Clock doesn't keep time

[bwbarnes]

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,

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! :thumbup:

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

:agree: It is clock drift and once in a while I reset mine also ( RS 2010 SM5 ), not a big deal and I suspect this type of clock drift is not specific to Can-Am BRP Spyders, but to many other powersports machines. No worries.


Mine does not drift that much.

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.:dontknow:

Well you have to push the button so many times to get there it aint worth it anyway!! :roflblack: I just keep some kind of golf watch or something handy so I can check time quickly IF I need to, which when I'm on the bike riding is exactly... NEVER!! hyea:

I never have to worry about it as I always have to re-set it after it comes out of the shop for whatever the warranty issue of the month is. :gaah::joke:

Be careful Tom, you wouldn't want to jinx yourself now. :shocked:

The clock also resets when you unplug the console.

Believe me, I know!
Crossing my finger and toes, throwing salt over my shoulder,
ray: that my :spyder: behaves, and hopefully when I get to Tenn. there *might* be a competent tech to check out the "check transmission" issues I'm having (more often than not) with my paddle shifter.:doorag:

Sorry to hijack this thread..
...anyone know what time it is?:joke:

:agree:

I reset mine twice a year (daylight savings time). Other than that, I don't look at it much.
