Just picked up a 2008 Stelvio, it has had new display/clocks fitted to it, do these fail regularly, I have heard some people drill vent holes in the bottom of Guzzi digital displays to stop moisture build up, not sure on that one, anybody any ideas.

https://www.guzzitech.com/forum/216/1892 The included word document gives instructions for a Breva dash, but using a similar procedure on the stelvio should work. Drilling isn't a good idea, but using a grind wheel on a dremel is.
Spokes
Tuned and Synch'ed
I personally think that water enters through a failure of the seal and quality of the plastic casing and not through condensation as such, although the water stood inside the clocks will vaporise and condense on the lens.
Ideally, prevention of water ingress is the best option I think, by reinforcing the lens seal with silicone or such. The damage to the clock board (if any) is side stand lean side.
The reason for slots vs. holes is to help prevent the drill bit hitting and damaging the circuit board.
When I removed my Breva clocks with the aid of the excellent document described above, I did decided to disassemble the clock further. I found that the circuit board had corrosion which I cleaned.
Removing the clocks from the assembly allowed me to drill holes safely.
You just need to find the location of the fascia screws and decided if it's worth trying to remove them with needle in place. I punched through the fascia. A bit of a rebel. Possibly could have used wax or silicone to blank off holes (light bleed). But ended up leaving them.
I reassembled the clocks with silicon as the case plastic had failed with cracks all over.
New clocks might not need drilling but may like some silicone support.
I also think I'd prefer a bunged drain pipe (like air box drain) attached to an araldite nipple from the drain holes just to see if water is still entering and possibly causing a problem.
Or better quality clocks
