MOPED ARMY

When I lived in Indiana I use to put a sheet of thick plastic down and park the bike on that. Do you keep it covered? It may be trapping moisture. If the relative humidity is the issue idk if there is anything you could do. You could try a vent hole ahead it up with a hairdryer to remove the moisture.

Park it in a bowl of rice.

Study the design, maybe there is a vent that has been plugged over time? Hard to believe BMW did not address that detail?

Unless there was one vent for both... I have never seen this issue. It is clearly real, not doubting the man, but makes me wonder is all.

Easier to take them apart, clean and inspect gasketing, and see how the design was supposed to work. BMW is too high end, on motorcycles anyway, f the cars, to allow this, something wore out.

Wrap an electric heating pad around the gauge cluster and secure it there. Turn it on and wait a day or so...

thanks for the replies. I got a little sidetracked on my reed intake project.

I think I am gonna go for it and just take the gauges off and open them up. Just to be certain they are not rustin up inside. Get some corrosion inhibitor in there, and put new seals on them.

Driving the moisture out with heat probably works well enough. I ride a lot and in all weather, so I need to get a permanent fix.

Proper seals are €€€. Hope to come up with a practical solution that isn’t to spensive.
