4. Setup and Installation
Installation of the Puig 9770H Touring Screen is designed to be straightforward. It is recommended to have basic mechanical skills and tools for this procedure.
4.1 Tools Required (Not Included)
- Hex key set (Allen wrenches)

- Soft cloth
4.2 Installation Steps
- Prepare the Motorcycle: Park the motorcycle on its center stand or a paddock stand on a firm, level surface. Ensure the engine is off and cool.
- Remove Existing Windscreen: Carefully locate and remove the bolts securing the original windscreen. Keep the original rubber washers, as they may be required for the new installation.
- Position the New Screen: Align the Puig 9770H Touring Screen with the mounting points on the motorcycle.
- Install Mounting Hardware: Use the provided mounting hardware to secure the new screen. It is crucial to use the original rubber washers from the stock windscreen if they provide a better fit and prevent vibration.
- Tighten Fasteners: Hand-tighten all bolts initially to ensure proper alignment. Once aligned, progressively tighten all fasteners evenly. Avoid overtightening.
- Final Check: Gently push and pull on the installed screen to ensure it is securely mounted and does not wobble. Verify that all fasteners are tight.

5. Operating Considerations
The Puig 9770H Touring Screen is designed to improve aerodynamic protection and rider comfort. While it does not have adjustable features, its design provides a significant upgrade over standard screens.
- Wind Protection: The increased height and curvature of the touring screen are intended to deflect wind and debris away from the rider's torso and helmet, reducing fatigue on long rides.
- Visibility: The smoke tint provides glare reduction while maintaining clear visibility through the screen. Ensure your riding position allows for clear vision over or through the screen.
- Vibration: Some minor vibration at higher speeds may occur, which is typical for aftermarket screens. Ensure all mounting points are secure to minimize this.
6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life and maintain the clarity of your Puig Touring Screen.
- Cleaning: Clean the screen regularly with mild soap and water using a soft, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, ammonia-based cleaners, or abrasive materials, as these can scratch or damage the screen's surface.
- Inspection: Periodically check all mounting bolts for tightness. Vibrations from riding can cause fasteners to loosen over time. Inspect the screen for cracks or deep scratches that could impair visibility or structural integrity.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the motorcycle in a shaded area or cover the screen to protect it from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause material degradation.
7. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your touring screen.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Excessive Vibration | Loose mounting bolts; missing rubber washers. | Check and tighten all mounting bolts. Ensure all rubber washers are in place and properly seated. |
| Reduced Wind Protection | Incorrect installation angle (unlikely for fixed screen); rider height. | Verify correct installation as per Section 4. Consider an additional deflector if buffeting persists (not included). |
| Scratches/Cloudiness | Improper cleaning methods; 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 (use with caution). |
