Setup and Installation
Installation of the Puig NG Touring Windshield requires basic mechanical skills and tools. It is recommended to have a clean, well-lit workspace. Refer to your motorcycle's service manual for specific details on removing existing components if necessary.
- Preparation: Ensure the motorcycle is stable on a stand. Gather all components from the box and the necessary tools (e.g., Allen wrenches, screwdrivers).
- Initial Fitment: Carefully position the windshield and mounting brackets to understand their orientation and attachment points on the motorcycle's front end.
- Attach Brackets: Secure the mounting brackets to the designated points on the motorcycle, typically near the headlight or handlebars. Do not fully tighten bolts at this stage.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life and clarity of your Puig windshield.
- Cleaning: Clean the windshield regularly with mild soap and water using a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals as they can damage the PMMA material.
- Drying: Dry 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 bolts.
- Scratch Prevention: Avoid wiping the windshield when dry or dusty, as this can cause scratches. Rinse off loose dirt first.
