since I buy all my coolant pre-mix now). Good tip! I've never had any trouble with microfibers getting caught. While this was a cheaper cloth I use another when traveling that is still called microfiber but a much tighter weave.

I am pretty sure you can remove the chin strap fabric. They are removable on my shoei XR1100 (RF 1100). You just unclip them at the very top of the strap

[@2WR]

You may be right. There is a snap but I'll be damned if I can fit my fingers in there to unsnap it.

Hey man quick question do you know if arai makes a auto darking pinlock insert for the tour x4 ?

[@2WR]

Pin lock inserts will always be clear. Unsure if they make a auto-tint shield for the helmet. That said, it’s very similar shape to the XD-4 shield which I spoke with the Arai rep complaining the pin lock wouldn’t seal. He stated it’s a know problem and to use anti-fog solution on it. Kind of a paint for such an expensive helmet.
