4.2 Installation Steps

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Position the New Screen: Align the Puig 9770H Touring Screen with the mounting points on the motorcycle.
4. 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.

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.
