- Always wear appropriate safety gear, including eye protection, when installing or maintaining motorcycle accessories.
- Ensure the motorcycle is stable and turned off before beginning installation.

- A damaged or improperly installed windshield can impair visibility and affect motorcycle handling. Replace or re-secure as necessary.
6. Installation Guide
Installation typically involves attaching the windshield to the front of your SUZUKI UE125 using the provided mounting hardware. While specific steps may vary slightly based on your scooter's exact model year, the general procedure is as follows:
- Prepare the Motorcycle: Park your SUZUKI UE125 on a level surface using its center stand or a paddock stand to ensure stability. Turn off the engine and remove the key.
- Identify Mounting Points: Locate the designated mounting points on the front of your scooter, usually near the handlebars or headlight assembly. These are typically existing bolt holes.
- Assemble Brackets (if necessary): If your mounting hardware includes multiple bracket pieces, assemble them according to any included diagrams (not provided in this general manual).
- Attach Brackets to Motorcycle: Securely attach the mounting brackets to the motorcycle's frame using the appropriate screws and washers. Do not fully tighten yet.
- Position the Windshield: Carefully align the windshield with the brackets. The windshield typically has pre-drilled holes that match the bracket's attachment points.
- Secure the Windshield: Attach the windshield to the brackets using the remaining screws, washers, and nuts. Ensure the windshield is centered and at the desired angle.
- Final Tightening: Once the windshield is correctly positioned, gradually tighten all fasteners. Start with the windshield-to-bracket connections, then the bracket-to-motorcycle connections. Ensure all bolts are snug but do not overtighten.
- Check for Clearance: Turn the handlebars from lock to lock to ensure the windshield does not interfere with any controls, mirrors, or other parts of the scooter.
- Test Ride: After installation, perform a short test ride at low speeds to confirm stability and proper fitment before riding at higher speeds.
7. Operating Instructions
Once installed, the windshield operates passively by deflecting wind and debris. No active operation is required. Ensure your line of sight is clear through the windshield, especially if you have chosen a tinted (Smoke Grey) option. Adjust your riding posture if necessary to maintain optimal visibility.
8. Maintenance
Proper maintenance will prolong the life and clarity of your windshield:
- Cleaning: Clean the windshield regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or rough sponges, as these can scratch the ABS material. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
- Inspection: Periodically check all mounting hardware for tightness. Vibrations from riding can cause bolts to loosen over time. Inspect the windshield for cracks, chips, or excessive hazing that could impair visibility.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the motorcycle in a shaded area or cover the windshield to protect it from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause material degradation.
9. Troubleshooting
- Windshield Vibrates: Check all mounting bolts and nuts to ensure they are securely tightened. Ensure the brackets are correctly installed and not bent.
- Reduced Visibility: Clean the windshield thoroughly. If hazing or scratches persist, consider replacement. Ensure your chosen windshield height does not obstruct your view.
- Wind Noise/Buffeting: While windshields reduce wind, some noise or buffeting can still occur. Experiment with riding posture. Ensure the windshield is securely mounted and not loose.
- Difficulty Installing: Double-check that you have the correct model for your SUZUKI UE125. Review the installation steps and ensure all hardware is used correctly. If issues persist, professional installation may be required.
10. User Tips
- For optimal wind protection, consider your typical riding speed and height when choosing between the available windshield sizes (35cm to 55cm).
- Regularly check the tightness of the mounting screws, especially after the first few rides, as components can settle.
- When cleaning, use only motorcycle-specific windshield cleaners or mild soap and water to avoid damaging the ABS material.
