Tiger 1050 Instrument Condensation

I would leave it and it will clear on it's own mate.

Yes just let it dry out on its own. You start putting heat and the likes and you dry out the complete clocks plus the grease smear on the mechanism. Just when you get it dry put some extra polish on the clocks to seal them properly. They will be fine.

I will keep an eye out for this on my tiger. Like Joe says best to leave it alone to dry out naturally. If you get the chance (and you do get some sun) leave your bike in the sun this will help it along.

 

Agree with everyone to let it dry naturally.

I'd be more concerned with how the moisture enter the clocks. There is a single plug going into the back of the unit. It has a rubber grommet cover to keep water out. It is quite common for that grommet to come loose. Only way to check is to strip off the front fairing bit and have a look.

Shout out if you need help on how to do that.

 

Hi, I had similar problems with one of my previous bikes last winter (CB 1300) what I started doing when she was parked up in the garage was to tape a couple of the little silica bags ( the ones that come with some clothing/electrical goods etc sent through the post) to the face and underneath the clocks, these gradually absorbed moisture and helped to solve the problem, I do it now with my other bikes as a preventative measure and I also now keep a cheap dehumidifier in the garage, £6 from B&Q and £4 for 2 replacement blocks which last around a month or 2, no electricity involved just big round blocks you put in a plastic container, its amazing how much moisture this draws out the air.
