I keep my clock ten minutes fast so I only have to screw with it once a year, unless it's leap year of course.

Either that or we're all crazy and we just think we aren't. Either way, you're not alone.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one with a slow clock. I may have to try the update. But I have gotten used to not looking at my clock because its always slow.

I think you might be on to something there... probably has something to do with the amount of time you spend riding at 88mph. =P

I heard all the guys with black bikes claim their clocks run fast.

I had the same problem with my '02 Ultra and now have it with the '10 Limited. I usually am using my iPod through the auxiliary port and just assumed that was causing the clock to lose time. I was sure it did it on the '02 and just don't pay much attention to the clock anymore. I just use it as an excuse when I am late coming back from a ride.

Easy fix. Buy you a $5.00 watch at Wally World, take the band off then cut the shoulders off with a Dremel tool that held the band on . Next get some Velcro and out some on the back of the watch then the other Velcro on the useless air temp gauge. There you have it a clock you can see and depend on too. I have had the same watch on three different bikes.

This is very disappointing and useful info. The nature of a lot of my riding activities require that I have exact times in many cases. On my Sporty I have what is basically a HD watch mounted on the turn signal. It is ALWAYS accurate.

This seems to be a common problem. I guess I will get the little clamp on clock, and just forget the over priced clock in the Stereo system.

I can't tell from the pictures of your bike.... but, where is the clock ?



Oh, wait..................
Built into my speedometer/odometer, DUH!!!! And mine keeps pretty accurate time at that!
