No problems with the fuse have pulled each one all ok,clock is working ok with the engine off key out etc its just when I go to start the bike the clock resets but not all the time,plus the belt squeal when ever I start the bike!
Belt slip.
The alternator belt is slipping and not charging the battery properly. The beelt MUST be adjusted and then all your problems will cease. The added load of starting means very low volts to clock so adjust your belt now before you get stuck somewhere. Mr Steptoe has avery good sticky on how to carry out this adjustment on this site.

Your belt deffo needs ajusting' but don't forget to recharge the battery "on or off the bike" before hitting the starter again cause if your clock is resetting as you try and start it must be quite low on charge now.
Thanks dave sounds spot on will do that this afternoon and let you know the out come
