at least i'm honest

,,, have engine noise coming from speakers, what did you connect your speakes to that got rid off noise,,i do not have a filter on it yet, have one handy but thought maybe i hooked it to the wrong power. thanks

Any power wire should work, I can't remember which one I connected to but if you hear the buzzing it could be the radio itself. Install the filter and you should be good.

thanks so much, i dont have my sirius connected yet, but when i start the bike i hear the noise through the speakers and of course it up and down with the throttle

Filter should take care of that problem. If you are getting power to it you should have it wired correctly. Otherwise you would have blown something.

They make filters for those.... chocolate! If she's anything like my wife just load your pockets with chocolates, she'll find'em.

bugman · 03-17-2010, 08:27 PM

bugman · 03-17-2010, 08:28 PM

Actually you probably don't need a filter. I had the same issue with my J&M CB and XM radio. Turned out that I had the power leads right next to the spark plug wires. Inductive pickup caused the noise. I ran the power leads along the spine of the frame away from the plug wires and I had extra cable for the antenna and radio harness that I had stuffed in under the fuel tank on top of the engine. I pulled the fork cover off and neatly dressed the extra length in between the forks. Problem went away.

mine don't say much. have to make sure she's awake every now and then.
