TFT Speedometer gets severe condensation under normal operating conditions making it unsafe to operate the motorcycle and almost caused me an accident on multiple rides in the mountains. This puts the safety of myself and others at risk as I'm not able to read any potential safety information in my dash like speed, gear, traction control, gas mileage, and any electrical failures. 5" TFT dash speedometer (instrument cluster) gets severe condensation under it when operating under normal conditions. This is very dangerous as it can get so bad that I can't see the information in my dash and can cause me to operate the motorcycle in an unsafe manner. Additionally, the condensation has made the onscreen animations very laggy which indicates significant damage to components inside. The condensation under the screen can potentially block any information the TFT has to display about what gear the motorcycle is in, when stopping I'm unable to see when the motorcycle is in N or different gears.

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality.

The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
