I have a 49cc pocket bike and i need a new carburator anyone know what local stores might have them?
take a small amount of bleach (couple of cap fulls) and mix in a cup of water, then dab it on the mold areas. That will kill the mold for sure. Then place the helmet outside in the sun to dry it off, or sit it on top of the heat register so that warm dry air will blow on it...or for that matter you can use a hair dryer on a low setting.First try to scrape the mold off with a coarse rag or scratch pad. If it comes off then take a slightly damp rag and soap or dish detergent to cleanse it. Don't use to much water or you will ruin your padding.

I own a HJC helmet too! I use for sports car racing. Sounds like a smelly situation. Sunshine would be the only thing I would do and wipe the inside with fabreeze fabric freshener. Then go out and buy another helmet keeping old moldy as a spair.Does a motorcycle with a 250cc engine have enough power to get around town?

I would say replace the pads and bleach it (bleach/water solution)
Because it is a $100 helmet it is not worth the effort IMO.

What should the compression be for a 01 400ex bored 20 over its a 11.1 wiesco?
depending on the wetness of the mold.if it seems to be a light surface mold then you should brush off surface lightly. then saturate with a mold killing spray such as lysol spray.repeat if needed. giving time to dry in between. wear a face mask & gloves when removing any MOLD.
If it is a heavy mold, your BEST bet would be to try and remove the padding or padding cover. if you can get the material off by GENTLY removing it from the foam, its not hard to recover with an old tshirt material. just take your time. use some hot glue to hold the material to the pad and then a stronger glue to hold pad to helmet.
If you love this helmet it shouldnt be hard. if its too much bother buy a new one.
I would be less concerned about the mold and more concerned about the damage your EPS (extruded poly-styrene) lining may have suffered from the prolonged dampness it was exposed to.

Run the helmet through the dishwasher. Don't let the dry cycle run. Run it with no dishes, by itself, with dishwashing detergent.

I put it in my garage with a fan on it afterwards to let it dry off. You can also just let it dry over a few days.

It works very well and probably will clean up the mold. Certainly worth a try.
Bleach can remove mold, but then will discolor the padding etc. Try contacting the maker and see if you can buy just the padding for the inside of the helmet. Good Luck!
