Required Tools (Not Included):

• Metric Hex Key Set
• Wrench Set
• Torque Wrench (recommended for precise tightening)

Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Motorcycle: Park the motorcycle on a level surface and ensure it is stable. Turn off the engine and remove the key.
2. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all components from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches.
3. Attach Mounting Brackets: Identify the specific mounting points on your motorcycle's front forks or headlight assembly as indicated in the included diagram. Securely attach the provided mounting brackets using the appropriate hardware. Do not fully tighten bolts at this stage.
4. Position the Windshield: Carefully align the Puig Batwing SML Windshield with the attached mounting brackets. The windshield should fit snugly onto the brackets.
5. Secure the Windshield: Use the remaining hardware to secure the windshield to the mounting brackets. Ensure all connections are firm but do not overtighten.
6. Adjust and Tighten: Once the windshield is in place, adjust its position for optimal alignment and rider comfort. Once satisfied with the position, progressively tighten all bolts, ensuring even pressure. Refer to the specific torque specifications if provided in the detailed diagram.
7. Final Check: Double-check all bolts and connections to ensure they are securely fastened. Gently shake the windshield to confirm stability.

6. Operating Considerations

Once installed, the Puig Batwing SML Windshield requires no specific "operation" beyond its passive function of deflecting wind and debris. However, consider the following:

• Visibility: Ensure the smoked tint does not impair your visibility, especially in low-light conditions.
• Aerodynamics: The windshield is designed to improve aerodynamics and reduce wind buffeting. Be aware of changes in wind resistance and handling, especially at higher speeds or in crosswinds.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the windshield and its mounting hardware for any signs of loosening, cracks, or damage.

7. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life and maintain the clarity of your Puig Batwing SML Windshield.

Cleaning:

• Use only mild soap and water with a soft, non-abrasive cloth or sponge.
• Avoid harsh chemicals, ammonia-based cleaners, or abrasive materials, as these can scratch or damage the acrylic surface.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth to prevent water spots.

General Care:

• Regularly check all mounting bolts and hardware for tightness. Vibrations from riding can cause bolts to loosen over time.
• Inspect the windshield for any cracks or deep scratches. Minor scratches may be polished out with specialized acrylic polish, but severe damage may require replacement.
• Store the motorcycle in a shaded area or use a cover to protect the windshield from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause material degradation over time.

8. Troubleshooting

Most issues related to the windshield are minor and can be resolved with simple checks.

If problems persist after attempting these solutions, please contact Puig customer support.
