    Hey there heavyduty, what everyone else said about the mute button and the fade settings. I'd like to add this, if there is another F6B in the showroom try that radio [without riding] and compare. There could be a deficiency in the one you tried.

    If that is/was the problem your dealer should be given a serious ass kicking

    With the avc on, my volume is set to no more than 16 running 65-70mph.
    If your dealer pushes what he thinks is the mute button and the horn blows....run as fast as you can to another Honda dealer

    Please update us on what the problem was.
    Good luck!

    +1 to this post. I usually don't have to go above 17 with AVC on. I can hear just fine at 65-75mph.

    Yeah, I thought the same thing. Try a ride on a bike with a good stereo and you'll understand, at any speed. The difference is that big.

    Don't mean to upset anyone on that. I still love the bike. Do I have to love everything about the bike? Some of you groan on end about the paint and I could care less. Also, watts mean nothing if the output sucks. Maybe the speaker upgrade is worth a look ...

    Call Track n Trail in State College, Pa. They have 3 new ones in crates and the best prices around ($16,300.00 for deluxe, $15,300.00 for base out the door - did not include sales tax or registration since I live out of state). Worth the 470 mile round trip (rode my trade there) as the bset price in New Jersey was $2,000.00 more.

    Bought 1 there last week, rode the bike home 235 miles with stock ws. Had radio on 20 and could hear when at lower speeds through my full face.

    Was in your hometown twice over the years to pick up my new Checkmates. Do they still make them there or did they move it to China or something?

But here's my gripe .. Had the Radio all the way up on 30 an could not here it going 40mph or faster, whats up with that. Even just setting there with the bike off, the volume at 30 sucked. Even the sale's person was surprised at how low volume was.We checked a reg Goldwing an it doz,nt even compare.Are you guys adding amp's or are there maybe something wrong , it was the only F6B there, so had nothing to compare it too.If it wasn't for the volume of the radio I would have brought it TODAY, It is not a windshield problem know that for a fact.


    MUTE will get you....
