I found this on a yamaha site
"Crosswinds can create a venturi effect across the intake opening. This will reduce the airbox pressure. (It's like blowing across the top of a beer bottle.) This is why modern ram air intakes have more than one opening, to compensate for the crosswinds. One of the original ram air bikes had a single opening and crosswinds created a dip in power that could be felt by the rider."
My guess is that much less air is entering the engine as the gust occurs, Lots of fuel+ no air = bogging/ stalling

I have done nothing to the bike yet, as it snapped a clutch cable when I was at Ray and I-10. Good to see another local on here. Im doing the clutch cable and ape CCT when I get off school tonight.
