Dial condensation.

None whatsoever on my 2012 Bonnie
Bike sleeps outside and gets used virtually all year round.
This problem seems to be a bit hit and miss ?

 

Had my T120 about 6 months now. Last week took it out on a sunny-ish day and the clocks did mist up a little bit. Somewhat surprised/bemused when i got back i undid the 4 screws that hold the backing on and left it overnight. All gone in the morning. There are two little holes at the base of the plastic cowling so the 'breathable' thing is sort of true. I figured they were draining holes. Anyhow, i have decided its not a biggy and no bike is perfect (well i havent ever found one yet that is) so unless this turns into a much greater problem i'm gonna ignore it. P.s went out yesterday did about 100 miles all crystal clear....

 

What happens with mine is like a smearing of gel appears - it is definitely not condensation. It only happens on sunny days, but once my bike goes bike in the garage the smearing disappears in front of my eyes. I would say my speedo has a poorly applied coating (coating is to stop condensation). Even in the garage if i examine the speedo glass closely I can see some streaking on the glass at the bottom of the glass - this is the exact location where the smearing occurs on sunny days.

 

I did 90 miles in the pissing rain today and my clocks didn't mist up once.

After a tea & cake stop the ride back was blue skies & sun - and then they started misting!

 

Just got mine changed, no questions asked...

 

I've noticed similar. Wasn't too bothered but if they correct the annoying return to mileage display then it's probably worth it.
Job for service time I reckon

 

It looks like Triumph can't seem to get it right - very annoying.

 

Just out of curiosity, is the original mileage somehow retained on the new dials or does it reset to 0?

 

Interesting, my dealer said nothing they can do to load old mileage, new clocks with zero on them.

 

Hi Tricolore, unfortunately not surprising to me at all! The IT knowledge level of the average bike mechanic is really very poor. With their diagnostic terminals they should be able to reset the odometer in a matter of seconds.

 

Dealer that changed mine managed to reset the mileage to previous reading on replacement set.

 

That might be a worry further down the line for people looking at buying 'genuine mileage' used bikes

 

I've only done 880 miles so not a massive mileage to effect values etc but agree, I hate it when there's any mileage anomalies when you're buying second hand..

I'll speak with the dealer....

 

Noticed inside condensation on my clock glasses this morning. Couldn't see the digital displays. Really annoying.
