So,, as some of you may know I have been searching high and low for a speedo for my newly acquired machine. It is a 2002 700 sportsman. I FINALLY found one from a very gracious dealer in Wyoming and I had it shipped here this last week.

My question is, I store my atv outside (no other choice :disappointed but I do keep it covered with tarps, and the last thing I want is moisture getting inside this nice expensive tach I just got. We get a fair amount of rain and a even more than fair amount of snow here. Is there anything I can do to help keep this thing moisture free while storing it outside?

Also, I wouldn't think its very difficult to install, but just to make sure, does anyone have any pointers or advice before I jump in on it? Thanks guys!

Nobody has any advice on this at all?

Is it an aftermarket like one you would use in a car, or is it a oem replacement?

its a simple install....make sure you use di-electric grease on connectors...As far as keeping the speedo dry inside...there was a post here where someone drill a small drain hole ...but the speedo is suppose to have one some where on it...I guess its going to condensate in there no matter what...every one says there does....on the older ones any ways...I wonder if that stuff on TV seal it..would work..it comes in clear also...spray every thing but the lense..but you may trap water in also...mine gets foggy alot....till sun hits it....

eta- its a OEM replacement cluster. I couldn't find a aftermarket replacement. and the oem one wasn't cheap!
