5. Provozní aspekty
The Puig 9462W windshield is designed to provide improved aerodynamics and wind protection. While riding, be aware of the following:
- Viditelnost: Ensure your line of sight is clear through or over the windshield.
- Wind Buffeting: Depending on rider height and helmet type, some wind buffeting may occur. This is a common characteristic of windshields and can sometimes be mitigated by minor adjustments to riding posture.
- Čištění: Keep the windshield clean for optimal visibility (refer to Section 6).
6. Údržba
Správná péče prodlouží životnost a zachová průhlednost čelního skla vašeho Puig.

- Poor Wind Protection: Verify the windshield is installed at the correct angle and height. While the Puig 9462W is designed for optimal protection, individual rider height and motorcycle setup can influence effectiveness.
- Volná montáž: Re-tighten all bolts. If the issue persists, inspect the mounting clamps for proper fit on the handlebars and ensure no components are stripped or damaged.
