Moisture inside both headlights and left rear indicator – 2025 Rocket 3 Storm R

[Koki_999]

Hey guys,

anyone else getting moisture inside both front headlights and the left rear indicator?
My Rocket 3 Storm R is just 6 months old with 6,000 km.

Not what I expected from a bike like this...

I don't, but then I don't leave it out in the elements or use water to clean it. Contact your dealer and see what they say.

Koi fish would be in order....

You might need a new side indicator, but the headlights should have a port that would allow to dry them with hot/dry air. Sometimes these ports have been closed by hot plastic, or have a rubber cap. I never removed the headlights, so I have not seen what they feature for myself.

I haven't noticed anything like that on my bike.

You're under warranty, so I'd have them replace both. If you weren't, or if it were a tremendous inconvenience, I'd fix it myself (if possible).

I had that happen to one of my Tiger's "sealed" fog lights. I took it apart, dried it out, and sealed it properly. You might be able to do the same for the turn signal.

The headlight, like someone else pointed out, should have a port (weep hole) that allows moisture and moist air to exit, but if there's a leak then it's possible for water ingress to overwhelm it. It's also a sealed unit, but it might be possible to disassemble and seal it correctly as well. If not, you can try putting it through some hot/cool cycles to force the moisture out, then jerry-rig some backyard solution like sealing tape around the seam where the lens is mated to the unit's housing (not the external housing or bezel, which aren't part of the unit.)
