Please verify your motorcycle's make, model, and year before installation to ensure proper fitment. This product is not compatible with Suzuki V-Strom 2008 models.

3. Features

• Material: Made from impact-resistant acrylic, 3 or 4 mm thick (thickness may vary by specific model).
• Enhanced Protection: Its superior height compared to original domes improves rider protection, safety, and comfort by deflecting wind more effectively.
• Certified Design: The dome features a 2 mm rounded edge, ensuring compliance with German TÜV regulations for safety and quality.
• Aerodynamic Study: Includes an aerodynamic study (model-dependent) to demonstrate its performance benefits.

4. Setup and Installation

Installation of the Puig 5895W Touring Windscreen is designed to be straightforward. Each windscreen is supplied with detailed mounting instructions specific to the compatible motorcycle models.

1. Preparation: Ensure the motorcycle is stable and turned off. Gather all necessary tools as indicated in the provided mounting instructions.
2. Removal of Original Windscreen: Carefully remove the existing windscreen from your motorcycle, following the manufacturer's guidelines.
3. Mounting the Puig Windscreen: Align the Puig 5895W windscreen with the mounting points on your motorcycle. Secure it using the provided hardware and follow the torque specifications in the instructions.
4. Clearance Check: After installation, ensure there is adequate clearance between the windscreen and any other motorcycle components (e.g., fairing, handlebars) to prevent rubbing or damage during operation. If necessary, minor adjustments or the use of rubber spacers may be required to achieve optimal clearance.
5. Final Inspection: Double-check all fasteners to ensure they are securely tightened before operating the motorcycle.

For detailed, step-by-step instructions, always refer to the specific mounting guide included with your product.

5. Operating Considerations

Once installed, the Puig 5895W Touring Windscreen is designed to provide improved aerodynamic performance and rider comfort. Riders may experience reduced wind pressure on the chest and helmet, especially at higher speeds.

• Visibility: Ensure the transparent windscreen provides clear, unobstructed vision in all riding conditions.
• Airflow: While designed to reduce buffeting, individual rider height, helmet type, and motorcycle setup can influence airflow. Some riders may find adjusting the windscreen's height (if the motorcycle allows) beneficial for optimizing airflow and minimizing buffeting.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will prolong the life and clarity of your Puig Touring Windscreen.

• Cleaning: Clean the windscreen regularly using a soft cloth and mild soap with lukewarm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the acrylic surface. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean, soft cloth to prevent water spots.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the windscreen for any signs of cracks, scratches, or damage. Check all mounting hardware for tightness and ensure no components have loosened over time due to vibrations.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the motorcycle in a shaded area or cover the windscreen to protect it from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause material degradation.

7. Troubleshooting

• Excessive Buffeting: If you experience significant wind buffeting, first ensure the windscreen is installed correctly and securely. If your motorcycle allows for height adjustment of the windscreen, experiment with different positions. Rider height and helmet design can also influence airflow dynamics.
• Vibrations or Rattling: Check all mounting bolts and fasteners to ensure they are tightened to the recommended specifications. Verify that the windscreen is not making contact with other parts of the motorcycle, which could cause noise or rubbing.
• Poor Fitment: Re-verify that the product model (5895W) is indeed compatible with your specific motorcycle make, model, and year. Refer to the compatibility section and the product's official documentation.
