Default One speaker cuts out...

When I turn my handlebars to the extreme right, the right speaker in the fairing goes silent. It comes back on after I turn to the other side. Works fine while riding. Obviously, it's time to remove the fairing and see if I can find something loose. Anyone ever experience this before? Any insights as to where to look for the problem?

Just follow the wiring. Sounds like a little stress on one is causing a problem. Just open it up, turn on your radio and pull on the wires a little to see which one is causing the problem. It could be your bike doesn't like to make right turns, so you could skip checking out the wires and make only left turns from now on.

A very reasonable solution that I had not thought of. Only left turns. It could work. I'll let you know if I ever return home...

Typical,
I had a knocking sound coming from my inner fairing area on my '13 RGC and after removing the outer fairing, one of the large gang connectors that is supposed to be secured was just flopping around. It was obvious it was never secured on the assembly line.
