So I got dumped on last week,(first time and I found out it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be), and had to put the bike away wet.  I tried to dry it as much as possible but my grandma is sick and I had to drive an hour away to get to the hospital. 

I didn't get home until late on Sunday and finally go back on the bike today.  To my displeausre there is a small amount of condensation in my instrument cluster.  Has anyone had this happen and what should I do to fix it? I have it out in the sun now to dry it up and I am hoping it wasn't enough to mess up my cluster which I know is really expensive.  Hopefully it will dry up and not be a problem.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

I had that happen to me too.  Just left it a few days.  Goes quicker if you let it sit under the sun a while.  No problems with it yet.

+1, usually goes away after a few days, sun or a warm spot is good.

I keep my bikes underground and today I noticed on my 1098 R that there was some condensation under the gauge lens. I rode for 4 1/2 hours in the sun. It was a nice warm day here , 78 degrees and even cooler in the hills . The moisture is still there but just barely . It's at the top of the gauge in the RPM visual. I will try putting it in the sun tomorrow , only thing , it will be going back undergroud so I guess I'll just have to learn to shift by ear. I can see the speed number though.
