Hey everyone!

First post here and probably something obvious but I'm a new biker
and recently purchased a CG125, everything has been perfect however as the weather has gotten colder I've noticed that the speedo fogs up sometimes to a point where its no longer visible.
Not sure what could be causing the problem or how to fix it, I can't seen any damage etc that might be a problem, hope someone can give me a little advice.

Thanks!

It obviously has moisture inside so
I'd whip it off, strip it down and dry it out first.
Next, reassemble checking the seals are all OK.
If not, in the absense of new seals, you can sometimes selectively use stuff like
Silicone sealer,Grease, Vaseline, Clear nail varnish in strategic places
to keep the weather out.
A by product of the backlights is to add some heat to the clocks
so check the bulbs as well.

I do use a cover and it is often still misted in the morning. It does mist up while riding though especially if it starts to rain but often when not as well.
I will have a look at stripping it down, would you happen to know anywhere I could find information on how to do so? the backlight bulb is very dim as well, not sure if this is normal for a cg, when its mist free the light is enough but barely.

Thanks for the reply.
