Solving My Wind Problem | BMW F650GS Episode 2

- The BMW F650GS is great as a first "big" bike. We've had a couple of local adventures, shown in this video, and plan to have a lot more on it, but there's a problem... the wind noise!
Above about 30mph the wind noise is very loud. The stock screen seems to focus the wind onto my head. The airflow seems to be fairly clean, not turbulent, but it's still too loud. I tried with a deflector, but the turbulence was awful. Can a cheap £28 Chinese screen from eBay be the answer?...

Great channel. Just discovered it as I'm looking for an F650gs. Seeing one tomorrow actually with 50k miles. You've got a new sub, from just up the M5 in Worcester. I also had the RYD, but as it reached 5 years old, replaced with the NXR2 and found it to be quieter. Good tip on the screen and fuel pump though! Brilliant presenting style!
Have a thumbs up just for your amazing hair!
That is the screen shape used on the 2001-2003 Dakar.
I like the way your ride your 650, not afraid to use the RPMs in the 4000-5500 range. This makes my bike happy too. I am disappointed that the aerofoil experiment failed as I hoped to fix my wind that way.
If you put a strip of velcro on the front lower area of the helmet and sew the other part of the velcro to a piece of cloth that goes down about 12 inches it will make any helmet a lot quieter . It also helps in colder riding .
The originale Dakar-Windshild is for the pre-facelift the best :)
Heys. Do you have a link to the Chinese windscreen?
I have the F700GS and put the Givi AirFlow on. Possibly the best mod ever
Do you have a link to the new screen?
I had the same issues on my Triumph Scrambler. I bought several screens, short, tall, even some extenders. I bought a new helmet, custom made earplugs, nothing worked.
Sweet MTB!
Nice video! What intercom system have you got and would you recommend it?
That looks like a proper bmw OEM screen (the one you bought online). At least mine looks the same (f650gs Dakar 2001)
Thanks for the video, Im having the same problem with mine at m\way speed, I think I'll do the same, did you sort the seat out ?
Great vid, can you post a link to the lights and bar, thanks
Where was the lake?
this screen designed from China with a flick is a knock off of a genuine BMW 650 Dakar model screen
How distracting to have the whole edge of the windscreen lit up like a chintzy christmas ornament. Big Fail ..tape edge around the head lamp !
