    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

Moisture inside my guages?

Now that it's cold out, i've noticed on the past severall rides I am getting moisture on the inside of my guage lenses, but only on the smaller fuel gage, and the oil temp gage. My speedo and tach do not. Any other folks get this issue? After about 3 hours of riding, the moisture does go away.

There's something about that plastic that loves to condense water on the inside. I've had it happen on the T on humid summer days when the outside temp is warmer than the temp in the garage. I have no idea how to fix but you might try a little rain-x coating if you feel like taking it apart. It may also be possible to seal it up a little better so it has time to adjust to changing air and temperature. Like you said it dries up quick so I don't think you're doing any damage if you just forget about it.
 
We don't have the same climate as you but is the bike covered with a blanket or at least a towel over the instruments if parked in the sun? This keeps heat and moisture away and the whole bike benefits.
 
I've had it happen after washing my bike and not carefully overspraying around the instrument cluster. It's never caused any electrical problems and usually evaporates when heating up setting in direct sunlight.

I park my GS is a garage with a light cloth M/C cover. The garage however is shaded and tends to be damp feeling in the colder months. I'm just miffed as to why ONLY the small temp and fuel guages generate mositure, and not the tach and speedo??????
 
Ditto, I have the same thing, and I always thought it was weird too.

If I go on a road trip (just about the only time the bike sleeps outside) the small gauges will be fogged from the inside. But the big clocks are fine!

WTF??
