dashboard glass crack

stankosab · 10-17-2007, 5:35 PM

I got the dashboard glass cracked, the bike was in the garage all winter.
last july in pattaya i have seen 2 other 929 with the same crack, so i think it is a frequent problem maybe caused by exposition of sun (UV ray) and internal stress of the plastic.
anybody else know this problem?

i have heard of this before with 929's....but it was to do with a melting clock!!

seems that the heat in the clocks apprently have melted the glass/plastic
(i know of one definate case )

i dont know what the solution is, sorry...

Is there any way a set of 954RR clocks would fit?

You know what is really strange is this is the exact same spot mine is cracked too. Almost exactly the same way too. Wonder if this is a fault with the 929's?

The RC51 had a melting dash issue; it was caused by the windscreen focusing the sun onto a spot. I have a feeling it is the same issue you have, as a clock does not get hot. It takes very little computing power to run a clock.

i think is not a problem caused by heat because i discovered it when i have recover the bike after 4 months she was covered in a box protected from the sun,dust,heat.
I think this is a fault with the 929's.
and think noother dashboard can fit it (aftermarket race spare a part)
