A double bubble screen is designed to create a higher 'bubble' of air over the top, which helps to reduce wind buffeting and drag for the rider, especially at higher speeds, leading to improved comfort and potentially better aerodynamics.
No, this specific Airblade screen is designed only for the Yamaha YZF1000 Thunderace models from 1996-2003. It is not compatible with other Yamaha models like the R1.
The light smoked finish is integrated into the material and is generally durable. However, like any finish, it can be scratched or damaged by abrasive cleaners or harsh impacts. Follow the care instructions for best results.
Yes, this screen is part of Airblade's performance range, developed with BSB teams, and is suitable for track day use due to its aerodynamic properties and durable construction.
The screen is made from high-quality, shatterproof, and shock-resistant materials, designed to withstand impacts and extreme conditions.
Typically, these screens are designed to utilize the original mounting hardware from your motorcycle. Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's instructions for specific details on included hardware.
Compared to a standard windscreen, the double bubble design offers improved aerodynamic efficiency by creating a higher pocket of air, reducing buffeting and fatigue. It also often provides a more aggressive, sporty aesthetic.
Check that all mounting bolts are securely tightened. Ensure no debris is trapped between the screen and the fairing. If vibration persists, consider reinforcing mounting points if possible or consulting a professional.
Ensure the screen is clean and free from residues. A dedicated anti-fog treatment for windscreens can be applied. If the issue is with the light smoke tint, this is a characteristic of the finish and may not be suitable for all riders or conditions.
Loosen all mounting bolts slightly, align the screen, and then gradually tighten bolts in an alternating pattern. Ensure the correct model year compatibility; slight variations can occur between model years.
Compatibility:
This Airblade screen is specifically designed for the Yamaha YZF1000 Thunderace models manufactured between 1996 and 2003. Ensure your motorcycle's model and year match this specification before installation.
Setup:
Installation typically involves removing the original windscreen and replacing it with the Airblade Double Bubble Screen. It's recommended to use existing mounting points and hardware where possible. Ensure all bolts and fasteners are tightened securely but avoid overtightening, which could damage the screen or mounting brackets. Professional installation is advised if you are not comfortable with motorcycle disassembly and reassembly.
Care:
Clean the screen regularly using a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for motorcycle windscreens or acrylics. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive pads, as these can scratch or damage the light smoked finish and the material. After washing, dry with a clean, soft microfiber cloth to prevent water spots.
