Sunlight, Heat and the LCD display

[CaptDL]

Sooo, The bikes been sitting in the sun all day, its HOT, BRIGHT and the LCD is showing EVERY possible combo of lines/numbers/shapes it has. The key isn't even in it and the tach is maxed, the speedo reads 188, and there's stuff between the speedo and fuel gauge I've never seen before. A few minutes of riding settles everything to normal. Has anyone had thoughts on a flip down shade for the display?

I use a cover at work, keeps the bird droppings off too.

I park in the shade- so I haven't seen this. If I didn't have shade, I would already have a Kwickover (sp?)

I use a small thick towel,and put over the display.tuck it in or I have a long hair band from wife.just wrap it around.anything to cover it will work.if out all day at home I put a cover over it.

That is pretty normal for LCD displays that are left in the hot sun. I second the recommendation for a cover. O have a cheap Walmart cover that I use. They seem to last about a season of parking in the sun.
