Hi everyone
Any ideas why my speedo gets condensation inside the glass, and how to cure it? It's a bog standard one nothing fancy on my S3 restoration.
Thanks in anticipation

I have an original speedo on both a series 2 and a series 3 and after I've washed them they both steam up for a while.

Water getting in through the seal, I drill a couple of small holes in the lowest point of the case. Let's them breath, the speedo light warms and dries them out

Take the glass from the seal and run a thin bead of clear silicone around the edge and replace..

I've used those little silica bead bags that come in electrical goods.

Thanks everyone I'll probably try a combination of the suggestions.

Get it all the time on my S2. After 3-4 days in the dry the condensation evaporates. Even my ahem Vespa GTS has the same problem, clears with a few days in the dry. Both let in a tiny but noticeable amount of moisture when deluged.

It's a natural phenomenon. A 'friend' has had it on his Vespa GTS that I've ( sorry, 'he's' ) owned from new.

I was having a problem with this on my TV. Took the speedo apart. Dried in a warm oven. Re assembled with three silica gel packets I got from Amazon. My TV is never garaged and ridden all weather. No issues with condensation now. Speedo lens is clear.
