Setup and Installation

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician if you are unfamiliar with motorcycle accessory installation. Ensure the scooter is stable and turned off before starting.

1. Prepare the Scooter: Park the scooter on a level surface using its center stand. Ensure the engine is off and cool.
2. Identify Mounting Points: Locate the designated mounting points on your Vespa GTS 125 or GTS 300. These are typically near the handlebar or headlight assembly. Refer to your scooter's service manual for exact locations if needed.
3. Attach Brackets: Secure the provided mounting brackets to the scooter's frame using the appropriate screws and washers from the hardware kit. Do not fully tighten at this stage.
4. Position Windshield: Carefully align the Puig GTS Sport Windshield with the attached mounting brackets.
5. Secure Windshield: Attach the windshield to the brackets using the remaining hardware. Ensure the windshield is centered and level.
6. Final Tightening: Once the windshield is correctly positioned, progressively tighten all screws and bolts. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the components.
7. Inspect: After installation, gently shake the windshield to ensure it is securely mounted and does not have excessive play.

Usage Considerations

The Puig GTS Sport Windshield is designed for improved aerodynamics and wind protection. Consider the following for optimal use:

• Visibility: Ensure the windshield does not obstruct your line of sight. Always maintain clear visibility, especially in varying weather conditions.
• Weather Conditions: While providing protection, extreme weather conditions (heavy rain, strong winds) may still affect riding stability and visibility. Exercise caution.
• Speed: The windshield is designed for typical scooter speeds. Always adhere to local speed limits and ride responsibly.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life and clarity of your windshield.

• Cleaning: Clean the windshield regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the acrylic material.
• Inspection: Periodically check all mounting hardware for tightness. Vibrations during riding can cause fasteners to loosen over time.
• Damage: Inspect the windshield for cracks or deep scratches. Significant damage may compromise its structural integrity and should be addressed.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your windshield, consider the following:

• Vibration: If the windshield vibrates excessively, check all mounting bolts and screws for proper tightness. Ensure no components are loose.
• Reduced Visibility: Ensure the windshield is clean. If scratches or hazing are present, consider professional polishing or replacement if visibility is significantly impaired.
• Loose Fit: Re-tighten all mounting hardware. If the issue persists, inspect brackets for damage or deformation.
