The fairing has a vent in the upper dash and two air ducts along the inner sides of the fairing. These vents can be closed or opened to provide a comfortable flow of air to the rider and to reduce wind buffeting. The preferred position is to keep the vents open for improved turbulence. Each vent is independently opened with its own button.

Open: See Figure 1 (upper vent) and Figure 2 (side vents). Press down the vent button until it clicks. The vent door remains in the open position.

Close: Press down the vent button and release. The button pops up and the vent door closes.

Reset: If the latch does not catch, firmly press the button to open, close and reopen the vent until the mechanism engages.

Keep the vent free of foreign objects. Periodically clean the vent mechanism to remove dirt, bugs and leaves, and to keep all parts from sticking. Clean the button and vent door if they become difficult to open or close. See Care and Cleaning → Fairing Splitstream Vent Care.
