FAQs

What material is the WRS windscreen made from?

The WRS windscreen is made from high-quality PMMA plexiglass, known for its durability and clarity.

Will this windscreen fit my 2013 BMW R 1200 GS?

No, this specific model is designed for BMW R 1200 GS models from 2004 to 2012. Please check for other WRS models compatible with your year.

How does this windscreen reduce turbulence?

The screen is shaped to redirect airflow around the rider's helmet and shoulders, minimizing uncomfortable buffeting and noise.

Is installation difficult?

Installation typically uses existing mounting points and requires basic mechanical ability. It's recommended to consult your motorcycle's service manual for specific instructions.

Can I use regular cleaners on the windscreen?

It is recommended to use only soft cloths and mild soap solutions or specific plastic cleaners. Avoid abrasive materials and harsh chemicals that can scratch the surface.

What is the height of this windscreen?

The windscreen measures 46 cm (approximately 18-1/8 inches) in height.

Troubleshooting

Windscreen vibrates excessively at speed.

Check that all mounting bolts are securely tightened. Ensure no parts of the original mounting hardware are missing or damaged. Verify the windscreen is properly seated in its mounting brackets.

Reduced visibility through the windscreen.

Clean the windscreen thoroughly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Ensure no protective film was left on during installation. Check for scratches or damage that may impair visibility.

Difficulty aligning mounting holes during installation.

Loosen all mounting hardware slightly to allow for adjustment. Align the holes, then gradually tighten bolts evenly. Do not force bolts; ensure alignment before tightening.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This windscreen is specifically designed for the BMW R 1200 GS models manufactured between 2004 and 2012. Ensure your motorcycle's model year falls within this range before purchase.

Setup: Installation typically involves removing the original windscreen and mounting the WRS windscreen using the existing mounting points and hardware (ensure all original hardware is present and in good condition). Refer to your motorcycle's service manual for detailed removal and installation procedures for the original screen. Ensure all bolts are tightened securely but avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to the plexiglass or mounting brackets.

Care: Clean the windscreen regularly using a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners, paper towels, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the PMMA plexiglass. For stubborn grime, a dedicated motorcycle plastic cleaner can be used. Always dry with a clean, soft microfiber cloth.
