4. Installation Guide

Before beginning installation, ensure your motorcycle is stable and turned off. Gather all components: two deflectors, four rubber washers, and four screws.

1. Identify Mounting Points: Locate the designated mounting areas on the side panels near the handlebars of your BMW R1200GS Adventure or R1250GS Adventure. Refer to the images below for visual guidance.

   Figure 2: Close-up of the specific mounting location near the handlebar.
2. Prepare Components: Ensure you have the two deflector panels, four rubber washers, and four screws ready.
   Figure 3: Included components: deflectors, rubber washers, and screws.
3. Position the Deflector: Align one deflector panel with the pre-drilled holes on your motorcycle's side panel.
4. Secure with Washers and Screws: Place a rubber washer over each screw. Insert the screws through the deflector and into the motorcycle's mounting points. The rubber washers help prevent damage and ensure a snug fit.

5. Tighten Screws: Carefully tighten the screws. Do not over-tighten, as this can damage the deflector or cause the rubber washers to burst. Ensure the deflector is securely in place but not stressed.

6. Repeat for Other Side: Install the second deflector on the opposite side of the motorcycle following the same steps.

5. Operation

These side wind deflectors are a passive accessory. Once correctly installed, they function by redirecting airflow away from the rider's legs, enhancing comfort and reducing wind resistance during motorcycle operation, especially on long rides. No active operation is required.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Clean the deflectors with mild soap and water using a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or rough sponges, as these can scratch the acrylic surface.
• Inspection: Before each ride, visually inspect the deflectors for any signs of cracks, chips, or other damage. If significant damage is present, consider replacement.
• Fastener Check: Periodically check the tightness of the mounting screws. Vibrations from riding can sometimes loosen fasteners. Re-tighten gently if necessary, ensuring not to over-tighten.

7. Troubleshooting

• Loose Fit / Excessive Movement:
  Check if the mounting screws are sufficiently tightened. Ensure the rubber washers are correctly positioned between the deflector and the motorcycle's surface. Over-tightening can damage washers, leading to looseness.
• Unusual Vibration:
  Verify that both deflectors are securely mounted and all screws are tightened appropriately. Ensure no parts are loose or improperly aligned.
• Reduced Wind Deflection Effectiveness:
  Confirm that the deflectors are installed in the correct orientation and position as shown in the installation images. Ensure they are not obstructed.
• Damaged Rubber Washers:
  If rubber washers appear damaged or burst during installation, they may have been over-tightened. Replace damaged washers and re-install with appropriate torque.

8. User Tips

• When installing, ensure proper tightening of screws, but avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to the rubber washers and the deflector itself.
• Consider your riding conditions and aesthetic preference when choosing between transparent and black deflectors. Transparent options may offer better visual integration, while black provides a distinct look.
• Regularly check the deflectors for any signs of wear or damage, especially before long rides, to ensure continued safety and performance.
• Always double-check the compatibility with your specific motorcycle model and year. These deflectors are designed for 'Adventure' models and may not fit standard R1200GS/R1250GS.
• Clean the acrylic surface with care to avoid scratches, which can impair visibility (for transparent models) and overall appearance.
