• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

How to view the clock??

FINFAN3DP, if it was a battery issue, you wouldn't have come out of the store and started the bike. The bikes won't start if they're too low to hold the clock settings.

Sounds logical but might not be true.
The starter takes a lot of CURRENT.
The rest of the electronics is voltage sensitive and may not like voltages below 11.
A weak battery might well run the starter......and drag the voltage down to around 10.....without you noticing anything unusual with the starting.
 
So i figured out how to set the clock, but cant figure out how to view it. The top right hand corner of the screen seems like the logical place, but this only shows how long the bike has been running. I am sure it is something simple i am overlooking
Take a look at a photo of my electronic display at the link below:

The time is displayed directly below the MPH indicator.

*** UPDATE *** Sorry - I didn't read all the posts before posting my reply. FINFAN3DP's Spyder doesn't have the electronic display.

Update!!!

UPDATE: Took it into the shop a few weeks ago, and they replaced the entire instrument cluster, clock now works as it should!! $50 deductible for BEST warranty.

Couple issues good and bad with replacing the cluster.

Good: Bike is brand new again, as the mileage went back to zero.

Bad: Getting new thing whereby you have to push the mode button to start the bike, which I never had to do before.
And does anyone know what this error thing on the bottom is? It goes away once the bike is on, so i'm guessing it's just a test?
You can't set the shock to a certain place and see where it is set, like on the old cluster.

the clock on my 17 is small, and I found it hard to see quickly when i was driving. It also does not keep time. It's gained 9 mins since april. I removed the gas and temp guages and replaced them with a clock on the left side and a volt meter on the right.
Pictures?

Here you go. it's been a couple years, and there have worked great. As you can see, the clock on the bike is now 30 mins fast, and I re-set it in Apr.

Did you mean to say SHOCK or Clock?
Did you buy this Spyder new or used? Not needing to press the MODE button is a "benefit" of having the ECU flashed. Did you have that done? If so they may have set the clock to run time during their setup. And now with a new dash cluster your dealer may have BUDed-up something that makes it display the "Caution Symbol". Does your Spyder still run like it did before being BUDed?
 
All fixed. The new dash cluster wasn't set right for the shock control. It is fixed now and working like it should. Clock works, shock works, and i don't have a watch tied to the handlebars. :)
