Title: Battery or time display dropping out
Post by: Mrg on Sunday, 24 September 2017, 06:41 PM
Hi guys has anyone come along this problem,
New battery fitted and charged all ok , but for some strange reason I set my display clock after the battery was fitted and after about a week not so warm morning I went to start the bike and noticed the time had tripped of so I've had to reset it again  :confused1: any help would be great. Cheers  :onya:

I have had that twice:

1St one: battery daft
2nd: the set or select button had shorted due to water ingress.  This could happen due to the fact my cockpit was damaged.

Most times, when starting the 14 with a daft battery,  the needles do a full sweep due to the low battery voltage.

Hth

Full sweep only happens after just turning the key.
