So I've owned and ridden just about every 250cc Qasar engined scoot in the greater Piaggio family and now I've finally got a Vespa GTS 250ie. I love it!

Anyways I had the pleasure of riding it through the rain this last week and some water seems to have gotten in the dash. Is this common? Should I be concerned?

Welcome to MV Jiminy.

A little fogging now and then can happen but that looks like a lot. It looks like one of the dash button rubbers isn't seated properly, maybe thats where the water is getting in?

You can upload photos directly to MV, much better than using photobucket.

Ok thanks for the welcome. I'll wait for the water to dry then place the rubber thing better.
