The R7M and R7X ship with two films on the display. We recommend you peel off the thin transparent factory film, then apply a tempered glass screen protector if you want lasting protection. Do not apply the tempered glass on top of the factory film.
The two films
Black dust-protection film with the RiderNav logo: this is the clearly visible outer film you see when you receive the product. Remove it before you ride.
Thin transparent plastic film applied at the factory: this helps prevent scratches during transportation and assembly. It can be difficult to notice, even after you have removed the black film. Peel this one off too before you apply tempered glass.
Peeling, bubbles, or scratches: check the film first
If the surface appears to peel, bubble, or develop scratches after some use, the marks may be on the transparent factory film rather than the display glass. Even if you have not fitted a screen protector yourself, this second factory-applied film may still be there.
With the motorcycle safely parked, inspect the corners and edges for a very thin transparent plastic layer.
If you can identify the film, gently lift it from a corner or edge and slowly peel it back a little at a time, as shown below. Do not use sharp objects or force the edge. If you cannot identify a removable film, stop and send us a photo before going further.
After removing the transparent film, check whether the peeling, bubbles, or marks are still present on the actual display surface.
The image shows the transparent plastic film being lifted from the edge. Only remove the identifiable plastic film, not the display glass.
If the marks remain
If the surface looks normal after you remove the film, the marks were on the transport film. If the marks remain, or you are unsure whether the film is still there, tell us and send:
Your order number
The video of the film removal, if you have one
Clear photos or a short video showing the remaining issue
Warranty notice
Important: The pre-applied transport film itself is not covered as a warranty item. Damage, wear, bubbles, or scratches affecting only this removable film are not considered a defect of the RiderNav display.
This means:
If the film is peeled off, lost, or damaged, we cannot replace it.
If the film develops bubbles, scratches, or wear over time, this is normal and not considered a product defect.
The film is provided as a courtesy for transit protection only.
Tempered glass screen protector
For lasting screen protection against road debris, dust, gloves, and accidental impacts, we recommend the tempered glass screen protector made for the R7M and R7X. Peel off the factory transparent film first, then apply the glass.
