Hi, I pulled my old Shoei RJ Air out of my closet a couple months back, and the inside padding literally feel to dust and crud on my floor. I threw it away, helmet and all. It had been stored in my closet for about 8-9 years I think. Way too long. Way too old.
Used my AGV K1 until I celebrated and bought 2 new helmets, a Shoei RF-1400, and an HJC RPHA 11 Pro Bine helmet. Got the bright yellow Shoei for air intake and the HJC because it has great intake air features too, and is one of the lightest full face helmets on the market. But the 5 year limit on helmets may just be there for good reason. Time and the elements seems to eat up helmets, possibly the outside as well in UV light all the time. The RF-1400 looks awesome in Yellow, and fits like a glove.
It may be time to upgrade to the 14, just for your own sake.....
