Default SG Clock Issues

Hey Everyone,

Have a '10 SG and it seems like I am always resetting the clock. Every couple of months I noticed it is like 5 or 6 minutes off. Does anyone know what the issue is or how to fix it.

I ride every day so I dont think its from lack of firing the bike up.

Thanks,

Bugspit

Have the same thing with my '11 SG. I just quit looking at it. A clock on a bike is about as useful as that Air Temperature guage they wasted our money on.

My Limited is the same way. Loses about 8 minutes a month. I checked the HD site and the radio has the latest software so there are no updates to install. Like said previously, stopped looking at it. Just ride till I stop.........................

I feel cheated... My Limited's clock is only off a minute or two per month.

My 09 SG does the same thing. Maybe by riding fast we pass thru some kind of vortex and go back in time..........

Same here. No quartz movement in the HK head unit... A few minutes here and there. Could be worse.

Did make me late for work once... On my way in and decided to take a slightly longer route because I thought I had more time. Suddenly, the top-of-the-hour news came on while I was 3 or 4 minutes away...

All things considered, the one in my car isn't much better. Kenwood. The crappy AIWA that was in there before only got tweaked for DST and back. Solid.

I had to double check to see if this was in the B/S section. And I can't believe it's not!!! WAAAAA, there is this thing called a manual that tells you how to set the time, I suggest you read it and then once a week or two check it and set it appropriately.

Had that problem with the Suzuki C50, and have that problem with my Jeep. Haven't noticed with the SG - but I usually only need a ball-park figure for time anyway. Plus, I think they set it when I had the 5k service, and I had to reset it when I blew the main fuse.

I see the internet bully is out already this morning.....

My 2010 SG's clock has never kept accurate time. I have set it and reset it, no fix. Loses about 15 mins and THEN begins to keep time but just always 15 minutes behind.
So every day I ride I check both the clock and the temperature gauage.....not!!!

It's in the touring section, because most touring bikes have radios with clocks in them. So the question belongs here.


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



Oh, wait..................
