Love my DL650, on ride out I can keep up with all the big boys, wait outside the petrol station while they all fill up with petrol,got all the extras, but don't know how much longer I can put up with the ears ringing, now going to remove the mirrors and ride 20 miles without them.

What screen do you have?

mallywoods · « **Reply #2 on:** May 04, 2017, 20:45:58 »

Removed the original Suzuki screen and fitted a Suzuki touring screen with the adjustable airflow. No noticeable difference.

The Givi Airflow is definitely worth a try, if it doesn't work for you then sell it on.

See if you can blag a ride on a glee with a Givi Airflow fitted. Stick a location in your profile and nearby strommers may be able to oblige.

What year is your bike, K4-L1 or L2-L6? If you aren't using ear plugs as should be used on any bike, the ringing can become permanent.

I had to use a combination of... standard screen, with Givi airflow adjustable top section (bike came with that), mounted on a Madstad adjustable bracket (I added that).
All these acting together gives me blast & buffet free riding.
Before that the helmet hammer was horrendous.

I will check out the givi airflow, does anyone know if Suzuki have addressed this problem with the newest model?

It isn't really a problem as such, it affects some riders and not others. It can depend on the rider height, lid etc.

Ah, the joys of being 5'11''. Never had a buffering problem on mine.....well nothing out of the ordinary that is. Get a couple of inch's chopped off your shins.

mallywoods · « **Reply #10 on:** May 04, 2017, 21:37:50 »

Well I don't really want to sell it on, prepared to spend a bit of cash to try and improve the problem. Thanks all

I think FR meant sell the screen on if it doesn't work for you, not the bike. There's usually a healthy appetite for a bargain Airflow on here.

Fat Rat · « **Reply #12 on:** May 04, 2017, 22:00:24 »

Yes, I meant sell the screen on

Never had a bike that doesn't have a ringing in the ears. DL650 L5 with a Givi airflow is OK. Up till 90mph anyway, after that gets boring after 5 mins

mallywoods · « **Reply #14 on:** May 05, 2017, 08:45:31 »

This is all good advice and thanks to all, do I need to buy a madstad bracket to go with the givi airflow???

Rusty Nuts · « **Reply #15 on:** May 05, 2017, 09:22:02 »

Probably not. Try without first. If you do, you'll need a screen for an older wee to fit. Expensive minefield.

mallywoods · « **Reply #16 on:** May 05, 2017, 10:38:33 »

sorry to be a pest, will buy givi airflow, does it fit on my original screen or do I need to by an additional screen to fit the givi screen to, cannot seem to find any fitting instructions, Thanks everyone.

Rusty Nuts · « **Reply #17 on:** May 05, 2017, 11:43:25 »

Givi airflow is a complete, model specific screen. Remove original and replace with Airflow. Some new rubber "well nuts" may be needed if originals damaged or you lose them in the removal process. Not a pest, it's what the forums (fora?) are for.

Yeah,but No.but Yeah but etc.
No offence and all that but .... Just for the sake of common understanding of the problem:-
I think the problem is Buffeting ..... but so many people refer to "Buffering"
Buffering is almost the opposite of Buffeting
