After my enertia was ridden and left out in the rain a few months ago, some vapor appeared in both the speedo and the computer panel. I haven't considered this cause for alarm, it sometimes happens to bikes and I figured unless something malfunctions, I probably have no case for repair/replacement. But it's annoying because it obscures what I'm trying to look at. After quite a bit of time, the vapor is mostly gone. But of course I assume it will happen again next rainy season.
Has anyone had this problem? Has anyone tried silicone sealant around the seams in the controls to prevent it?

High desert living for me...so no.
But we do have a number of members who live in much more humid climates than me.
Hopefully they will have an answer...Heck, Ashland has to be be fairly wet quite often.

Yes, but it seems to be only a temporary problem based on the following thread:

I ride in wet and humid weather a lot and I have not personally seen this issue with my Enertia Classic. I bet a silicone sealant would help.

This was a common problem with early BMW K-bikes. I believe one solution was to vent the speedometer assembly with a vent hole or two and seal them with a Gore Tex-type membrane.
