Upgrading horn?

[Auzfest]

Is there a horn out there that will be an improvement on the shite that comes as standard. Preferably one that is a straight swap over and wont need a relay fitting

[Auzfest]

Bike is a yamaha xt 125

Stebel Nautilus.

Assuming it's 12V, put a 6V horn on it. Works perfectly as long as you don't burn it out using it for minutes on end. Will be physically identical to stock item and cheap to boot.

Great pieces of kit, got them on a boat I work on...

Or a Stebel Magnum will do the job quite nicely without being as bulky.

Some of the standard ones are tunable. If it has a screw with locknut on the back, have a play with that.

My stebel nautilus is currently fitted to a R125 with no relay and works just fine straight onto the original loom connections. They are louder if you run them through a relay with heavy gauge wire direct off the battery, and ear-bleedingly loud if you run them on 24V in your workshop

I also have a Stebel Nautilus, the full size one not the compact. I run it through a relay because, as someone mentioned, it will not work as well on stock wiring due to insufficient current reaching it, they draw a whopping 25amps, far more than the standard horn circuit can cope with.

I had mine fitted neatly under the tank on my old Fireblade but it was a hell of a bother fitting it to my new one, ended up mounted behind the numberplate in the undertray but it's stowed neatly and is even louder than the previous method. I drive articulated trucks at work and none of them have horns as good, most are far more pathetic.

Jeez my Stebel Magnum is loud enough. (fitted with a relay)

Would hate to be near a Nautilus fitted with a relay when that muther goes.

Yes, I didn't have any hose though and tbh even seperated it would still present a problem, there really is not space on the Fireblade, under the seat I had the Power commander and needed space for other things. Inside the rear panels is totally rammed with stuff and it's the same story elsewhere. It fits where it is though so it's all sorted. No idea how loud the Magnum is but you wouldn't want louder than the Nautilus, I might take a video one day.

[Finglonga]

The Magnum is no comparison to the Nautilus. Tried one and it was taken off straight away as compared to the Nautilus it was whispering.

The Stebel Nautilus is not just a horn.

It's a 'GET TO FUCK OFF!!!' horn.


Don't dismis the relay, it's simple to fit and well worth the effort if it needs it.

I have a Stebel Nautilus sitting in my garage at home. Tried for ages to find somewhere to put it on my CBR600rr but no such luck. Shame, as I love scaring old women....
