[Hero on my Zero]

Quick background: I bought my ZERO SR (2015) in 2018 with 4.000 km (aprox. 2500 miles) on it. It drove and looked like is just came out of the factory.

Luckily for me it came with 6 months of warranty, because about three months after I got my fancy electric horse this started to happen: (see attached image).

It started like a small strip sitting at the top right hand corner, kinda "horizontal" and then it just went lower and lower and lower on one side over a couple of days of riding the bike. When it was covering part of the text on the dash, I went to the dealer to get it fixed. They claimed they had never seen this before.

I left the bike and could pick it up the day after. They said that they just opened the dash and then they could just "blow the particle way". They closed the dash again and that was it.

So for those who are out of warranty and have this same problem, now you know there is an easy fix for it.

It looks like a piece of foreign material that just got wedged in there. I've never noticed a foil layer near the screen edge.

Reference photos of a 2015DS dash that I have onhand for the disassembly are here:

For what it's worth, there is a concern about resealing the enclosure if you take it apart. A little grease around the rubber seal or something might be helpful.

Thanks for pointing me to that.  It indeed is weird when taking a close look at the pictures of the dash components.

Must have been something that happened during manufacturing of that specific dash.
