5. Usage and Aerodynamic Benefits
The Puig 20645H Windshield is designed to significantly improve rider comfort and safety. Its touring design provides substantial protection against wind blast, reducing fatigue on long rides and at higher speeds. Riders can expect a notable reduction in wind pressure on the body and chest, and with a slight tuck, even helmet buffeting can be minimized.
The aerodynamic study conducted during the windshield's creation ensures optimal airflow management, contributing to a more stable and comfortable riding experience, even at speeds up to 140 km/h (approximately 87 mph) without excessive turbulence around the shoulders and helmet.
6. Care and Maintenance
To maintain the clarity and longevity of your Puig PMMA windshield, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Use only mild soap and water with a soft, non-abrasive cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals, ammonia-based cleaners (like window cleaner), or abrasive materials, as these can scratch or damage the PMMA surface.
- Drying: Gently dry the windshield with a clean, soft microfiber cloth to prevent water spots.
- Scratch Prevention: Avoid wiping the windshield when it is dry or dusty, as this can cause scratches. Always rinse off loose dirt and dust before cleaning.
- Storage: When not in use, store the motorcycle in a way that protects the windshield from prolonged direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, which can affect the material over time.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Puig windshield, consider the following common solutions:
- Missing Parts/Instructions: If your package arrived without the complete fittings kit or mounting instructions, please contact your retailer or Puig customer support immediately for assistance.
- Windshield Wobbling/Vibration: If the windshield exhibits excessive wobbling or vibration, especially at higher speeds, re-check all mounting bolts. Ensure they are securely tightened according to the installation instructions. Loose bolts are a common cause of instability.
- Reduced Aerodynamic Performance: Verify that the windshield is correctly installed and aligned. Improper installation can affect its intended aerodynamic benefits.
