Yep I get the same thing. I just live with it as it evaporates eventually.

I've had moisture/condensation in my gauges also. When the moisture dries it has been leaving a film or residue on the glass and is starting to make it difficult to read in sunlight. I have been dealing with it but, no longer willing to. I'm going to it take to the dealer and see if they can fix it or replace the gauges under warranty.

I replaced speedo face with skull one from www.customspeedometers.com, sealed it with silicone and still gets moist, thinking about opening it and place anti-moisture pill inside it, and wiping glass with anti-fogging.

The speedo's have a small hole in them for drainage, unfortunately they get condensation in them. Sometimes water gets in them from wasing your bike if you spray it alot with high pressure. It seems to be something we all just have to live with. I do like the idea about putting in an anti-moisture pill.
