Mike5100 2,061 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 yeah Stuart - but what's to stop the moisture getting back in unless you can find some way of hermetically sealing it. I seem to remember I used a hair dryer on mine but the dampness came back - not sure if any hot air was penetrating the instrument mind you Mike Link to post
Guest Old Man Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Will refit when dry and fit rubber plug carefully with a little silicone grease as suggested above. If it comes back will ask to have changed under warranty. Think the key is to leave it for a couple of days to completely dry out before refitting . Link to post
Guest Sid Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Mines did it. Had it replaced under warranty. Mileage starts again from zero miles. Have a letter from Honda stating work has been done and what the mileage was prior. Link to post
Guest Flighttime Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Mine was replaced by Honda. I wasn't going to bother but after a couple bad days during last winter when it wouldn't clear my dealer ordered a replacement. The replacement was fine all winter & had no issues this summer. presumably the odometer has to reset to zero does it? Mike Yep, back to zero. Thought that now it has very low Km's again it would be a good time to trade in I did ask if they could program the new dash with the original km's but it can't be done apparently. Link to post

Suprised at this thought the milage would somehow be recorded to the ECU. Edited February 15, 2014 by PNE Link to post
edgey999 115 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Brand new NC750X with 153miles on the clock, steamed up speedo. Took into dealer and warranty claim made. Hope to get it changed at first service. Link to post
Mike5100 2,061 Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 Given that my dealer said he'd noticed it on ALL his bikes standing outside in the sun after a rainy day, I'm surprised that swapping the speedo is a fix. Unless Honda know it's a problem and have a stock of hermetically sealed speedos to supply for anyone who complains. If not then there's a pretty good chance your replacement will do the same. I have seen one report from a guy who said the replacement was fine - it would be good to get reports back from others who get them changed Mike Link to post
ScaredyCat 1,659 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) Hmmm.... I've now noticed this. Took a ride to English Whisky at St.George's Distillery and noticed this. Bright sunshine but not warm weather couldn't really see the numbers through the condensation. Thought it would just go away. Then saw this thread. It's a bit windy right now but weather it supposed to be better tomorrow so will take her out for a run then to see what the state is. Edited February 15, 2014 by ScaredyCat Link to post

Guest chickenflaps Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I've never had even a hint of this problem, and my bike gets used daily, summer or winter in every weather. Maybe it's just luck... Link to post

If it makes you feel any better, Iain Henderson a distiller from Laphroaig who was due to retire, helped with the first run of 29 barrels. It only opened to the public in 2007. If I'm ever up your way I'll drop you a bottle of Chapter 10 and you can have a good old moan while you drink it 2 Link to post

Quite correct sir for real whiskey he should have caught the ferry to Ireland It was the 'English + whisky' that shocked me. I mean, the English aren't even Celts! Mind you, if they can make it in Japan and India and call it whisky. Link to post
Guest dentonlad Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Don't forget the Welsh have had a go with 5 whiskies distilled at Penderyn......they're Celts.... Link to post

Yup, I was foolishly trying to make the point that only Celts can really make whisky. I've tried Welsh Whisky and I thought it was 'different' to Scotch whisky, but still very nice. Link to post
