Leaves, bugs, butterflies and small trash collecting behind speaker grill

[Schuvwj]

Has anyone had this problem with there 2013 f6b? I removed the speaker grill covers to clean the dead bugs, leaves, and small paper trash stuck behind the speaker grills. Once I clean the trash and bugs they were back again in 200 miles! I used an air hose to clean around the speaker area but they returned within 200 mi.

Any fix from Honda on this problem? My major concern is trash and dead bugs collecting behind the speakers resulting in speaker failure.

We all have the same issue, but I haven't heard of a fix.

I hope you're not removing the speaker grills from the plastic, you don't need to do that. Pull up on the plastic around the ignition key and it will pop up and the junk will fall out.

I am removing the whole plastic cover. Thanks!

Yeah get used to it. The junk works its way out on its own eventually.

Same issue with all the previous versions of the Goldwing. I just pop the dash loose and blow the trash out with compressed air.

Same here.

I am so glad I saw this posting as I've only had my F6B two weeks now and it has some straw and leaves in behind the speaker grill...I couldn't believe what I saw so timing was perfect. :bowdown: There must be a reason Honda has designed this cockpit area the way they did so as to allow this stuff to collect!!! :banghead:

Bama, not to worry. I use the air hose from time to time. More important watch for leaves in the front air intake behind front tyre. We had to stop and clean Hornblowers F6B intakes as I was kicking up leaves and he was vacuuming them up..

Yes, there is a good reason for collecting all those bugs, leaves and butterflies....it is called...dinner. It prevents a long distance rider from having to stop and eat. This way the LD rider can simply eat on the go. :icon_mrgreen:
