    Hi everyone
    Has anyone had experience of clocks misting up? My 2013 thruxton has started to show signs of condensation in both clocks, the bike is garaged, but does go out in all weathers. The headlamp had the same problem but this cleared after the light was on a while. Short of getting new clocks fitted under warranty is there any other solution.

    If it was an older bike i would dismantle the clocks & remove the glass & bezel, clean the glass on the inside & refit it with a light smear of silicon sealant around the mating edge of the glass & the bezel to keep any moisture out.
    But, as its under warranty, get Triumph to do it free of charge :upyeah:

    I had three sets on my 07 SIII before the last ones stopped misting. Triumph are brilliant... at least while still under warranty!

    Hi and welcome to the forum. As Pig says I would take it back to the dealer and let them sort it, they should not mist up.

    I can understand that being the case with Brys old Speed Triple, but surely not on the mighty Thruxton? View attachment 2199

    Doin' stuff!

    You're not the boss of me, or my keeper (or carer - that's Pete the carer, nice bloke but I wish he'd stop fiddling with me, but hey, that's for a different forum)

    Fuck off - I'm watching the Holby City omnibus and eating pot noodles (your dinner). And I've got Jerry on 'record' to watch next. It's not my fault that I'm 18 stone - it's glandular!
