It's finally happened..... Just replaced the original battery after 8 years and 55,000kms so needed to reset the time.
It's always been a bit fiddley but has gone into reset function within a dozen or so presses.
Not this time, I've given up. :frustrated:
WTF do you do now?
I asked a very similar Q http://gsx1400owners.org/forum_test/index.php?topic=567.0
I know how. I've done it several times between EST and EST bit and both buttons work separately to toggle through trips and ODO and reset to zero bit wont respond reset clock when pressed together. Doesn't matter where I put my tongue.............. NO JOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just suggested a possible solution in the thread linked above by Vlad
The manual say to push both buttons together, hold them down for a few seconds until the minute indicator starts to blink, adjust by pushing the reset button. That's what the handbooks says anyway Ross.

Well, worst case scenario, they won't reset. So at 11.58, disconnect your battery. Reconnect it again at 12.00 & you're sweet. No button pressing required.
My pleasure.
Mike, you could do the same.

:boogie: feeling a bit pissed off with the clock on my bike. I purchased a secondhand GSX 1400 last Nov and have just now done an oil change and thought I would have a go at setting the clock back an hour, did the usual, press both buttons together to get the digits flashing like I did on the vstrom and burgman I had previously, but nothing happened. The previous owner cant find the manual, so I though I would register on this forum for support on this magic motorcycle.... :clapping:

First - you can download an owners manual from the Downloads section on here (look to the left a few on the bar where you hit "logout"
Second - regards the clock. pesky thing. Sometimes you find rather than press both at once, you need to press one of the buttons a fraction after the other. Can take a few goes, but will work eventually
i would never own another bike without a clock. can remember on others trying to get a look at watch, was a dangerous exercise.

You have to press and hold both down for a few seconds before it starts to flash.
:hat: Thanks blokes, just went back after tea and had anther go at it, all good on my third attempt, I switched ignition off and on and on the third time min were flashing ready to reset :worshippy:
Left button momentarily before the right works for me.
It's not just the buttons - you have to hold your tongue the right way and ensure you don't blink at the wrong time and ensure the bike is at least 50 metres away from any ginger cat....
I found mine wouldn't come up flashing no matter what I did, found the posts behind the rubber buttons wasn't quite in line and not quite pushing on the pub.
Re- alighted and hey presto :boogie:
Simple way to tell the time Ross........
If its light its ride time !! :stir:

Realigned how?
Go for the 12.00 set Mike, less hassle.
hehe also the time I'm most likely to be busy doing other stuff.
I used to set the clock for winter then summer time but leave it on summer time, Ive also noticed that it does change in its own good time, make sure your not wearing gloves and try pressing hard if dont work press soft.
