Nobody likes riding there motorbike with a load of wind noise in there helmet!
Although this is inherit to motorcycle riding, there are some simple hacks that can substantially reduce wind noise and vibration.
From helmet wind curtains, to plugs and scarfs, everything will help!
Today i tested out two scarfs, and the effects of a windshield on my wife's Trident 660.
The results were very noticeable.
Please take a peek. I hope my findings also help you :D
To ensure real results, the mic is high sensitivity and was placed near my ear.

Do you have a guide on how to wear the scarf as you have? I feel like mine will fall off while i ride

Thanks for the tip brother! I was having the same problem with the increase in wind noise after installing the windscreen!

The thing is a low sitting screens redirects the wind turbulence to your neck thus results in more wind noises.

Great video mate, I’m having the exact same problem with wind noise I’m going to try the scarf Great tip 👍👍

Nice video. I believe that with or without scarf or similar, will be very difficult to talk on the phone. My helmet is a bell broozer, which has no protection for wind on the low front.

Me and my wife use the midland intercoms on our trips, and they do fine. As long as your not going over the speed limit. 😜 But the scarf helps quite things down quite alot 👌

Yes that man is 100 per cent correct I did it with a normal scarf tie the knot 40 years it worked for i still does nd better than ear plugs 2 use with scraf the correct amount nd correct n ear that you can hear the motor nd that allow yourself 2 hear horn clearly

Some seem to forget a wind screen is not primarily to reduce wind noise in the helmet, but to reduce wind pushing against your head & more even your chest when riding at higher speeds. This does impact the comfort on long riders on more naked type bikes.

The problem is the low sitting screens they redirects wind turbulence to your neck resulting in more wind noises.

this windshield does direct the wind direct towards your head n giving increased windnoise. without windshield more wind hits lower thus reducing noise

@antonfelice5284 Ай бұрын

The windshield creates turbulence, more turbulence equals more wind noise. The secret to minimize wind noise is to have a tall good windshields that has great aerodynamic.

Wow... Instead of thinking bigger higher windshield... A scarf can reduce the noise? No wonder i saw some riders use scarf which i thought as fashion. I need to try this!

Ear plugs are all you need. Windscreens are awful things. They create extra turbulence around the head area. I haven't had a bike with a screen for over 13 years.

@John_Neves 2 жыл бұрын

Oh yeah. Totally agree. But if you do want a screen, this actually helps quite a bit 👍

@SuperRider-RS 2 жыл бұрын

I use nonoise earplugs only if i'm going on long rides but windscreen does contribute to deflect wind, then again the rider's height comes to play, if tall then yes extra turbulence.

I'll admit i'm not a fan of any screen but I did need a faired bike for winter. Most are annoying and the Tracer 7 is kinda OK. Not GS or Tiger900 good but better than things like the S1000XR. The most expensive mistake I have ever made - apart from a bike - was the neotec 2. By shit that thing coupled with a tracer windscreen is annoying. For me at least. It doesnt help that my Monster1200 is near silent at 90mph. I keep telling myself it's worth it. Worst ever - Tiger 800 and Strom xt

@@I_am_Thursday not worse than my previous helmet with my FZ6 and MRA vario touring screen, but also not much better. I do love the helmet though, great fit and finish. I do think the helmet itself is quiter than my previous LS2, but altogether, the turbulent wind is still too loud (or maybe engine vibrations?)

@TheJWC56RSA Жыл бұрын

The absolute solution is not a screen, a scarf or earplugs... it is old age! Ask me, I know!! Throughout the last two years or so my helmet has gone awfully quiet!! (said with a tear in my eye). I miss the usual noise!! Regards....

I'm 66 and experience the opposite. Modern helmets are very noisy and I need earplugs now. I remember my old AGV helmet being much quieter back in 1978. I did not need earplugs then.

@blissseeker9 Жыл бұрын

Nice vid, but if you're riding in hot weather, it's actually better to have air travel inside the helmet, in fact i would suggest removing the chin curtain for a cooler head... Cheers

@fuglbird 14 күн бұрын

I disagree 100 %. The manufacturers today are focusing too much on ventilation. That makes their helmets almost unbearable noisy. Try a 50 year old integral helmet - if you can find one.

Allways wear ear plugs, i ride a naked and no screen but with howard ear plugs and dont suffer wind noise, also some helmets are more prone than others for wind noise, for me i foung aria helment the worst and cayburg full face the best with shark a close scond, all ways make sure a good fit with minimal protusions like camras and vents
