Changing windscreen on a 2008 YZF-R1
1) Remove the mirrors:
Two sets of bolts under the windscreen, above the speedo console.
Leave the metal round spacers in the sockets! Don't remove!
2) Remove the windscreen:
Gently remove the windscreen. Tap it once on the front to remove it from its slots and slide it outwards.
3) Put in the new windscreen.
In my case, I chose a dark Puig racing screen.
Slide the screen in, and fit it into the slots.
4) Fix the mirrors back:
Make sure the spacers stay in position.
PS: Puig supplied a plastic beading to be fixed around the outer edge of the windscreen. Helps a bit more in reducing wind blast.
Some interesting things:
1) Difference between stock and Puig Racing Screen:
2) Interesting sticker
That's it!
