Product Information

Full details

This WRS Windscreen is designed for BMW S 1000 R ABS models from 2014-2020, offering enhanced rider comfort and a refined aesthetic. Its primary benefit is the significant reduction in wind turbulence around the shoulders and helmet, leading to a more relaxed ride. A potential consideration is that while it improves aerodynamics, its 29 cm height may not suit all rider preferences for wind protection.

FAQs

Will this windscreen fit my 2013 BMW S 1000 R?

No, this specific WRS windscreen is designed for the 2014-2020 model years of the BMW S 1000 R ABS. Please check compatibility for other model years.

Is installation difficult?

Installation is generally straightforward for riders familiar with basic motorcycle maintenance. However, if you are unsure, professional installation is recommended to ensure it's fitted correctly and securely.

What is the height of this windscreen?

The windscreen has a height of 29 cm (approximately 11-1/2 inches).

How do I clean the dark smoke finish without damaging it?

Use a soft, damp microfiber cloth with a mild, non-abrasive plastic cleaner. Rinse with water and dry with another clean microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive materials.

Does the dark smoke tint affect nighttime visibility?

The dark smoke tint can reduce visibility in very low light conditions or at night. Riders should exercise caution and consider removing the windscreen if visibility is compromised.

What material is the windscreen made from?

The windscreen is made from high-quality PMMA plexiglass.

Will this windscreen eliminate all wind noise?

The windscreen is designed to significantly reduce wind turbulence, which in turn reduces noise and fatigue. However, some wind noise is normal when riding a motorcycle, and proper helmet fit also plays a crucial role.

Troubleshooting

Windscreen vibrates at speed.

Check that all mounting bolts are securely tightened. Ensure no foreign debris is trapped between the windscreen and mounting points.

Reduced visibility in low light.

For safety, consider removing the dark smoke windscreen during night riding or in very poor visibility conditions, or if it significantly impairs your vision.

Scratches on the windscreen surface.

Avoid abrasive cleaning materials. If minor scratches occur, specialized plastic polish may help, but prevention is key.

Wind noise is still present.

While the windscreen reduces turbulence, some wind noise is inherent to motorcycle riding. Ensure helmet fit is also optimal and consider earplugs for extended rides.

Pros and Cons

  • Enhances the motorcycle's sporty appearance.
  • Made from durable, high-quality materials.

Cons

  • May require specific tools or knowledge for installation.

  • Requires careful cleaning to maintain clarity and avoid scratches.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

This WRS windscreen is specifically designed for the BMW S 1000 R ABS models manufactured between 2014 and 2020. Ensure your motorcycle model and year match these specifications before installation.

Setup:

Installation typically involves removing the original windscreen and mounting hardware, then attaching the WRS windscreen using the provided or original fittings. It's recommended to consult your motorcycle's service manual or seek professional assistance if you are unfamiliar with motorcycle disassembly and reassembly. Ensure all bolts are tightened securely but do not overtighten to avoid damaging the plexiglass.

Care:

To maintain the clarity and appearance of the dark smoke finish, use a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for plastics or windscreens. Avoid using paper towels, abrasive cloths, or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can cause scratches and cloudiness. Rinse thoroughly with clean water after washing and dry with a clean microfiber cloth.
