I own the Epic Air Elite head phones. Today, while riding my bike I had so much wind noise that I had to turn off my music. This has never happened. Is there an adjustment?

SOURCE: Riding today and at 35

Check compensating sprocket nut for tightness. If this has been removed in the past and not reinstalled correctly the nut WILL work itself loose causing a knocking or slapping noise from primary chaincase. Everytime this nut is removed, all the threads must be cleaned from the old locktite, both nut and shaft. This does not mean simply blowing it with air nut wire brushing it. Otherwise the old locktite will give a false torque settinf (nut will tighten on old lockite, not metal).

SOURCE: I have a 2010 Goldwing GL1800. I'm having controll issues when riding 70 MPH or faster, especially with a cross wind or tail wind. What can cause the bike to wobblie and drift?

probably nothing because at 70mph any form of wind will greatly affect the handling of the bike
at 70mph even truck, stability can be affected by winds and they have more wheels than a bike

My wind bike seems to be having more black colored smoke emissions? whats the problem? the valve was mop already and adjusted.

I am not familiar with your Baja Wind 125 motorcycle, however, normally, black smoke is associated with too much unburned fuel in the exhaust - too rich a mixture. Is your choke fully open when this is happening? Are yo usure? Remove and examine your spark plug(s). I expect they will be sooty sooty black. Is your air filter clean, the air path completely unobstructed? Have you messed with the fuel adjustment? (I am not familiar with the term 'mop') Is your bike equipped with a Cat Converter? If so (not likely ...) it may have to be cleaned or replaced.

Some times, black smoke or sootie plugs results from using too low a gear, not running the engine fast enough for the riding conditions. Usually, the engine will buck if you are expecting too much from it by being in too high a gear. This is a very rare condition, having too low RPM for conditions.

FYI, Black smoke = too much fuel, Gray or Blue smoke = burning oil (worn rings?), White smoke (in water cooled engines) = water in the oil, blown head gasket or other trouble.

If your bike was recently serviced, I suggest you return to the mechanic and have them take another look at your motorcycle. If not, this may not be a bad idea anyway. You do want your motorcycle to perform optimally, right? Best ride and economical operation = most fun.

Some other things you can try, get a hotter plug. Replace the air filter.

I hope this helps you with your Black Smoke issue.

Hello, I have a 94 Harley FXR. I went for a bike ride today and as I was riding I noticed a noise that would come and go coming from the front end. When I got home the engine died on me and now it wont...

Check for battery voltage going to the primary side of the coil when you have the switch turned on. If you don't have any voltage, you won't have any spark either. You may have to disconnect the small wires to check for the voltage.

You can test the coil using an ohm meter. Disconnect the small wires and put your meter's function switch in R X 1 position. Touch the meter leads to each of the primary coil winding posts. You should read between 2-3 ohms.

As for the noise from the front end, I don't have any idea. You may want to pull the headlamp and look inside the there. I think the FXR is like a Sportster in the fact that most of the wiring is in the headlight assembly.

Good Luck

2005 crf250r trans oil and funny noise

The water pump seal is maybe gone.This would allow water into the trans.Get it checked and also that the bearing hasn,t spun in its location.This may cause the color change.Being a grey color,it may indicate aluminium in the oil.This may be the spun bearing turning in the housing.With what you wrote,I would get these things looked at.I hope this helps you

My ninja loses power in the wind

Do you have a "RAM AIR" system on that bike, if so that may be what happens when you ride into a headwind. The bike may be running a little lean and with the extra intake pressure goes too lean.

Running better in cold

Cold air is denser and you'll get more air in the bike and the engine compensates with more fuel. It's cold as hell at 20F outside but damn does the bike run crisp!,,
