I fixed all of my clocks this morning and then I started my Spyder... :(

[racoon]

BRP did not do clocks well. My ‘16 F3-L required constant adjustment

So of course I had to go check.
And I expected the clock to be off by an hour, you know DST and all.

And what I found was that the clock was off by 1 hour and 11 minutes, at least according to my cell phone.

So either the tech prepping the bike for sale set the time wrong, or in the 8 months that I've owned the bike it's lost 11 minutes.

The good news is that because of DST I'll have to go in and adjust the clock twice a year anyways. :dontknow:

It hasn't lost 11 minutes, it has gained 11 minutes. Clock always gains time.

Not a battery problem around those 2007-18? years, Raccoon. BRP did not do clocks well. My ‘16 F3-L required constant adjustment

Doesn't the Spyder gets its clock info from the phone?

What if you don't use a phone?

I have that problem, too.

Did your Spyder come "with" a phone?

Of course not. But if you have a smart phone why not pair it with your Spyder and have this feature enabled?

What if you don't use a phone?

Hmmm, that's a toughie. What ever could you possibly do? ray:

I guess you'll just have to do without an accurate clock, eh?

Your phone has nothing to do with the Spyder clock. Connected or not.
