4. Setup and Installation
Before beginning installation, ensure your motorcycle is stable on a level surface and the engine is off and cool. Refer to your motorcycle's service manual for specific instructions on removing the original windscreen, if applicable.
- Compatibility Check: This screen is designed for specific motorcycle models. Verify compatibility with your motorcycle model before installation. Refer to the product description or Puig's official website for a detailed compatibility list.
- Remove Original Windscreen (if applicable): Carefully remove the existing windscreen from your motorcycle. Keep all original mounting hardware in case you need to reinstall it later.
- Attach the Visor to the Touring Screen: The Puig Touring Screen comes with pre-drilled holes for easy attachment of the multi-adjustable visor. Align the visor with these holes and secure it using the provided screws. Ensure the visor is oriented correctly for adjustment.
- Position the Puig Touring Screen: Place the Puig Touring Screen onto your motorcycle's fairing, aligning its mounting holes with the corresponding points on your motorcycle.
- Secure the Screen: Use the provided mounting hardware to attach the screen to your motorcycle. Start by hand-tightening all screws to ensure proper alignment. Once all screws are in place, progressively tighten them evenly. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the screen or fairing.
- Final Inspection: After installation, gently shake the screen to ensure it is securely mounted and does not wobble. Check for any obstructions or interference with handlebars, mirrors, or other components when turning the handlebars lock-to-lock.

5. Operating Instructions
The primary operational feature of the Puig 6253H Touring Screen is its multi-adjustable visor, designed to optimize airflow and reduce buffeting for the rider.
- Visor Adjustment: The integrated visor can be manually adjusted to different positions to direct airflow over or around the rider's helmet. Experiment with various settings at safe speeds to find the optimal position for your height and riding style.
- Aerodynamic Benefits: The screen and visor work together to improve the motorcycle's aerodynamics, potentially reducing wind noise and rider fatigue on long journeys.
- Visibility: Be aware that the smoked tint may affect visibility, especially in low light. Always ensure clear vision, particularly when riding at night or in adverse weather conditions.
6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance will prolong the life and maintain the clarity of your Puig Touring Screen.
- Cleaning: Clean the screen regularly with mild soap and water, using a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or paper towels, as these can scratch the acrylic surface. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
- Inspection: Periodically check the screen for any cracks, chips, or deep scratches that could compromise its structural integrity or visibility. Inspect all mounting hardware for tightness and corrosion.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the motorcycle in a covered area to protect the screen from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh weather, which can cause material degradation.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Excessive wind noise or buffeting | Visor not optimally adjusted; screen not suitable for rider height. | Adjust the multi-adjustable visor to different positions. If the issue persists, the screen height may not be ideal for your specific rider height. |
| Screen vibrates at speed | Loose mounting hardware; improper installation. | Check all mounting screws and ensure they are tightened securely. Re-verify installation steps. |
| Reduced visibility at night | Smoked tint of the screen. | This is an inherent characteristic of smoked screens. Exercise extra caution when riding in low light or at night. Consider a clear screen if night visibility is a primary concern. |
| Scratches or haziness on screen | Improper cleaning methods or abrasive materials used. | Always use mild soap, water, and a soft cloth for cleaning. Avoid dry wiping or using harsh chemicals. Minor scratches may be polished with specialized acrylic polish, but deep scratches may require screen replacement. |
