2004 Dashboard Resetting

When the bike is off, no key in the ignition, you can see the clock and the outline of other parts of the LED dash. At random times, the trip meter and the clock will reset. Judging by the time on the clock, I parked my bike at 8 am, went to get on it at 5 pm and it had reset at about 10 am. It's like the battery is dying randomly.
All recalls have been done including the wiring harness.
Any ideas?


Thanks

 

I had similar symptoms when my RR was on the blink. I fear that this may be your issue also.

 

RR?
I fear that I may not know what that stands for.

 

Rectifier/(voltage) Regulator. It converts the AC voltage from the alternator to DC.

here's what i have found. The power supply to the clock uses these little slide clip leads like what you see inside your computer--cheesy cheap sliding electrical contacts that vibrate, stretch and become loose over time and mileage. You can replace the contacts for a temporary fix, or just solder them and fix it forever.

A sliding electrical contact will eventually become a problem no matter where it is used, and should be avoided whenever possible, especially for critical applications.

 

That makes sense.
I'll take a look.

Thanks!
