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!

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!

Afraid not Glyn Mate,the numpty uses the ST3 dash.no bulbs as such,if any of the warning lights go Pete Tong it`s a "chuck the lot away job"Then reprogramme the keys to match,the unit is totally sealed:( so if you`re out of warranty............................
As for Snetterton,I would really like to as it`s a saturday and I wouldn`t have to take time off work,but I just don`t have the spare cash at the moment:( The trouble is I can`t see work picking up for a month or to,then my overtime is a month behind.I also want to start saving for WDW2006:o:D

New dash is on order, so that should be sorted within the next couple of weeks. Really shoud`nt go in to sort these problems as i always something shiney that would look good on the MS, carbon fibre fuel filler cover/billet cap, nice but soooooo exspensive:roll:
