MtotheJ Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Ive had my shoei xr 1000 for about 5 weeks i think, and use it everyday. Due to it being a bit chilly i always put my neck tube over my mouth and nose so it covers the bottom part of my face. But now it's got warmer i don't really need to do that anymore but i have noticed that the helmet feels a lot looser now. I can get two fingers down by my cheek! Has this happened to anyone else? Is it simply fixed by just buying some smaller cheek pads?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korben Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Never heard it happening on a Shoei to that extent before, although all helmets do. Change the cheek pads (Although I think you mean larger ones rather than smaller ones.. Unless I am reading it wrong) and see how it feels mate.

Guest Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 remember a helmet moulds to your head when new .....did you have assistance when buying the helmet ? such as the seller or did you pick up and try them yourself and buy the one that seemed to fit wellif possible try washing the cheek pads as per instructions ( if you can on these helmets ) and see if this returns them to their original state ....

MtotheJ Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 Yeah I spent AGES with a guy in the local shop trying them on and he said that a small wa sthe right size and it felt right. fitted snug on the top of my head but not tight and it squeezed my cheeks. I think it maybe because i have used the neck tube over my face ever since ive had it so it has made it loser. Ill give em a wash and see. If not ill fork out £20 for some new pads to see if that makes a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabcrosshook Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Is this a sexual advice thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtotheJ Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 LOL! I did worry about the title of the thread but after seeing one earlier that was "a guy that gave me a good service" i didnt think this was anywhere near as bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
