diveslob Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Hi all. So after my 11hr ride across France the other day in torrential rain I've had to have a new instrument cluster ordered to replace mine. Basically it had so much water/condensation in it that it was unreadable for a week and I had to rely on my Garmin montana as a speedo. Anyone else had this issue?

adjuster Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Mine does not seem to like being out in the sun on a hot day. The "Multi" side is showing signs of being overheated. I need to take it back to the dealer I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vespadaddy Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Stock screen, or aftermarket? I ask because there was a photo somewhere online that showed a melted cluster on an FJ-09 with an aftermarket screen. It seems the screen concentrated the solar power in one spot on the cluster and melted it slightly. I plan to order a light smoke screen for this reason, though I have always preferred clear in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregman Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I've ridden mine every day for six months, rain or shine. It's been monsooned upon, thrashed in the mud and generally abused. Not a single problem with mine so far. '15 FJ-09 Red is the fastest color!

hawkgt Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Condensation on the lower right of the screen this morning, second time I've seen it, goes away a few hours later, I took a pic and emailed the dealer, they say Yamaha wants me to send in the cluster, since it's an intermittent problem I'm afraid they won't see it. I've been riding for over 20 years and this was my first brand new bike I ever purchased, should have know first year model issues would annoy me. 2015 FJ-09 2009 WR250R 1989 HawkGT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right side only, screen goes dark until some air moves over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkgt Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Mine has never blacked out, just some wavy lines, but the dealer said Yamaha would cover it as long as there is no physical damage. 2015 FJ-09 2009 WR250R 1989 HawkGT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diveslob Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 My new instrument cluster is getting fitted next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlomb436 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Anyone have an updated on the clusters? I have a feeling that right side just can't handle heat. Whenever I ride in 100+ degree weather, that basically fails or becomes hard to read. I would imagine a replacement would just do the same. Anyone had any lucky?

Premium Member bttrthnwrk Posted December 25, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted December 25, 2015 I can't tell you about replacements, but my original instrument cluster works fine in 100+ heat (typical Tucson summer temps). The only time it's hard to read is when the sun gets in just the right position behind me, and the glare is a killer. Don't follow. Don't lead. Don't join.

Buggy Nate Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Mine goes dark on the multi side as well sitting in the sun outside work, goes back to normal after riding for a few minutes. Must be the heat getting to the lcd display.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
