I popped out on the bird for the first time today in weeks. Noticed that the speedo started misting up as the bike got warmer.

Any ideas how I can stop this or am I going to need to take the cover off and give it a wipe and hope for the best?

If you can get it off easily I'd lob it in a bag of rice.

Still sounds like a seal has gone, so will probably come back.

Looks like a bit of a pain, the front end will need to come off.

Fog City or a Pin-Lock. Razz

As above and then find the leak.

When you get it off give it a soap test.

Spray the joints with soapy water and let the instrument warm up in the house.
Expanding air will bubble out from the bad seal area.

Then maybe you will want to get after the leak or not.
