I have an SE and yesterday purchased a DX windshield. Just four bolts, then how do you release tabs. Or do they just pop out?

I wondered the same and I just popped them out when I installed my viper shield. There are holes in the tabs so hopefully I didn't break something on the inside lol.

Under neath the if you want to call it your hood section you have to loosen the screws that hold the air intake assembly on, when tightened down this assembly holds the windshield tabs in place, just loose those screws from underneath and then you can push the windshield tabs down and off the little pegs that hold them in place, hope this helps guys

It's helps. But it doesn't help that I put my trail pass and registration on the old windshield. Lol!
Always something......Guess I'll have to strap my old windshield to the back, and do some explaining to the DNR.
They like stories.....I'll have to explain the horrible accident I had in the shed. I'll bring pics on my phone. That should keep them busy.

Hopefully DNR officer is of the understanding type, I put on the accessory medium windshield and it looks identical to the Dx model, big improvement but after riding in minus 22 Celsius I think it could have been about a inch bigger all the way around other wise pretty happy with the windshield and lots of room for hand guards when turning

That's
why I don't put stickers on my shield cause than you have the hassle after you break your shield. I will use that excuse and see what happensIt's helps. But it doesn't help that I put my trail pass and registration on the old windshield. Lol!

Available in smoke & clear. I opted for clear.
TIP: take a piece of clear packing tape and apply it to your windshield...apply trail permit on that....if you have an issue...clear tape easily removes and reapplies to new sled or windshield

Stupid stupid stupid, me. I will never learn. I just wanted the extra protection on the coldest days. Oh well......DNR has threatened me ever yr. Two yrs ago they boxed me in. I'm always in the wrong. But they always let me go.
Something simple like; leaving all my papers in the room. Where they don't belong. I hate myself sometimes. And tomorrow is no different. Lol!

Yeah I hear you and agree, but that is what I also had to do. Now I have one for spring riding, and one for colddd winter riding. They do interchange quickly once the learning curve time is over, and it does mount perfectly unlike some aftermarket windshields.
That is all Yamaha offers right now and they call it a mid. I do not agree and let them know but all is all.. Considering giving it a trim but it sure worked nice during my last ride.
