Setup and Installation
This section outlines the general procedure for installing the Puig 1665N Racing Screen. Specific steps may vary slightly depending on your motorcycle model.
- Prepare the Motorcycle:
Park the motorcycle on a level surface using its center stand or a paddock stand for stability. Ensure the engine is off and cool.

- Position the New Screen:
Align the Puig 1665N Racing Screen with the mounting holes on your motorcycle's fairing.

Operating Considerations
The Puig 1665N Racing Screen is designed to improve aerodynamics and rider comfort.
- The "race bubble" design helps to diminish air effect on the rider's helmet, especially at higher speeds.
- Be aware that the dark tint of the screen may reduce visibility through it, particularly in low-light conditions. Always look over the screen, not through it, when riding.
Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your racing screen.
- Cleaning:
Use only mild soap and water with a soft, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, ammonia-based cleaners, or abrasive materials, as these can scratch or damage the acrylic. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean, soft cloth.
- Inspection:
Periodically check all mounting hardware for tightness. Inspect the screen for cracks, deep scratches, or signs of fatigue. Replace the screen if significant damage is present.
Troubleshooting
- Excessive Vibration:
Ensure all mounting screws are securely tightened. Check for any loose fairing components.
- Loose Fit:
Re-check all mounting points and ensure the correct hardware is used. Verify that the screen is properly seated.
- Scratches or Damage:
Minor scratches may sometimes be polished out with specialized acrylic polish. For significant damage, replacement is recommended.
