1.1 Required Tools (General)

• Appropriate wrenches or sockets for fasteners.
• Screwdrivers (Phillips or flathead, as required).

• Soft cloth for cleaning.

1.2 Installation Steps

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Verify that all components listed in the product's packing list are present and undamaged.
2. Prepare Motorcycle: Park the motorcycle on a stable, level surface. Turn off the engine and remove the ignition key. If replacing an existing windshield, carefully remove it according to your motorcycle's service manual.
3. Attach Mounting Brackets: Secure the GIVI D7402S mounting brackets to the designated points on your motorcycle. Ensure all fasteners are hand-tightened initially. Do not fully tighten at this stage.
4. Position Windshield: Carefully place the D7402S windshield onto the attached mounting brackets. Align the mounting holes on the windshield with the bracket attachment points.
5. Secure Windshield: Insert all necessary bolts, washers, and nuts to secure the windshield to the brackets. Hand-tighten all fasteners.
6. Adjust and Final Tighten: Once the windshield is in place, adjust its position for optimal fit and alignment. Ensure it does not interfere with steering or other controls. Gradually tighten all fasteners to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications. Avoid over-tightening, which can damage the windshield or mounting hardware.
7. Final Inspection: After installation, gently shake the windshield to confirm it is securely mounted and stable. Check for any loose parts or improper alignment.
