FAQs

What material is the screen made from?

The screen is crafted from high-quality, shatterproof, and shock-resistant materials designed to minimize breakage from impacts.

Will this screen fit my Yamaha R1 2008 model?

No, this specific screen is designed for the Yamaha YZF-R1 models from 2009 to 2014. Please check other Airblade listings for different model years.

Does the screen come with mounting hardware?

The screen is designed to use the original mounting hardware from your Yamaha YZF-R1. It does not typically include new hardware unless specified.

How does the double bubble design improve performance?

The double bubble design creates a more aerodynamic profile that helps reduce wind resistance and turbulence, deflecting wind higher over the rider's helmet for improved comfort and stability, especially at speed.

Is the clear finish prone to yellowing over time?

While made from durable materials, prolonged exposure to UV rays can affect plastics over extended periods. Proper care and cleaning can help maintain clarity.

Can I use this screen for street riding as well as track days?

Yes, the screen enhances aerodynamics and protection for both street and track use. However, its performance benefits are most pronounced at higher speeds.

Troubleshooting

Screen vibrates at speed

Ensure all mounting screws are tightened securely but do not overtighten, which could crack the plastic. Check for any loose clips or fasteners.

Reduced visibility due to smudges/scratches

Clean the screen using a soft microfiber cloth and a mild, plastic-safe cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials. Minor scratches may be inherent to the material over time.

Difficulty aligning mounting holes

Loosen existing fasteners slightly on the fairing or mounting bracket to allow for adjustment, then align the screen and tighten all screws. Do not force the screen into place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

This screen is specifically designed for the Yamaha YZF-R1 models manufactured between 2009 and 2014. Ensure your motorcycle model and year match these specifications before purchase.

Installation:

Installation typically involves removing the original windscreen and mounting the new Airblade screen using the existing mounting points. While designed for a direct fit, it is recommended to have basic mechanical knowledge or seek professional assistance if you are unsure. You may need a set of screwdrivers, hex keys, and possibly a plastic trim tool.

  1. Carefully remove the original windscreen fasteners.
  2. Remove the old windscreen.
  3. Position the Airblade Clear Double Bubble Screen.
  4. Reinstall fasteners securely, ensuring a snug fit.

Care:

To maintain clarity and longevity:

  • Clean the screen regularly with a soft, damp microfiber cloth.
  • Use a mild soap solution or a dedicated plastic cleaner if necessary.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners, paper towels, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the material.
  • Dry with a clean, soft cloth.
