    There are 4 screws that hold the screen in place. Take those out and the screen will come out easily. Take the whole thing and put it in the kitchen sink and soak in hot water and some mild detergent. Scub, dry, and reunite the screen with the Spyder. All clean!

    While you have the grille out, place window screen on the back side. I did that and not one bug got to the radiators. Easily cleaned by back flushing with a garden hose. If the bugs resist, spray with hydrogen peroxide - that'll soften them without hurting any part of the bike.
    To soften the bugs on the windshield, I spray hydrogen peroxide on a paper towel and lay it on the windshield's surface for a couple minutes. Then GENTLY wide 'em off with the wet paper towel.
