Moisture in Speedo
16 Jun 2008 15:34
Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone knows : can you get the moisture out of a speedo and tack? Doesn't look like you can get them apart. Mine has some moisture behind the lens and I would like to dry out /clean them . any info?

A blow dryer with the backside (with holes) up to let out the moisture might just work.
Otherwise you can take them apart, but it's not an easy task.
You have to carefully uncrimp the center band and separate the halves.
It could be worse. You could've had a Spider in there, with web, that stopped the needle from passing 60KPH like mine:

dshelly, You can open up the speedometer and clean it just fine.
