LCD SPEEDOMETER VIRTUALLY UNREADABLE IN DAYLIGHT UNLESS THE SUN IS ILLUMINATING THE FACE OF THE GAUGE. HEADING TOWARD THE SUN, THE SHADOW THROWN ON THE FACE OF THE GAUGE MAKES THE SPEED READ-OUT UNDECIPHERABLE. THE ENTIRE GAUGE FACE APPEARS UNIFORMLY BLACK. UNDER UNIFORM ILLUMINATION, OR WHEN THE SUN IS AT THE RIDER'S BACK, THE GAUGE IS READABLE. DOES NOT MATTER IF VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR NOT, OR WHETHER IN THE CITY OR ON THE HIGHWAY, IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE AMOUNT OF OUTSIDE ILLUMINATION. AT NIGHT THE BACK-LIGHTING OF THE GAUGE IS SUFFICIENT TO MAKE THE READOUT CLEARLY VISIBLE BUT UNDER BRIGHT DAYLIGHT CONDITIONS, SHADOWS OBSCURE THE GAUGE.
