RE: 1250 RS Windscreen - Loud! - 16

My helmet (arai signet x) has a skirt of sorts under the chin. I've never tested it really to see if removing it would make it louder but seems likely. My point is that different helmets may help with noise.
I've had good luck with foam ear plugs since they expand once in my ear. Something like 36db reduction quoted.

"Even a blind squirrel (motorcyclist) finds a nut (solution to wind noise) once in a while."

After nearly tossing the WRS "sport" 13" screen and the MRA X-creen as ineffective, I tried something today and it worked. Mounted the WRS in upper mount holes, put X-creen on top with angle same as WRS screen, rotated to upper position and had a very nice ride.

Also used plenty of earplug lube on surfaces of plugs (custom) that contact the ear. Sealed gaps...helped, also.

I am cautiously optimistic this is going to be a long-term solution.

I have a pair of noise cancelling ear buds which work wonderfully on planes and the like. Never been able to wear than on the bike as my helmet pulls them out.

What helmet have you found that is really ear bud / hearing aid friendly? May have to smack the piggy back (again!).

Looking back, this was intended for John Brown and the thread has moved on a few posts while i wasn't watching.

chin curtains do wonders for basic noise reduction that much is true but the side-effect is a hotter/less vented helmet and a tighter squeeze when putting it on/off.
I've pulled it off both helmets I use and in the proper summer they are suffocating

How well did the WRS work without the X-Creen blade?

Did you experiment with different blade angles/positions?

Glad to hear that you have solved the wind noise issue, I have suffered from the same problem and like you tried all the screen settings, tried a z technik sports screen that made it worse, changed helmets, that improved it, noticed if I sat bolt upright and as far away from the bars as I could it was marginally better.
My other slight Issue was low speed handling, so wondered if changing the bars bar risers would help, then noticed BMW have added an ergonomic handlebars to the accessories list for the RS, so had those fitted earlier this month, this improved handling substantially and also made the ride slightly quieter.
Whilst looking at the forum earlier this week noticed DC had a Puig tour screen for sale and another earlier post for a MRA Vario spoiler, so a quick couple of posts and PM’s and on Thursday they safely arrived ( thanks DC)
Both fitted together that evening and fitted to the bike in the low setting, yesterday thought he we go at hot her day of experiments trying to improve things!
Clicked the vario up two clicks and set off, an amazing difference and like a different bike, quiet but with enough wind to keep things cool, extremely comfortable with much improved handling, so 70 odd miles later I was amazed by the improvements, that this combination of bars screen and spoiler has made, with just a bit of wind noise at 70 mph, but far quieter than before, was temped to tweak the vario, but not going to do anything until I’ve measured everything so can be sure I can put it back to the same setting, hopefully that’s the issue solved for me.

Does anyone have any idea how the ergonomic BMW bar differs from the Wunderlich handlebar conversion kit?

Presumably this is BMW saying that the standard RS bars aren't ergonomic;)

@Wayfarer when you say touring, do you mean touring plus? Ie the taller of the two Puig screens? That is what I use with the Puig spoiler and that has sorted it for me as well.

I bought it from a member on the forum and used the description in the ad,, but just googled Puig screens and checked the measurements and that indicates it is the touring plus, as it’s 555 mm tall.

Anyway happy days whatever it’s called, as it works, might even take the bike down to Devon later next week and see how it performs on the 500 mile round trip.
