steamed up speedo anyone?

mike5100 · Mar 1, 2013

I have searched several forums and can't find anything about this as a problem. If no-one else has got this as an issue, then I think I will get mine replaced under warranty even though there is the chew of having the book record that the mileage was zero'd.
(my speedo steams up in the rain - partcularly once the sun gets on it. I spent some time drying it out with a powerful hair dryer but it came back the next time I wnt out in the damp)

washed my bike, had it rained on, sit in the overhead sun. No issue, there is a sealing problem with your speedo unit. I'd want it fixed under warranty.

Not mine.

Sorry to hear about yours. Get it sorted out before it shorts out.

I think that you should get this checked out by the dealer

Definately a warranty item. You shouldn't have any problem with Honda.

Agreed. I'd get it checked while on warranty. I hose mine and blow/sun dry with no steaming

Mine did it slightly once but never again so I'm not concerned with it.. Gauges are never 100% sealed anyways

Mine has never fogged over. I have ridden in torrential downpours! The only way mine could have been any wetter is to submerge it.

So far I have not hosed down the NCX at the instruments...maybe I should?

hard to say how the water got in, be easy with the hose, it is possible it came in from under neath . but once it steams up it will always do that it must be replaced, should not have any warranty problem getting covered, my moto guzzi 1100 did the same thing but i was able to take the gauge apart and repair it and drill a small drain hole in the bottom, to let the fish out. dale
