Default Bad Harley clock?

Just wondering if I have a bad clock in my factory radio. I set it last week and it is already 10 minutes behind. My street glide is still new it's a 2012. Wanted to get some feedback and see if others are having similar experiences with their clocks.

btw I live down south so I ride year round and I normally ride 3 to 4 times a week and when I am not riding it is on a battery tender.

The clock on my '11 never matches, and even after I set it to the correct time, within a short period it's behind again. I think it's fairly common.

Thx for the replies figured as much but wanted to check here before I said something to my local dealer. Won't bother will upgrade the radio at a later time.

There is an update to the firmware of the HK radio. You could try that, it helped mine.

Mine was slow, but not that slow. Then after I applied the firmware update, it got a lot better. It's still a tad slow, but I am talking 2 or 3 minutes per month now. I can live with that.

I've never noticed, but that might say more about me than the clock.
