Default had a thought while riding home today..

Took a look at my speedo and tach and saw condensation on the inside face....might pull them out when the season is over and stuff them all in a big container of rice...should work right?

They will dry out on their own.

or silica gel or kitty litter

we use a clay kitty litter type dessicant when shipping containers of electronics by sea.

after use, they get baked in the oven to drive the moisture out

I have the same issue. They always seem to dry out on there own. Besides "when the season is over"??? The season never has to end. Ride all year long. (If you can)

I know that they will dry out but it's always coming back...I mean, how the Hell does it get in there?

I'll ride year round but sometimes in mid winter, she may sit a couple weeks.

Didn't really think about it much while I was riding...more so after I parked her.

Wonder though...would the rice void warranty?
