| Description of the problem | Headlight fogs up while in operation causing limited lighting. I was told by the dealer that this was an environmental issue and not a safety issue. The motorcycle is still under full manufacturer warranty. I was told by the dealership that because it is an environmental issue and not a safety issue that the trouble was not covered under the factory warranty. So am i to understand that because i live in florida that my headlight should fog up? My other motor vehicles don't have this issue. I believe that this is clearly a safety hazard affecting limited sight distance and being able to see and be seen is hampered with the main headlamp fogging up. The fogging of the headlight happens with the vehicle in operation idle or moving. |
