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.

Cam it, it'll run much stronger.

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.
