Wondering if anyone's had a problem with the clock reset. Holding in clock button...no beep...therefore no hr/min adjustment. Wondering if it might be in the controller or in the wiring somewhere. The clock's running, just can't set the right time. Will just add or subtract if need be. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Mine is finicky. Takes a lot of pressure on the button. There might be some corrosion on the contacts. Try setting it with the radio on, then with it off.

Thanks for the suggestion. Tried it all, still not working. Might have to get under the fairing and check connections I guess. |

Thanks for the link. Looks like I'm going to have to chase it down somewhere in the wiring. Not much on electricals...we'll see where this ends up. Or....could be in the control unit...electrical problems...smh |

I'm curious if all the other radio functions work. If they do, it may not be a simple cable issue.
I've noticed if I don't ride my Interstate for a while the clock gets very hard to reset. That's why I suspect in my case corrosion builds up on that particular switch, as the button gets used so rarely.

Cycle the switches a LOT. Spray in a bit of contact cleaner. We are talkin I/S here right? RIDE SAFE.

Yep, same problem here occurs occasionally.
It's the switches on the handlebars.
They get crusty from non use.
I don't think gorilla force on them is a good option.
I sprayed them and started moving them all and eventually they all started to function again.
Everything's back to normal.
Praise Mother Honda.

Not WD40. Why? WD40 works and you don't have to worry about it attacking the plastic. I soak it with the red straw in one of the switch seam's opening. Work switch while squirting the WD40. Place a towel or rag to catch the overflow. |

Mine doesn't work if I push the button in all the way. But if I hold it just short of all the way, I'll get the beep and can set it. Maybe try that.

WD-40 is flammable and also doesn’t dry up. That will cause dirt to build up on where ever it is. Contact cleaners dry up like alcohol and won’t attract any dirt. I have used wd-40 on electrical items if I can wipe them down before use. The chance of fire is slim, but not taking any chances.

WD40 IS attacking certain plastics (like PS and PC), IS swelling some rubbers and has not even a little ingredient to clean any corroded copper/tin/silver contacts.
Read the WD40 safety sheet.

Tried that hoping it would work. No go. Will try some contact spray. Thanks |

Appreciate all the input guys. Sounds like it could be in the controller...hope so, don't want to go chasing wires. I've got WD40 but no contact cleaner, will chase some down and give it a go. Thanks

WD40 is a Water Displacement lubricant, that WILL dry up over time (try it on any squeaky door, and give it some time).
You can use it on the switch, to clean and loosen, I do it all the time. But I also have contact cleaner, and I use that after the switch is no longer dirty/binding, usually a while later, after the switch starts to give me trouble again (it's expensive).

Shot some contact cleaner in there and worked the switch really well and low and behold...it worked! So anybody having that problem...give it a shot. Thanks to all for the input.
