4. Setup & Installation
This section details the step-by-step process for installing the Puig 6789W Traffic Windscreen on your Honda Wave (2012-2013).
4.1. Tools Required
- Hex key set
- Wrench set
- Screwdriver (Phillips or flathead, as required)
- Soft cloth for cleaning
4.2. Installation Steps
- Prepare the Motorcycle: Park the Honda Wave on a stable, level surface. Turn off the engine and remove the key.
- Identify Mounting Points: Locate the designated mounting points on your Honda Wave's handlebars or front fairing. These are typically existing bolt holes.
- Assemble Brackets: Attach the provided mounting brackets to the windscreen using the smaller bolts and washers. Do not fully tighten yet.
- Attach to Motorcycle: Carefully position the windscreen assembly onto the motorcycle's mounting points. Use the larger bolts, washers, and nuts to secure the brackets to the motorcycle. Hand-tighten all fasteners initially.
- Adjust Position: Adjust the windscreen's angle and height to your preferred riding position. Ensure it does not obstruct your view or interfere with steering.
- Final Tightening: Once the desired position is achieved, progressively tighten all bolts and nuts. Ensure they are secure but do not overtighten. Double-check all connections.
5. Operating
Once installed, the Puig 6789W Traffic Windscreen operates passively by deflecting wind and debris. No active operation is required. Before each ride, perform a quick visual inspection to ensure the windscreen is securely attached and free from damage.
6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life and clarity of your windscreen.
- Cleaning: Clean the windscreen regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the plastic material. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean, soft cloth.
- Inspection: Periodically check all mounting bolts and nuts for tightness. Vibrations from riding can cause fasteners to loosen over time. Inspect the windscreen for cracks, scratches, or other damage.
- Storage: If storing the motorcycle for an extended period, consider covering the windscreen to protect it from dust and UV exposure.
