2021 TFT Screen

Post by DLS »

Can anyone tell me how to clean the TFT screen on my 2021 1250RT? I used Plexis by mistake and now it is all streaked.

Try alcohol wipes used for cleaning spectacles.

Try ProtectAll.  Good for the entire motorcycle.

spit lightly on it and wipe with a clean rag

I had been using glass cleaner that is safe for tint and a microfiber but recently installed a screen protector.  The glass cleaner still works well.

When I bought mine a couple of months ago the screen was absolutely awful - really, really bad! I tried wipes, meths, polish, spit - the works and nothing did the trick and I fact some made it worse.
In the end before fitting a protector from speedo I washed it probably around 6 or 7 times just with diluted fairy liquid. With patience and a lot of plain old drying and rubbing with a micro fibre cloth it came up really well.
It worked for me - good luck.
