What material is the screen made from?

The screen is manufactured from 3 or 4 mm high impact acrylic, ensuring durability and resistance to damage.

Troubleshooting

Screen is blurry or has streaks after cleaning

Ensure you are using a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution. Avoid paper towels or harsh chemicals.

Wind noise or buffeting has not decreased significantly

Verify that the screen is installed correctly and securely. Check that all mounting points are tight. The effectiveness can vary based on rider height and riding position; minor adjustments in posture may help.

Difficulty aligning mounting holes during installation

Loosely install all bolts first, then gradually tighten them. Minor adjustments to the screen's position might be needed before fully tightening.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Before purchasing, it is crucial to check the provided PDF documentation to ensure this screen is compatible with your specific BMW R1200 GS model and year. The model number `6486N` is for a clear screen, while `6486F` is for dark smoke, and compatibility can vary.

Setup: Installation typically involves removing the original screen and mounting the new Puig Touring Screen using the provided hardware and instructions. Ensure all bolts are securely tightened but avoid over-tightening, which could damage the acrylic. Refer to the included assembly instructions for detailed steps.

Care: Clean the screen regularly with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or paper towels, as these can scratch the acrylic surface. For stubborn grime, a dedicated plastic cleaner can be used. Always rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a microfiber cloth.
