Default 2008 Ultra Clock

The clock on my 2008 Anniversary Ultra started losing time. About 15 minutes a week. Anyone else? Is there a programming fix for this?

Yup. The HK clock sucks. Maybe someday there will technology available that can keep close to accurate time. Like my Walmart $9 chinese alarm clock that I never have to set.

But then, maybe it's just a Harley thing and the clock just automatically rounds up to the next hour. Kinda like the clocks in the service department.

That's a countdown clock. Once it loses a set amount of time, you need to trade up to the new model year. HD programs them this way.

I lose a few minutes a week and just have to remember to reset it every now and then.
