Vent Maintenance

Vent-1-1
  1. Mid summer sometimes requires some deep cleaning of Bugs Dirt and Debris off your bike and windscreen.

If you have our 5 position Motorcycle Windshield Vent installed on your screen, then that may add an extra layer of difficulty in getting into those crevasses a vent will provide, clean.  We can help you with that using products found around your house.  Here are a few things to get ready before.

  1. Find a flat work surface that you can lay a towel across. Kitchen table or Garage work bench will work great for this.
  2. Grab some White Vinegar or hydrogen peroxide and a container large enough to completely submerge the vent into.
  3. Tools: # 3 Allen Wrench and an 8mm driver or socket.

The first thing you will need to do is remove your Motorcycle Windshield from your bike.  Removal of your vent may seem simple and easy while the screen is installed but it is the re-installation of the Vent that requires the Windshield to removed.
