Liquid stains behind display screen

Post by gadgetgaz »

Has anyone seen this behind their screen?
It is not really a problem since I can hardly see it in normal use but if you catch the light just right it it's obvious. It looks like condensation has formed at some time in the past inside the glass and left marks behind. I must stress it is not this visible in normal use. I presume it is not an easy job to take apart the glass and clean behind it?

I got my RT new in September 2014 and it had ‘condensation’ marks behind the display. At the time some folks managed to get them replaced under warranty but I just rode the bike and got used to it.




To be fair yours looks quite bad! I’ll post a pic of mine tomorrow for comparison.

When viewing the full "Forum" page, entering "condensation" in the search box at the top right-hand corner of the page throws up a couple of threads with owners experiencing similar problems.
