multistrada display misting
 

i own an ex-demo 03 multistrada which has had its fair share of problems but have allways been sorted fairly quickly buy my local dealer Veloce, i keep reading references to dashboard misting and am concerned that i may have a problem with mine, over the 10 months i have owend the multibeast the dash has misted several times but always cleared at various speeds, is this something i should be concerned about, any thoughts appreciated, the warrenty is due to exspire in the next month or so. :puzzled:

There has been a problem with the displays on the multi's misting over and as far as i know they have been changed under warranty so my advice would get it changed while you can.:)

It's only held together with several plastic clips, inside the assembly is a small rubber seal, could be that...

and also some monsters too!

My M1000 had the same - clocks changed under warranty by dealer, no probs at all:)
(M750ie had the same prob - replacement clocks on that too!)

C:)

My 620 clocks did that - they dried out on Sunday but it was definitely annoying!

its unanimous then, back to the dealer on saturday for a new dash, thanks for your comments/advice:smug:

Been there,done that:P;)

The problem is Simon,if it mists up to bad the bike will stop!I had three on mine in six months.The later ones have different seals fitted and a resistor type thingy to make the fuel guage react slower as it swills around the tank(especially when passing 998`s:lol::lol: )
The first sign is normally the green indicator warning light in the dash staying on.Go see John or ring him and tell him what`s happened,it`s only a ten minute job to change,three bolts and a key reprogramme,he can do it with his eyes shut he`s done so many:lol:

Yes, mines just started doing it now! Faint green light showing and the display virtually unreadable. Knowing the problems with these units I have done everything I can to keep it dry. I am now expecting the bike to develop the famous brake shudder everyone talks about!
