Just ridden over 1,000 miles over Pyrenees but have a few minor issues.

1. Clock resets to "00.00" everytime I switch the ignition on and off. It then adds the minutes correctly whilst I ride.
2 . The indicators no longer work.
3. No power to the power output plug.
4. ABS lights flashing.

Bike starts and runs fine with fully charged battery. I've checked the fuses and all seem OK.
Help?
 
Clock reset could be a number of things

Loss of power to the clock -

Interuption to the live feed
Failing capactor in the cluster

(it depends if the clock is powered by a capacitor or the battery )

Given you have other issues , i would suspect a broken wire somewhere

A project for over winter ?
 
For the Clock, loss of indicators and no power to the Socket.

I would look at fuse 3.

Sometimes a fuse can look OK, but I have found on some of the cheaper fuses that they can get a hair line crack.
 
Many thanks for the above replies and messages. Stripped everything down, replaced the fuses, cleaned everything and now all good. :)

It did get a bit of a hammering off road in the Pyrenees last week and was dropped once on each side. Tons of grit and dust under tank.

I'll completely strip it all down over winter as it deserves some tlc.

Thanks again.
