FAQs

What is a 'double bubble' screen?

A double bubble screen has a raised section in the middle, creating a second peak. This design is intended to channel airflow higher over the rider's helmet, reducing wind resistance and improving comfort.

Will this screen fit my 2008 Kawasaki ZX6R?

No, this specific Airblade Iridium Double Bubble Screen is designed for the 2009-2016 Kawasaki ZX6R Ninja models only.

How do I clean the iridium coating without damaging it?

Use a soft, damp microfiber cloth and mild soap solution if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, and paper towels.

Does the iridium finish affect visibility?

The iridium finish provides excellent clarity but can alter the perceived color of light. While designed for performance and style, check local regulations regarding tinted windscreens if you have concerns.

Is installation difficult?

Installation is generally straightforward for riders with basic mechanical skills. It involves unbolting the old screen and bolting on the new one. However, precise alignment is key.

What is the primary benefit of this screen over a standard one?

The primary benefit is improved aerodynamics, leading to reduced wind buffeting, less rider fatigue, and potentially better performance, especially at higher speeds.

Is this screen legal for road use?

Generally, yes. Airblade screens are designed for road use, but it is always recommended to check your local regulations regarding aftermarket windscreens and their tint levels.

Troubleshooting

Screen does not align properly.

Loosen all mounting screws slightly and re-align the screen. Tighten screws gradually in a star pattern. Ensure no aftermarket fairing modifications are interfering.

Excessive vibration at speed.

Verify all mounting hardware is securely tightened. Check for any loose fairing panels or mounting brackets on the motorcycle itself.

Poor visibility through the iridium finish.

Ensure the screen is clean. If visibility is an issue in specific lighting conditions, consider if a clear or lighter tint screen would be more suitable for your riding environment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This screen is specifically designed for the Kawasaki ZX6R Ninja models from 2009 to 2016 (MPN: SCRK078).

Setup:

  1. Ensure your motorcycle is on a stable, level surface.
  2. Carefully remove the original windscreen and any associated hardware.
  3. Align the new Airblade screen with the mounting points on the fairing.
  4. Insert and loosely tighten the mounting screws or bolts.
  5. Gradually tighten all screws in a star pattern to ensure even pressure and prevent stress fractures.
  6. Double-check that the screen is securely fitted and does not interfere with other components.

Care:

  • Clean the screen regularly with a soft, damp microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or paper towels, which can cause scratches.
  • For stubborn dirt or insects, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly.
  • Do not use harsh chemicals, solvents, or Windex, as these can damage the iridium coating.
  • Store the motorcycle in a shaded area to prevent excessive heat buildup behind the screen, which can degrade materials over time.
