Speedo just started fogging up, bike is dry, not riding in rain or washing in a month, garaged.  Anyone else having this problem?

Try this, it worked for me.
Take the instrument binnacle off and tape onto the inside a couple of those little moisture absorbing gel packets.
I am in a very humid area and I just put new ones in each month and it has stopped the speedo fogging up

Cheers,
Max

I'll have to try that, I only wish I knew how/where the moisture was getting in so I could seal it..

The main problem is you cannot seal it! The guages are supposed to be 'Hermedically Sealed". The moisture causing the problem is already inside and sealing does nothing. I have placed aircraft guages in a low heat oven (125 or less) for and hour or so and THEN seal the unit around any place where a wire or screw penetrates. If you have already applied silicone, remove it first. A heat lamp will also work, but do not allow speedo to get hot.

It only fogs on days (mostly mornings) of high humidity  :nixweiss:
