Is anyone else having problems with their radio not keeping time? What is the fix, if any?

Thanks
Matt

 

my 06 lost time...one of the radio downloads from the website corrected it...
havent had a problem on my '11..........yet...

 

how do you set the clock my time is always wrong

 

Plasteredcat, Sick softail first off. To set the time, push "on" to turn it off, then you'll see the set button.

 

To set the Time of Day, here is what the owners manual says:

-Set the time of day with the ignition/headlamp key switch turned to IGNITION or ACCESS but with the stereo receiver OFF.
-Press the Set soft key on the front panel to display the time setup menu
-To increase the hours in the display press the Hrs+ soft key. To decrease hours press the Hrs- soft key. When the hour is correct, release the soft key.
-In increase the minutes in the display press the Min+ soft key. To decrease minutes press the Min- soft key. When the minute is correct, release the soft key.

That came from page 93 of the Touring owners manual. I need to adjust mine. It's lost about 30 minutes in a years time. Hope this helps.

 

My new bike loses about 3 minutes every 10 days or so. It is annoying.

 

The setting it isn't the problem. The slowing of time is.

 

Would have answered this earlier but I was out resetting my clock!

 

I am guessing here, but the clock in the HK may be designed for 13.8 VDC or some other voltage close to this value to maintain it's time constant. If voltage falls below that which is required, then the clock slows. It's a real pain and quite frankly unacceptable that in this day and time HD chooses a stereo head that cannot do something as simple has keep the correct time.

 

+1 There are dollar store 3rd world toy watches that probably keep up better with the time.
