new stebel air horn

[Jeff Khoury]

Yes, the relay packed with the horn is shite. I replaced it with an equivalent Borg-Warner relay and it works fine.

I believe the problem is when these horns are submerged or take water into the air inlet of this horn. Stebel provides an adapter for an inlet hose that is to be run to a protected area like under your gas tank. If this adapter is not used or water is allowed to enter the inlet, then the horn could have problems. I see this new horn has a plastic cover over the top of the compressor, so maybe they thought that this area was not sealed well enough. I don t see this as a problem with just the Stebel air horn but any air horn that compresses air to make a horn work. You have to have an air inlet and an outlet. The Stebel compact air horn is still the loudest motorcycle horn that I know of. > > Fred > http://www.arrowheadmotorsports.com > > > > From: david.r.nichols@... > Sent: Wednesday, August 31, 2011 6:13 AM > To: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [DSN_KLR650] New Stebel air horn > > > Looks like Stebel is coming out with a new improved air horn. They are advertising that this is: "More water proof than Nautilus Compact". I have read (advrider.com) that some people have been having problems with water in their old Stebels. Fred, have you hear anything of this? I see you carry the original Stebel nautilus. > > http://www.stebel.it/stebel2009/products.asp?IDserie=14&uso=&tipologia=TUNING > > > > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] >
