Guest redrs Posted June 12, 2007 Share #1 Posted June 12, 2007 Hi all! Got my RSTD back from it's check-up (clutch basket not in yet so it will have to go back later) and it's CB install. Question/Problem is this: Sounds like I have an nest of angry bees in my helmet that increase with RPM'S and speed. This is one of the J&M new ones that does the NOAA weather and all. It works great other than that annoying,very loud buzz. This was a dealer install so what do I tell the guys when I go back for my clutch basket change? Do I need a filter somewhere or what? Thanks in advance again for all your help! Ride safe, Becky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyRich Posted June 12, 2007 Share #2 Posted June 12, 2007 Could be a bad ground or you need a DC filter. Tell them to listen to the Buzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcarl Posted June 12, 2007 Share #3 Posted June 12, 2007 Could be just a routing of the wires, put them somewhere different and problem ?MAY BE? solved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipshot Posted June 12, 2007 Share #4 Posted June 12, 2007 didn't i read, just recently, something about "moving the wire away from the gas tank wire plug holder?" is this the problem that you have? engine /spark plug noise? maybe i dreamed this all up?:confused24: just jt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest offdutyagain Posted June 13, 2007 Share #8 Posted June 13, 2007 Check and see if your any audio cable (headset or other device) is running parallel with a power cable. If so either move them at least 6 inches apart or run one at a right angle to the other and re-route your wires. This is a common problem with unbalanced audio sources. Good luck.

Stoutman Posted June 13, 2007 Share #9 Posted June 13, 2007 I've worked on a lot of these type problems. Everything I read on this post is a possible solution. The thing is, without some troubleshooting gear it is hard to say for sure. If you paid the dealer to install it then try to get them to fix it as part of their original install price. If they won't help you then here are some different ways to try to nail it down. Take a handheld am radio, like an old transistor radio, (I know, I'm dating myself again) turn it on, but not tuned to a station, and closely point the antenna at different possible sources of noise like the spark plugs, coils, ignition module, and alternator. If you get a noticeable increase of noise from any source then try to isolate that source. If it is plugs, try resistor plugs, or move power wires from the proximity. If is is coils, try a capacitor in parallel with the power wire, or a choke (coil of wire with a ferrite center) in series with the power wire (or both). If none of the above work then try a big ground strap to the radio, and the ground side of the antenna. Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midrsv Posted June 13, 2007 Share #10 Posted June 13, 2007 I know this doesn't help, but I have a friend who has the same problem with this radio mounted on a Suzuki 800. So far the dealer has been no help. DT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
