So... I was washing my bike today... and my headlights fogged up... WHATS UP WITH THAT! It's an '06 for crying out loud! Does anyone else have this problem??? What do I do to solve the problem? Is it covered under warranty???

 

[AiR]

only the middle one above the headlights fogs up on my and I use the pressure washer alot so something must be up with yours

 

[JSS829]

Id take it in and try to get it warrantied out...hope you havent dropped it, because I highly doubt that will fly if you have.

its own bro the dealer will not warranty it

 

[jeffRRy]

Believe it or not its not that the headlight are leaking
or is letting water in so to speak its heat condesation

my 06 did it, and my 05 does it.
it's normal. it should go away when run your headlights.

headlight fogging

My 04 fogs a bit when washed when the motor is hot.....

It's normal. If you change the headlight fluid it sometimes helps.

[sidewayz]

yeah its normal when u wash the bike and running it on cold weather. as moeman said it will evaporate on its own.

+1 my 06 is doing the same thing and its pissing me off

The only reason my head light fogs up is cause there is a huge crack at the bottom of it. I replaced the headlight assembly and dont have anymore problems. I dont think I would go as far as to say its normal though. BTW I have an 06.

Trust us it's normal. Even if the light housing is perfectly sealed it will still create condensation due to the various temperatures. Lights = warm/hot, outside air = cold = condensation.

How come only one of mine fogs up then after running both lights? I'm gonna call my dealer too, I'll let you know what they say, I'm sure they will say its normal so they dont have to **** with it. Also, I wonder why cars headlights dont fog up all the time too? I have an 06 and this should not be an issue.

Edit: Just called my dealer and he told me to bring it in and he would fix it.

Doesn't matter whether your bike is an 06 or an 03. They all do it. Let us know what the dealer says though.

The headlight is NOT a sealed unit. Condensation will get inside, but eventually evaporate overtime.
