Wind shield

[SuzukiJoeDirt]

Alright so some where in the near 20 years of my bikes life something got screwed up with the windshield and it can no longer go up and down. I have been kind of planning on tearing out the electric motor for the windshield and using it for something else and wanted to know if anybody has a way to just put a stationary windshield on it that simply bolts on and is affordable. Anybody got an idea?

Take the front/top fairing off and try running it without that on there. That'll help you to see/feel whether the motor is even trying to move it. Your problem could be that the motor is dead or the wiring is lousy.

If you can see the motor output shaft spin, or you can feel the motor try to spin when to try to move the windshield by putting your hand on the motor, then remove 7 screws holding the windshield on and try running it without the windshield on it and see if the bracket even moves.

If it doesn't move and you want to get the windshield moving again, you can try lubing the tracks with some WD-40 or some other lubricating agent. If you don't want it to move anymore, you should be able to just simply move it to where you want it and then put screws/rivets/bolts/nails through the rails to stop it from moving.

Won't cost much, shouldn't take much of your time, and will let you put the windshield right where you want it to be if you do want to permanently fix it.

Awesome Thank you

It might not be the tracks and when you have everything apart you should be able to tell. There is a roller on each side and they are probably siezed up ( mine were ) get them working ( WD-40 ) and you should be in the wind.

Kool beans. When ever I hit the switch I can hear the motor work for a second and you can the the windshield move slightly but it moves crooked and not far at all. I think that the windshield may just be off track.

I have a similar problem. But i am not hearing the motor at all or even the click of the relay which is making me thing that the relay is possibly bad.

I have an assy I'd be interested in selling.

I had to WD-40 mine to get it to work. The rain here seems to ruin it..
