Yes, don't live anywhere cold and damp.
It doesn't seem to be a problem, many lights do it as does the SV as the lights aren't sealed.

It actually says in the owners manual with my bike (not an SV), that condensation may appear on the glass and that turning the lights on will get rid of it!

This my not help at all but...
When I changed my headlight bulb (in the rain  ) in my wife's car, I got some moisture in the headlamp. It later showed up as condensation. I fixed it by taking the headlamp bulb out after a run, and the engine was nice'n'warm... it dried out the lamp and the problem disapeared. I reckon if you put you bike in a warm(ish) garage and remove the bulb, leave it for a while, you may solve your prob. Good luck! |
