Default Speedo Condensation - '14 Slim

Looked at parts microfiche and it's all one unit. Does the lens come off... Easily?

Did you wash it with high pressure?
If everything is working fine, just park it in the sun for a few hrs.
It'll dry right up

Nope, never hit with anything more than a garden hose. But, I also bought it used last year (with only 1400 miles on it, but still it is a 2014).

It's been parked in the sun several times... Of course, I live in Virginia, if the sun would dry it out, then the humidity will fog it up again. We've had several days in the 90% humidity range recently. But, if it's sealed, this shouldn't be a problem either way.

Its not a sealed unit ..there is a tiny hole in the back of your speedo. It will dry up. While my friend and I were riding he was upset at the condensation in his speedo, I looked and my bike had it too, later in the day both were clear.swifty

Default Condensation in Speedo

I have an 07 RK and my Harley speedo has at times collected condensation. It looks as if Harley does not see this as a problem. To me these bikes cost way to much for this kind of problem to happen. Maybe Harley sees a benefit it allowing this to continue. Speedo and tach have neve given me any real problems but it is annoying looking at your through a cloudy speedo.
