Clock on dash still not working....

[FINFAN3DP]

Anyone else have this issue? Everytime I start the bike it goes back to zero.

mine looses time horribly, but does not go back to zero

The actual clock should never register ZERO......well unless maybe it is set for a 24 hour display.

If you are indeed looking at the clock and not another number by mistake..............
Either it is broken or you are totally losing power at some point in time, which might be a loose connection somewhere or the battery going bad.

What do you mean by 'still' not working?

Interesting....

There are two clocks on the spyder.. one normal clock and the engine operating time clock (this one only shows hours and is the only thing constant even if you change the instrument panel) the only ones that reset to "0" , but you have to do it, are the trip meters. Could try a battery disconnect and re-connect so things start all over and if still a problem a call to BRP might help. I have never seen it only the fact they are not very accurate....:thumbup:

Buy a watch and strap it on the handlebar.

Hi Chupaca,

Thanks for posting. Where is the other clock supposed to be? The same place? Is there some trick to turning it on?

Thanks,

3227 Days and I will not worry about it either..... But until then, it would be nice to have a clock there.

Fin, Did you take this issue to your dealer and what did their tech say?

The time should be displayed in the top bar of your main center display, right next to the temperature.
But the characters are pretty small.

Have you read the owner's manual?

This is not something that can be "fixed".
Like most modern digital clocks, if it doesn't work the whole "chip" that runs the clock needs to be replaced.
In the case of a Spyder, that might mean a whole assembly.

IF yours is still under warranty, they should fix it.
No way they can claim that two hours a day is "normal".

If it is not under warranty and it has not always done that.......it might be an early sign that your battery is going bad.

I'm still wondering if the OP FinFan3DP has taken his clock issue back to his dealer?

 

[Highwayman2013]

Could be the trip elapsed time option.

I have a hammer that would fix this problem:joke::joke::joke:. I used this special hammer on older phones and computers and it works a treat.:joke::joke::joke:

 

[UtahPete]

This is my low-tech solution to the worthless dashboard clock

 

[Lew L]

Like Pete I have a simple analog clock( Formotion ) mounted on a dash rack I shamelessly copied from the JT style.

No hammer needed:joke::joke::joke:
