    Default Gauge Glare

    Has anyone figured out a solution to help be able to read the gauges on a new 2018 F3 during the daylight?

    Appreciate any ideas.

    You can go into the Settings ==> Display and increase the backlight to maximum. It will help legibility. (My top-of-the-line Harley Road Glide CVO has even worse glare.)

    For any year, get yourself a anti glare screen protector for a tablet and cut to fit...stay away from the glass ones....cheaper is better in this case

    What color is your riding jacket?
    You're probably getting a reflection of it in your gauges: try wearing something darker.

    Are your handlebars black: or are they gray?
    If they're the latter: try putting a strip of electrical tape on the leading edge of them.

    I have a 2018 RT and no glare in bright sunshine. Go to setup and try to adjust the display brightness.

    Yup! The 2018 display is far less affected in bright sunlight!
