Title: Headlight lens moisture issue...
Post by: Pelican on March 26, 2016, 05:57:52 AM

I own a 2014 super 8 150 and I have a moisture issue, it's getting inside the headlight and unfortunatly my tail light lens now, it takes weeks for it to dissipate, is anyone else having this issue, and is there a way that you may have fixed it?

-Thanks

Is the face of your headlight loose from the back of headlight, they are hot melted together when it is made,  look all around light and see if it has come loose, and hot melt some nylon stick to any loose spots,   there may be a vent some where on the bottom, if your lights are sealed tight,  to let the vapor out when the lights are on,

Thanks I'll give is a try, these roads here in Hawaii are like washboards in some places, they're ruining my poor bike.

Check psi in tires. ...soften rear shock preload? Diet?
Some tires ride softer than others. ..what say your scooter'in buddies regarding this issue?
Bad luck to be stuck with rough roads....scooters can't give the smoothest rides by their design nature.
Good luck.
