tray Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Hello guys, I have a fj 09 since june 2015 and i am struggling with moisture inside the display, as you can see in the photos. My dealer exchange the display recently but guess what it has the same problem. My bike never sleeps outside and even it it was sleeping outside, i think it's not normal on this kind of bike. Can you tell if it happens also on your bikes or it is jut on mine? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilanr1 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Not on my bike either. I'm driving it on a daily basis even on rainy days. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member lhancock Posted February 6, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted February 6, 2016 I've read of a few people having similar issues but I don't recall the problem coming back once the screen was replaced under warranty. Personally I'd be skeptical of weather the dealer actually replaced it or just took it apart and cleaned it up a little. It should not be happening so have it replaced again and be there when they do the work. I'm not above making identifying marks on things to be replaced just so that I can verify it has indeed been done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tray Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 Thanks for the help guys. When they changed the display they showed me the new one and when i left the dealer the new one still had a plastic cover on it, so I assume it was new but we never know. I will try again with the dealer but it's really strange this kinda of problems with a bike built to face harsh weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpress Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Mine sits out in the rain and I've never had this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diveslob Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I'm on my second display. And this one's doing the same! Might have to have a third one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tray Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 It's really annoying. When they exchanged your display, the new one started to have the same problem immediately? Do you ride in rainy weather? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sulfurmdk Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 No issues with mine either. I would be skeptical they even replaced the screen ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tray Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 I forgot to say that on my bike the display only starts to show moisture when i'm riding. When i start the bike in the morning there is no moisture whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docsimple Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Put a small ink dot on your display. If they are covering it under warranty I have a hard time believing they dont get a whole new unit. Hide that dot well and see if they replace it or not! 2015 Red FJ 09 2013 WR250R - little boy blue - sold 2012 DL650 V Strom - sold 2007 FZ6 - sold 1986 FJ600 - sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tray Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 I certainly will put the ink dot. Next week i will go to my dealer and ask for another display and see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thespaceman Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 About a month ago I rode with a group through a torrential rain from South Beach to the Florida Keys for the better part of 3 hours. I'm talking deluge, flooding-level rain. By the time we got to Key Largo, the right half of the display had gone blank. Initially it wouldn't cycle screens, it just stayed on the MPG form. Then the idiot lights started coming on and I got worried about it shutting down and/or not restarting. I turned around and rode home (thank God I'd filled up just before the worst of the rain). The next day the bike started, but the lights were still on and the right-hand display was still out. It was warm and dry out, so I rode about 40 miles up and down the Turnpike to dry out the display and cook the water out of the engine oil. Along that ride the display returned to normal and it's been fine since, but obviously I'm worried about a recurrence of this. I called the dealer and told the service writer what happened. They said I'd have to bring it in "failed" to do anything about it. I did re-work the wiring I did to connect my Zumo to the bike. I have it landed on one of the 2 spare connectors behind the windscreen. Previously I'd just removed the connector's blanking plug, stuffed the soldered wire tips in, and taped it up. This time I removed the connector, put on shrink tubes, soldered the leads, smeared RTV on the exposed wire, and then heated the shrink tube until the RTV squished out. If there is another occasion of this problem it won't be because of my conection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
