Or anyway to remove the scratches or settle on a new gauge. New gauge is only real option unfortunately... the lcd covering film isnt very thick and i havent found a way to remove the scratches on mine $220 or so for a new meter ATGATT... ATTATT, two acronyms I live by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mardi72 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 like someone used it to write something, light but smudgy scratches I hate people. I've seen 'screen protector' film for our bike's gauge being sold somewhere, at the time I thought it was silly.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ralph Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Depends how deep they are, Solvo Autosol chrome polish Tooth paste Jewellers Ruge Stuff for removing scratches from mobi phones all work but try in a small out of the way place bit before going for it. Don't think the warranty will cover it but insurance may but due to no claims and having to pay the first £££ may not be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member snowdriftless Posted April 13, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted April 13, 2016 before you get a new dash, try rubbing some toothpaste on the dash. It has fine grinding particles that can smooth out some plastics. P1: Vice? I have no vice, I'm as pure as the driven snow! P2: Yeah but you've been drifting All the gear all the time!

MeHigh Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 You will find HERE some tips and tricks that people (me included) use on their phones screens. They should apply for the dash screen too. Anyway, a lot cheaper then 220$. And definitely get a screen protector for it once you get rid of the scratches. Even if you have to buy a phablet/tablet screen protector and cut it to size it is still worth the shot. MT-07 Prospect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmwpowere36m3 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 If their very light, I'd start with Plexus plastic cleaner, protectant and polish. It works well and its a good cleaner/polish for plastic in general. Otherwise, try the lightest automotive polish (i.e., swirl remover) on a microfiber towel (or add applicator), before jumping to rubbing compound. The LCD for some reason is very delicate on this bike. I cut a tablet screen protector to fit and it's been good since I put it on since last year.

Beemer Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 If this is safe to get rid of scratches on plastic headlights I would think it's safe to use on other clear plastics but don't take my word for it. It's just a heads up to the product you may have not known about, you decide and good luck whatever you choose to do. http://www.meguiars.com/en/automotive/products/g3000-heavy-duty-headlight-restoration-kit/#XCh2EW4Hm0ZVRog5.97 Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParticleCannon Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Along these lines if one were to dish out the whole LCD unit: Where is the mileage and trip information stored? If we change the LCD with a brand new replacement, does the counter start at zero? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just picked up a new-to-me 2015 and it has that line. Looks to me like something burned into the LCD rather than anything on the surface of the display.
