Best I’ve found to explain how to remove and reinstall internal components. Thanks and well done!

A little late for my first cleaning last month, but I'm glad you did this. The videos online are terrible. Took me forever to figure out. I'm glad I'll have this for reference in the future. Thanks!

I've been washing the interior of my Arais for over 20 years in the washing machine, 30º, normal clothes washing liquid. As for the hard shell, I use the shower spray to really get into the nooks and crannies, and wash it with hair shampoo (inside and outside).

At last, an easy to follow video to follow. Thanks Jamie.

I have watched a few tubes on this subject. With respect to the others this was easily the clearest step by step. The footage zoomed in clearly on the tricky steps. Thanks mate.

For the last decades I employed hand washing to good effect. Either washing powder or hair shampoo.
But most effective is wearing a thin (modern tissue) balaclava. Just wash it every day or two, that prevents the helmet from smelling.

Thank you soo much for making this video I’ve had an Defiant X for 4 months now and haven’t been cleaned because of fear for just how much I paid but I love how you broke the helmet down now I feel comfortable going into my helmet and getting a good clean thanks for the video bud!!

This is a really good video, I had trouble figuring out the orientation of the cloth back over the check pads. Thanks for the good camera work and going slow.

Hey James, you are a true Gent Sir👍🏻 I need to custom fit my 7V and your in-depth strip down helped brill. I didn't know where to start until I saw this. Thanks Sir👍🏻

Ive used a hair shampoo to wash the interior off my old RX7, baby shampoo is ideal as its mild, plus makes the helmet smell great. I imagine Arai are advocating the use off just water to alleviate any issues that may arise if someone uses a detergent that damages the interior, thus making themselves liable.

Hello I have been so scared to clean my helmets. I have tree Arai helmets. So scared but your video I think can help me. Amazing.

Just so everyone is aware, this does not apply to every Arai helmet. Only those with the removable lining. If you paid the extra for removable lining, you're in luck.

Great video. It’s about time for me to do this and this video made it way less intimidating.

Hope arai puts this video on their website

[colesthelol]

Thanks for the video. Very useful!

However, I am unable to fully put the visor back in the correct position after. It's a bit of a pain to correctly fit it. Now I get a horrible draft and buffeting on the right side.

How is it supposed to fit at the bottom? I guess that the pinlock should form a seal with the rubber seal?

Good to see that Arai have changed the visor mech, as the last time I had a Arai, replacing the visor involved a nasty cracking sound...😅😅😱😱

Okay you have to ignore the stupid sign in front of your chin that says 'push spoiler up into chin bar before putting helmet on.' I don't think the spoiler is functional anymore, but it's easier for them to leave it on and put that front air vent whatever they call it instead. They don't tell you that and this video doesn't tell you that.

now I want to fill up my Credit C to buy that helmet
