HOW TO Change the Windscreen (on a Suzuki GSX650F)

[@PCG2022]

Thank you!. Just finished the install of new Puig smoked racing screen. Looks mint! Hardest part was getting the the rubber grommets back in! Took roughly 1 hour for full install. Thanks once again...

[@cronos222]

Like so many here I'd like to thank you for posting these GSX650F vids . Just seeing it done makes it a much less daunting task . Cheers !

Thanks for the video ! I almost managed to remove it without any incidents . Except on the very last step . One of the rubber grommets was stuck to the bottom of the old windshield . So , when I removed it it separated from the chassis , and then fell off down the front when I pulled the windshield out . I managed to touch it with one finger , but there's no way I'm going to be able to recover it without dismantling the whole front section of the bike , which looks like a nightmare . So , I'll just source a couple of new ones and change them both . So , be careful all when doing that last step . Just to add . The part is a WELLNUT 10-S" . They looks quite easy to source . The other ones are WELLNUT Q-1032s on mine , so I might just replace all 4 of them . To be honest they should be replaced anyway I think as they can only really be used once . By the looks of things there's a slight difference in the length between the S and 1032 . One's 14.1mm and the other 16.9mm . I think I can get 10 x M5 14mm ones locally on Ebay for about €5 , so hopefully I can use them in all 4 holes .

Thank you very much for this video! It helped me a lot with installing touring windshield. Keep up the good work 👍

[@DevilzzFA]

You are truly my hero today, thanks for the video. And also congrats on the birth of your baby ;) A lot of joy with him/her

[@CJMPH]

DLzG haha, thanks mate, glad to hear it :)

[@jeremyknight6996]

Thanks so much for doing this video mate - really helped and gave me the confidence to tackle the job. I found it's not really that tricky or difficult - just take your time and make a good note of where all the bolts go (drawing a diagram is helpful). Lovely new MRA Vario touring screen fitted in an hour or so on my GSX1250FA - job's a good un! :)

[@CJMPH]

No problem mate, glad it helped. Yeah this one wasn't too bad in the end. A few awkward bits but nothing major. Diagram is a good idea, I managed to download the full Suzuki maintenance manual which has everything (inc pictures).

[@hexatod3428]

Thanks for the video. I've purchased a Puig Touring Windscreen and will rely on your excellent information to have a smooth replacement.

[@CJMPH]

Very nice, I do like that screen. Hope it all goes to plan. Thanks for commenting 👍

[@Hcu5]

Just bought a 650F and your videos are super helpful! Thanks. Might I recommend a coolant change video :)?

[@CJMPH]

Hcu5 Nice one! Thanks for the comment. I'll add the coolant video to the list. May be a while but it will get done :)

[@jordizee]

this video helped me so much..keep up the great work and thanks for your help.

[@CJMPH]

+jordizee Thanks mate, I appreciate that :) glad it helped

[@swampfeet5660]

This vid helped me to get the dash out, there was a buzzing noise coming from there. thanks mate

[@waterpolovin]

cj could you please do a video on how to replace the bulbs in the headlight? btw congratulations with your baby 😊

[@CJMPH]

Thanks mate. Yeah, I'll add it to the list :) May be a while but I'll definitely get to it

[@raspacejo]

Thanks for sharing.

[@strudelNL]

Probably the same procedure on a suzuki bandit gsf650sa ? Will try it Soon! Thanks for the vid

[@CJMPH]

Yeah I would have thought so, loads of general maintenance seems to be the same :) Thanks for commenting

[@ThetrueNickabilly]

Hi, did you do your GSF 650 SA? Was it similar process for the one in this vid - and any problems? Got mine to do after a mishap in the garage, doh! Thanks.

[@strudelNL]

@@ThetrueNickabilly still think it'll be (almost) the same... But i don't have the bike anymore now 😔

[@markfox8526]

Thanks so much for posting. Excellent video.

[@CJMPH]

No worries and thank you 🙏 glad you found it useful

[@DonPedro6901]

What a pity that I didn't see this video 3yrs ago, but ok, I have again the same bike and now have more power to change the screen for touring

[@truckingbiker7354]

Thanks for sharing this video with us it's really helpful all the best Trucking Biker

[@CJMPH]

No problem, thanks for commenting. Just checked out your channel and the recent update video, I'm trying to do the same and go for quality videos and mix things up a bit. Hope it works out for you

[@truckingbiker7354]

great channel just subbed ya mate.

[@CJMPH]

You the man :)

[@iphil91]

Hey CJ :) would you like to show us how to change the brake-hoses ?? (i don't remember if i already asked :D)

[@CJMPH]

iPhil yeah sure, I'll take a look into that one. May be a while but I'm building a list of videos still to make, thanks for the suggestion

[@RacexEV]

Nice one thank you’

[@Josh-ch4df]

Absolute pain in the ass to do! When I removed my stock screen and put on a tinted touring screen, I didn't put many of the rubber grommets back in. My bike has done 60k and I'll likely be the final owner so I really couldn't be bothered :P

[@CJMPH]

Yeah I know what you mean :) I had 2 screw nuts that were a pain to get back in place behind the plastic as well

[@xgamesmcx]

Juba Josh i cannot skip them that how it holds the screws

[@stoissdk]

Nice guide. Still a pain in the *** to do though. The rubber grommets with a threaded metal sleeve inside for the bolts that hold the screen and other plastic sections together, are an absolute pain to get positioned correctly. I am seriously considering using plastic plugs like those found in other places on the bike, instead of these grommets. Still, thank you for the guide :-)

[@TysonTheRand]

thanks!

[@femalefishingadventures]

Now i know why people just use the clamp on deflectors at the top of the original screen , what a pain in the arse , fantastic vid , but the aftermarket screen makers wont like it as its just convinced me, and probably lots of others not to bother and just get an add on :)
