There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Let's see....
There were those kind of problems way back and still occationally now. You could get replacement lenses and open the cluster up clean and dry and reasemble but not for the faint at heart. If I recall warranty covered them would be a good question for your dealer. Most of the past ones were moisture not oily but still visable...:gaah:

F3 Same Issue
I've got the same issue with the gauges on my F3. In the right hand side of the gauge cluster it appears there is a oil or water residue on the interior of the lens. Almost as if the seal had leaked, moisture had formed on the interior of the lens and then evaporated over time leaving a slight dirt/oily film residue. It appears the F3 gauges may have a means to separate the front lens cover... Anyone have expire nice opening the gauges ?? It's not terrible and is really only visible if the light catches it right but my OCD won't let me pass on it...

Did the search, watched the video, looks pretty straight forward. I'll let y'all know.
Service Dept. fixed it..........
Service tech knew exactly what it was and fixed it. Took the lens out and cleaned it. However, you may not want it all removed, just remove the excess that's easily visible. The stuff is there for a reason. Mine is fairly clean now and I can only see a little bit of it when the bike is parked and sun is shining on at the right angle. Other than that it's not noticeable any more.

Didn't work for me. As soon as I put water on it and lightly began to daub with the tissue, the coating began to come off in little chunks. So, I tried rubbing to remove all of the coating. Didn't work. Now most of the lens is cloudy. It doesn't seem at the moment to be any more difficult to see the gauges, but it sure does look like crap.
Guess I'll just order a new lens and be done with it.
On a brighter note, the removal and re-install is a piece of cake.
New lens ordered from ServiceHonda.com. $17.00 + shipping.

Received the lens yesterday, replaced the old one today. Piece of cake.
P/N for speedometer cover
I tried cleaning but tissue was getting stuck all over lens, now made it worse. Any advise of what to use, then how to keep it from fogging up. Or where I could just purchase a new one with the part number?

Buy a new one. I would give you a part number but you did not share the model and year of your Spyder. You can look it up for yourself in the parts catalog on BRPs' Spyder website.

Seem my previous post. Servicehonda.com for $17.00 US plus shipping.
Sorry for the bump, but...
The video on YouTube for this makes it look extremely simple. However, the second comment under that video states that there may be an added difficulty on these units due to the external fuel & temperature guages?
So, before I get into this, has anyone done this on a 2014+ RTS or Limited??
Thanks.
