You changed out this gauge 3 times because of this issue? The parts guy should have told you that this is common for most of your gauges. Mine all do it. Welcome to the club.

Mine does the same thing. Clouds up, then clears after an hour or so on the road. Next day the same but not as bad. Don't ride for 3-4 days and back to square one. Keep riding & no more problem...

Mine did the same thing. I just don't pay any attention to it. I had several crotch rockets that did the same thing.

Same problems here...I don't use the gas gauge anyway so it's not much of a concern to me.

"They all do that." I know, not what you wanted to hear, but we all do.
