Wind Bogging Engine - Carb Vent Hose

Wind Bogging Engine - Carb Vent Hose

"I recently had a weird problem on a gusty wind ride. When I was riding into or away from the wind, my 1100 Classic ran fine but when I was in the heavy cross winds (sometimes leaning into it) the engine started cutting out. (I have a MaxAir kit.) Could the wind blowing across the pods/carbs have effected performance ... and more important...how to avoid it without staying home on windy days?"

BEST Solution - TimB:

Tuck the offending hose up under the tank so it does not hang down - use zip tie to the upper frame to hold it there.

Some riders have simply cut the end of the vent hose at a 45 degree angle....but results have been inconsistent.
