Title: Aerodynamics on 1998 model
Post by: Egidijs on 08 June 2015, 09:20:17 pm: Hello everyone,
I`ve started to ride my good old Fazer, and there seems to be a problem with my Aerodynamics. I fel last season,did fix the plastic things and so, basicly is back as a stock, but there seems to be a problem with the noise starting from 80+ km/h..Basicaly if u sit in your position ,the air is making anoying sound in your ears and it still buzze`s after u get off or stop..So it`s kind of anoying, and was wondering if i`m the only one with such a problem..Bought new helmet Scorpion Exo,fits fine and so on,but still the anoying sound is there. If i sit on my fuel tank it`s fine, and if i go behind the "cage" it`s also fine..

Any ideas, what might be the cause?

I have tried different riding positions and nothing changes the sound level apart from actualy laying on the tank and being completely behind the shield ( i have a DB screen) so apart from looking a twat its unpractical to do

I'm not too fused riding about town though as I'm a bit deaf in one ear from years of working a lathe. Unfortunately no wine last nite Colin, :tape It's amazing what a google search can bring up these days, it turns us all into experts :lol

Wearing your lid back to front is great at getting rid of wind noise. :thumbup
