Puig 7626N Touring Windscreen Instruction Manual

Product Overview

The Puig 7626N Touring Windscreen is specifically designed for the Honda Crossrunner models from 2015 to 2017. This black touring windscreen is engineered to enhance rider comfort by significantly minimizing windblast, particularly beneficial during long-distance rides.

Constructed from 3mm high-impact acrylic, the windscreen offers robust resistance and durability. Its design complies with German TÜV regulations, ensuring a high standard of quality and safety. The increased height of the screen helps to deflect airflow over the rider, allowing for a more comfortable and stable riding position.

Setup and Installation

Installation of the Puig 7626N Touring Windscreen requires basic mechanical aptitude and common tools. It is recommended to consult a professional if you are unsure about any steps.

Safety Precautions:

• Ensure the motorcycle is stable and on a level surface before beginning installation.
• Turn off the engine and remove the key.
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and eye protection.
• Handle the windscreen carefully to avoid scratches or damage.

General Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Motorcycle: Park the Honda Crossrunner on its center stand or a stable paddock stand.
2. Remove Existing Windscreen (if applicable): Carefully unbolt and remove the original windscreen, if one is present. Keep all original hardware organized.
3. Position the New Windscreen: Align the Puig 7626N Touring Windscreen with the mounting points on the motorcycle's fairing.
4. Secure the Windscreen: Use the provided hardware (or original hardware if instructed by Puig's specific manual, which is not provided here) to securely fasten the new windscreen. Do not overtighten bolts, as this can crack the acrylic. Tighten fasteners evenly.
5. Final Check: Ensure the windscreen is firmly attached and does not wobble. Check all bolts for proper tightness.

Note: For detailed, model-specific installation instructions, please refer to the official Puig installation guide that accompanies the product packaging.

Operating Principles

The Puig 7626N Touring Windscreen functions as a passive aerodynamic component. Once installed, it works by redirecting the airflow over and around the rider, reducing wind pressure on the chest and helmet. This design contributes to a more comfortable riding experience, especially at higher speeds or during extended journeys.

The black tint of this specific model also provides a degree of sun glare reduction, while maintaining clear visibility through the screen for the rider.

Maintenance

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

Cleaning:

• Use only mild soap and water with a soft, non-abrasive cloth or sponge.
• Avoid harsh chemicals, ammonia-based cleaners, or abrasive materials, as these can scratch or damage the acrylic surface.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth to prevent water spots.
• For stubborn dirt or insects, soak the area with a wet cloth for a few minutes before gently wiping clean.

Inspection:

• Regularly inspect the windscreen for any cracks, chips, or deep scratches that could impair visibility or structural integrity.
• Check all mounting bolts periodically to ensure they remain tight. Loose bolts can lead to vibration and potential damage to the windscreen or motorcycle.

Troubleshooting

Here are some common issues and their potential solutions:

• Excessive Vibration:
  • Check all mounting bolts. Ensure they are securely tightened, but not overtightened.
  • Verify that the windscreen is correctly seated in its mounting points.
• Reduced Visibility:
  • Clean the windscreen thoroughly using the recommended cleaning methods.
  • Inspect for deep scratches or hazing that may require replacement.
• Wind Noise/Buffeting Still Present:
  • While the touring screen significantly reduces windblast, some level of wind noise is inherent to motorcycle riding.
  • Ensure your helmet is properly fitted and designed for noise reduction.
  • Consider rider posture adjustments.

If issues persist, contact Puig customer support or a qualified motorcycle mechanic.
