Hello guys!
@popgun yes there was a lot of corrosion I forgot to mention those pics were before cleaning it. I don't have pictures after I cleaned it but it was much better.
The main reason why water filtered in is because the previous owner had this "mechanic" who just fill the whole white lower case with cheap glue and left many spaces to the open and of course we have water in. So I used my 8 year old skills and sealed the whole lower case with tape and silicone... I know it sucks but it is what it is. I made sure if I ever caught some rain riding the inside of the speedometer would be dry or at least to have less moisture than before. Then I sealed both the upper and bottom speedometer case with more silicone. Looks like venom from spiderman poop on my meter but hey as long as it works right?
@Pdedse I'm in El Salvador heart of central America, it's really hot here so I was a little scared of having a big air cooled bike. But I used repsol 10w40 and some split lanes always do the work
@GoldOxide I'm not that close I live in the capital, the ocean is at 30 minute from my house.
I'm pretty sure you guys are asking if I live close to the ocean due to the humidity inside but the real reason why there's corrosion inside is because the previous owner didn't care about the crack on the meter and let water got inside of it.
Hopefully this MacGyver repair I performed is enough to have this working at least a couple of years ( fingers crossed)
