General Information
To Install the Windshield
To install the windshield, stand astride the
front wheel and align the windshield lower
mounting slots to the lower mountings on
the front forks.
Note:
• An audible click can be heard
when the windshield upper
mountings are fully engaged.
Align the windshield upper mounting slots
with their upper mountings on the front
forks. With a firm push, fully engage the
upper mountings.
Ensure both of the upper mounting latches
are fully engaged round the mountings.
Warning
To prevent detachment of the windshield
during riding, after fitting always grasp the
windshield and pull firmly upwards. If the
windshield is not correctly secured it may
detach from the motorcycle. A loose or
detached windshield could cause loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
After fitting or removing the windshield,
operate the motorcycle in a safe area free
from traffic to gain familiarity with any new
characteristics. Operation of the motorcycle
when not familiar with any new handling
characteristics may result in loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
Never attempt to clean or adjust the
windshield while riding the motorcycle.
Removal of the rider's hands from the
handlebars while riding the motorcycle will
diminish the ability of the rider to maintain
the control of the motorcycle. Attempting
to clean or adjust the windshield while
riding the motorcycle may result in loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
