I've read that when the radio become separated from the system that the odometer will display a clock. I don't recall any details... Google time

There have been rumors of the mysterious odometer clock for years but no known documented cases. They are highly sought after and very desirable. Please post a photo of the time displayed on the odometer. The offers will begin to come in, don't accept the first offer - hold out for top dollar ans be firm. The dealer will deny this is a defect and offer you a free replacement while wanting to keep the "defective" unit to be "returned for inspection", Don't trust them someone will try to \take it from you.

No idea what happened to it.

Did you do anything to the bike?
Any other symptoms?

BTW, RTFM!

There are several functions on the speedometer:
Odometer
Trip odometers A and B
12 or 24 hour clock (if radio not installed)
Fuel range function

If the system does not detect an “Advanced Audio System” (IE. the HD HK radio or something similar,) the digital readout will display a clock.

Mine showed the clock when I pulled the fuse for the radio.

Just press the button to display the odometer, then figure out why the radio isn’t being recognized.
