Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your Puig Touring Screen, model 9719H, designed specifically for the Suzuki V-Strom 650 (2017-2018 models).

Safety Information
Always wear appropriate safety gear when working on your motorcycle. Ensure the motorcycle is stable and secure before beginning any installation. If you are unsure about any step, consult a qualified motorcycle mechanic.
- Ensure all fasteners are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications.
- Do not overtighten screws, as this may damage the screen or mounting points.

- This product is designed for specific motorcycle models; ensure compatibility before installation.
Setup and Installation
The Puig Touring Screen is designed as a direct replacement for the original windshield on your Suzuki V-Strom 650. While specific tools are not listed, standard motorcycle tools (e.g., Allen wrenches, screwdrivers) will likely be required.

- Preparation: Park the motorcycle on a level surface and ensure it is stable. Turn off the engine and remove the key.
- Remove Original Windshield: Carefully locate and remove the mounting screws or bolts securing the original windshield to the motorcycle. Keep these fasteners in a safe place.
- Transfer Components (if applicable): Some installations may require transferring rubber grommets or spacers from the original windshield to the new Puig screen. Based on user feedback, it is common to reuse the OEM rubber rings for optimal fitment, as the Puig screen may not include them.
- Position New Screen: Align the Puig Touring Screen with the mounting points on the motorcycle. Ensure it sits flush and correctly.
- Secure New Screen: Reinstall the mounting screws or bolts, tightening them gradually and evenly to avoid stress on the screen. Do not overtighten.
- Final Check: Gently test the screen for stability. Ensure there is no wobble and all connections are secure.
Operating Benefits
The Puig Touring Screen is designed to enhance your riding experience by providing improved wind protection compared to the stock windshield. Its larger dimensions and aerodynamic shape help to deflect wind and reduce turbulence, particularly at higher speeds. This can lead to increased comfort for the rider, especially on long journeys.
While it offers significant wind protection, very tall riders might experience some helmet buffeting at extremely high speeds (e.g., 130+ km/h). However, for speeds below this threshold, the screen generally provides excellent performance.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and clarity of your Puig Touring Screen.
- Cleaning: Use only mild soap and water with a soft cloth to clean the screen. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the screen's surface.
- Drying: Dry the screen with a clean, soft microfiber cloth to prevent water spots and streaks.
- Inspection: Periodically check all mounting hardware for tightness. Vibrations from riding can sometimes loosen fasteners. Inspect the screen for any cracks or damage that could compromise its integrity.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Screen feels loose or vibrates | Mounting screws are loose; incorrect installation of rubber grommets/spacers. | Check and tighten all mounting screws. Ensure all original rubber rings or spacers are correctly transferred and seated. |
| Excessive wind noise or buffeting | Screen height adjustment (if applicable); rider height; helmet design. | Adjust the screen to its optimal height setting (if your motorcycle allows). Consider rider posture or helmet type. |
| Scratches or haziness on screen | Improper cleaning methods or abrasive materials used. | Clean only with mild soap, water, and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. Minor scratches may be polished with specialized plastic polish. |
