Yeah - I am waiting for that on my head gasket oil leak: "It's a Harley - it's normal to leak"!

 

When I wash mine I cover the exhaust ends, grips & switches, speedo and fuel gauge cap with plastic bags. Last time I washed it I forgot to cover the fuel gauge cap with a plastic bag and when I went to ride it a day or so later I noticed condensationin the fuelsight glass. After a while it cleared up but I'll remember the next time to cover it also. Could be what caused the condensation on yours?

Bought speed-o and tach combo.for 07 RKC. Yes it doe's thesame thing. When it dries you get a haze inside the glass.

Been living with the problem. If you say anything on this forum your bitching about the perfect motorcycle.
Yea! Right.

 

? Do you ride in the rain? ever?
Do you cover everthing in plastic when you do?

 

Nope, never ride in the rain ever. Just cover the aforementioned items with plastic bags when it gets washed. '****', maybe...but that's just me. Do I need problems...no.

Oh, I forgot, I also cover the air filter and football cover with a plastic bag also.

 

Geez, I could never avoid the rain here! I rode in the rain from VT to Niagara Falls, ON. Talk about a soaker!

 

the condensation is from the normal hot/ cold environment we all live in.
It is normal and HD claims they do not cover condensation because of the environment the bike operates in.
But the heat generated by the gauge illumination light will evebtually dissipate the condensation.
My fuel gauge does it on a regular basis.

 

why a big motorcycle industry in the world cant make a fog free gauges/instrument..?? it is a simple problem right..?? and the problem occur/repeat in every year....
my SG did that too....

 

Oil, temp, and fuel gauges all have it on my Ultra to some extent. Amount and which gauges changes on each ride.

 

I had an 85 BMW that would get condensation in the gauges also.
