Dial condensation.

Yes certainly can’t complain within an hour of letting my Dealership know via email and a couple of pics they’d ordered the replacements under warranty so far couldn’t ask for more .

 

Your right he wouldn’t admit over the phone to knowing this was an issue but he certainly was arguing the fact they needed replacing . Bit random how they misted up though I’ve ridden the bike in some biblical rain in wales and over in France and they were fine just happened yesterday for the first time .

 

I found the whole T120 ownership experience to be a big disappointment. I got rid of it over a year ago due to numerous quality issues and replaced it with a Suzuki V-Strom 1000 which has been faultless. It cost a fair bit less than the T120 and I wish I'd bought the Suzuki in the first place. Sorry to read that the quality issues are ongoing but I'm not that surprised.

 

This is the first issue ive had with the bike and so far I’ve enjoyed owning it so I hope this is just a blip

I have to add to the string that I have had no issues (corrosion, squeaking brakes, misting clocks, dodgy starters, or anything else) with mine, now over 12 months old.

Nothing but happy wind-swept motoring grins, and long may they continue.

Sorry for all those that have had issues but mine's GREAT!

 

New dials fitted under warranty with no hassle when I asked how many they’d replaced they said they’ve had to do a few not many !! The fact they replaced them without any questions asked makes me think they’re more than aware of the issue but can’t complain with the service I rang them Friday and the dials we in on Monday . The original mileage was loaded onto the dials via the ecu I guess .

 

I have a 2016 Street Twin and queried this with the dealer, Bevans in Cardiff. They told me it was normal and that it evaporates through a breather hole. I find it does disappear.

 

Triumph replaced mine no questions asked and a month later replaced them on a thruxton r of my workmates which has the same problem both bikes where about 18 months old

 

I think they are guilty as charged

 

SOLUTION: I completely dismantled my speedo for the same fogging issue only to find that the tiny allan key screw on the top can be opened a bit to let air in for breathability. This will dry up the dials after a couple of minutes. No need for new dials...I'm surprised the dealer didn't know that?

 

Well done for finding the solution

 

I'd say just enough for the whole thing to fill up with water when it rains . It doesn't seem like the best design does it, you have to choose between having fog or being water-tight.

Personally I think it's better to drill a 3mm hole in the bottom of the dial housing.. that's after you've fully dismantled it and can see that you won't put a 3mm hole in anything important though!

 

Thanks for info above .Reading this thread as finding white spots(presumably condensation) on speedometer and tachometer dials about 30% on each lower half . I noticed then on return from 500 mile service,bike had been washed and Sun out just as about to put bike away.

Following morning they have gone but I still emailed dealer and await reply .
