Keeping motorcycle displays new forever – the best tips!
Because many modern motorcycles are equipped with sensitive TFT or LCD displays, it is all the more important to know how to keep them looking like new for a long time. As these are usually exposed to sun, rain, dust and dirt on a daily basis, this can lead to scratches, reflections and poor readability.
Regular cleaning and proper protection are therefore essential to prolong the life of the display.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions about cleaning the display
How often should I clean my motorcycle display?
At least once a week, and a little more thoroughly after riding in the rain or long tours.

No! Because the coating of the display can be damaged by glass cleaner. It is therefore better to use a special display cleaner or a mild soap solution.
How do I remove scratches from the TFT display?
Try using a plastic polishing paste to reduce light scratches. But even better is our recommendation: use a Moto Screenies protective film, because this prevents scratches in advance.
