Is there a difference in the different year models or do we all have the same one?
Most of my reading has seemed to focus on the display that has gone back to normal. The part that bothers me is that the black plastic above the selector buttons where it meets the display looks like a heat gun was left on it and deformed. I will take it to the dealer when I get back, the front TPM battery is flashing now since its cooler so they should be able to fix that too.
My wife and I are on our BRP vacation and decided to stop at a rest area for a little break, maybe 20 minutes. Upon returning to the road I noticed that my Display area was burned by the sun between the Speedo and the Tach in the black plastic area. The display had a large black spot that covered the clock area but after about 30 minuted it returned to normal. The area just below the clock where the clear display meets the platic is now deformed like a lighter was held to it. I will post pictures when I return home. I thought I remember reading about this but forgot and did not cover the area. It is kind of ridiculous that the bike cannot be left in direct sunlight. Has anyone had theirs replaced under warranty? Thanks.
There is no way normal direct sun could be hot enough to melt plastic.... unless it was lensed...
It's been an issue since they first came out, thought to be caused by the edge of the screen magnifying the sun's rays. Some have had the red needles distorted/melted. Always cover the dash if leaving in the sun, or fit a tinted screen.
Sorry, but if I have to remember to carry a towel to cover my gauges then I'll go buy another bike if Kawasaki doesn't cover it under warranty. They certainly can't expect us to only ride at night or on rainy days!!!
I think I remember reading about a warranty claim and they referred to it as Sun Branding. So you might look that up and see if it's a term Kawasaki would recognize and replace the damaged part under warranty.
If you go that route you may want to pop a stock windshield back on....just sayn'
Before the server crash, there were plenty of these threads. Kawi blames them on aftermarket shields. If you take it in for warranty work, make sure you put a stock shield back on first or it may not be covered. It happened to mine, I just left them without having them replaced.
