Welcome Biffo!

If you don`t hear the relay inside the fairing clicks when you push the button for up or down movement, the most common problem is the switch (also check the fuses).

It also being quite common that the mechanism is seized due to corrosion and/or lack of lubrication.

Here do you find a lot of info.

Here is some quite importent info about aligning before dismantling.

BTW. You find a lot more info about the screen in that forum in the links, if you search around.

....put your questions in the technical section, where other later on would search.....

Welcome Biffo. Interesting name - people form County Offaly where I was reared are referred to as "Biffo"s over here..."Big Ignorant F@%£ers From Offaly" !! Wink

Skip over to the members intro section and put up an intro there and you'll get access to the downloads section.

Crazy Frog, Robmack and Inge K are your men on electric screens.

Hi 88ke i,

I am 6'4" and 20 stone and according to my wife wife you summed me up -she gave me the nickname Biffo she must have done her research.

Great site thanks everyone for warm welcome

Hi Biffo,
Good to have you with us. Put a post over in the Frame Fairing an dwheels so people see it not everyone reads this section and your best chance of a good answer comes in the spot people read.
Regards,
K-BIKE

It would be useful to understand the symptoms you are experiencing as it would help with the debugging. For example, is the windshield completely non-functional? Is there power to the control relays?

I wrote a great deal of information in the Windshield Installation thread. This information has some rudimentary debugging information in it as well which might get you started in the right direction. Bench testing the windshield will yield faster results because the components get exposed, allowing you access to test.

Hi Biffo
you could be just like me, I have 3 screens, an original LT, a higher new one and a shorter so called comfort screen. I have to check out the weather forecast to see which one to put on, but they don't break down.

I was wondering when I would get a comment.
Our winters here are glorious we usually get frosty mornings followed by sunny days and probably only 8 - 10 really cold and wet days each winter. That's sunny Queensland.
