    Dead bugs inside the speaker grills?

    What the heck? Has anyone else experienced this? Small bugs -- mosquitoes it looks like but squished against the inside of the grills.

    I've found plenty of bugs attached to various nooks and crannies in front of the bike, but not yet inside the speaker grills. Time for the Exterminator.

    If you have an air compressor, just blow them out...be gentle around the face of the speakers.... or just grab the face of the grill and pull it out and shake the bugs out and snap it back on.....ride on.......

    So it's just a press fit?

    I just use a soft toothbrush and they go somewhere..Probably at the bottom of the speaker...I was recently advised to use one of the small cans of "Dust-off" compressed air used for computers, sewing machines, cameras, etc....Works great so far.....

    Pulled off the Tupperware to clean the other day and found the windshield washer! That's where it went.

    I had a butterfly, about the size of my palm, stuck in the left side grille, still alive.
    At that time I was unaware of how to remove the cover. That night I searched how to remove the cover, went
    out the next morning and no more butterfly. It found its own way out.

    Dead bugs inside the speaker grills?

    I know that the yellow and red F6B's have been known to experience issues with bugs in the speaker grilles.
    This is not an issue with the fast black F6b, there aren't many bugs capable of that speed.
    But I have heard that increasing the volume to max while playing Led Zeppelin will chase those little suckers away in no time flat.
