I noticed on my ride home today (after bike had been sitting in the rain pretty much all day) that there was some condensation inside my spedo. ie behind the plastic cover. i could hardly read my clocks!

Now, before i go stripping apart the clocks, i wanted to know if this has happen to other people?

see the thing is, i cant really see where water is getting in either, there are no cracks or anything.

im hoping it will dry out over night, but if its a reoccuring thing, what would people recommend to fix it? has any one else had any problems like this before?

It Doesn't necessarily have to be water physically getting into your speedo, just a little gap for humid air to get in is enough. Just wait for a hot dry day (or you could blowdry it), then find where the gap is (usually between the face and the trim) and seal it with some sort of gunk.

This happened on my bandit and it fixed the issue!

This is very common. My Bandido rev counter does it. Both my RXS clocks do. Doesn't seem to do them any harm.
