Clock doesn't keep time
The warranty on my wife's 2008 Spyder is nearly over, so I was trying to think of anything that should be taken care of. The clock has always been terrible at keeping time. It gets off by about 5-10 minutes each month. Is this a common problem to Spyders or should I try to get it fixed under warranty?
Thanks,

Same here, mines an 08 too. Been that way since new.
But I'm Retired so i don't care if the clock is off ,when i get there i get there.

Mine has never in its 1.5 years kept accurate time, and its not a low battery in my case.

The clock on my 08 SM5 is always wrong as well...BUT...at least it GAINS time, so I'm never late because of it!

They all seem to do it. Reset it once in a while, and all will be right. It is not a big deal.

Have not heard of any slow clock Spyders. All seem to be fast. I reset when it gets more than 10 minutes fast. Must be the US/CAN time exchange rate.

When they build consoles with a new lot of crystals then they may all run slow

have never set mine since new so i don't know if it works or not. I would have to guess no because the time is not right.

Sorry to hijack this thread..

I hear you loud and clear! I do believe it is Yuengling time!

I also found that the digital speedometer is faster than the stick one...however, whenever the bike is serviced (and an update is done), they zero out for a while again...then, with time, they differ by a few mph.
The zumo also shows slower than the digital...
