Yes put a clean head in it and you won't have to worry about stink. The whole shaven head thing works too. J/K Actually you might be able to use the Clorox Febreeze.(It will mask the odor and maybe kill surface bacteria.) Or you could scrub it down with a small brush and some mild soap. The put it out to dry in the sun with a dryer sheet. It might not work well in winter though.ephraimsaldivia said:
Maybe a blowdryer...just don't leave it damp.

You know, you might be able to wash your helmet out. My Arai Astral can be submerged in water. At first, I was sceptical, but the instructions says so, so I gave it a try.
Fill the sink up with water and drop the helmet inside. Make sure the insides are good and soaked, then use shampoo and rub the liner. Rinse (and repeat...jk!). Make sure you rinse it good. Rinsing actually takes longer than shampooing. Then take the helmet outside and whip the helmet around in vertical 360s until water stops streaming out. Then use a super absorber (the kind for drying cars) and blot out most of the water. Blot until the liner feels damp rather than wet. Believe it or not, this step will do wonders for drying time. Last, set a fan so that it blows immediately and directly into the bottom of the helmet positioned on its side. It'll be dry in 8 hours or so.
By the way, once the helmet begins to smell, regular cleaning is more or less a fact of life.
For those who say just put a clean head in it, you mustn't sweat either, eh? Clean head or not, and sooner or later, bacteria will begin to break down the sweat on the helmet and cause a smell.

hey thks guys ..lol i wash my hair everyday and a hair very short haur but when am in the club getting my freak on i come out of there smelling like cigarettes and all that and get up all in the helmet u know..lol hahah yeah dont sneeze in ur helmet
I never ride my bike to "the club". Too many drunk idiots stumbling out that think they have a right to sit on my bike. Plus, anytime you ride, you should have all your gear on... You'd look kinda stupid getting your "freak on" in a pair of Sidi Vertebra race boots!

ephraimsaldivia, I think you have greater problems to worry about than a smelly helmet.

Yes, I understand. This is an RR site--we are all seduced by this sexy bike. But keep on riding like you do and without proper gear (at least boots and a jacket) and you might be a big stinky smear on the road.
...just doing my part to prevent another rider from going down. You won't be very appealing to the ladies if something goes wrong.
