How loud, in db, is the stock horn on a Burgman 650? I'm looking at replacements, but won't have the opportunity to actually hear them, so I have to rely on db measurements.
In my newbie experience, I would say slightly louder than a medium fart. It screams scooter.How loud, in db, is the stock horn on a Burgman 650? I'm looking at replacements, but won't have the opportunity to actually hear them, so I have to rely on db measurements.
It does. Fortunately there is room behind the plastic to mount another horn on the right fork, with a length of strapping and a couple of hose clamps. Put a FIIAM horn there. Replace the OEM horn with another FIIAM horn, a hi/lo pair. To power the horns, run a wire from the main (with an inline fuse), hook it into a 12V relay with the OEM horn wires hooked up to trigger it, run the output to the horns and ground them to the frame. It all sits neatly above the radiator behind the front wheel.In my newbie experience, I would say slightly louder than a medium fart. It screams scooter.
That is the setup I am using on my 650 except I ran my power wire from the battery and ran a ground wire back to the battery and not the frame. That takes the horn loading off the bikes wiring and ignition switch.It does.

I found it easier to tap into the (15A) circuit for the 12v outlet. It's easy to reach in the fuse panel and the circuit is not generally used when the bike is running. Much easier than fishing a wire from the battery...That is the setup I am using on my 650 except I ran my power wire from the battery and ran a ground wire back to the battery and not the frame.

It does get people's attention.
