i normally use warm mildly soapy water to wash the shell of my helmet, you can do the same for the inside, pads lining and all. Air dry the lining and pads, you can towel dry the out side. the thing that came with my MSr helmet said to use a car wax or polish if a shine was desired.

i just washed my helmet... i cleaned the top of the helmet with warm soapy water... i cleaned the inside with a dab of carpet cleaner on a rag. it works great and makes it smell good inside. i polished the shell to fill in all the scratches... it looks brand new

Honda sells this stuff to spray in your helmet to get rid of the smell.

I just take my helmet skin off and wash the skin, that thing works awesome, i have a picture of it if you like, it takes the beating off the mud instead of the helmet getting it all and is simple to clean.

not sure but i think your better off soaking them in soapy water then run warm water thorugh them and let em dry, the high heatr in the dryer might melt em

I believe it says somewear that you can wash them, but don't put them in the dryer. Just let them air dry.

I washed mine a couple times last year, and it works good. Just try and remeber which ear piece goes where.
