    HTH = "How The Hell" do you set the clock on this bike? I feel like it should be the easiest thing to do and yet as an IT professional I cannot seem to figure it out...

    It was bad enough that the Oil fill cap totally confused me when it had no dipstick... I finally noticed the cool window on the side... :redface:

    Can somebody clue this 6th gen noob in?

    It involves a lot of holding the button down and waiting, then going past the time you were trying to set, starting again, cursing, throwing something, holding the button down some more....

    Its all in holding both buttons then playing with the right console button.

    Dont feel bad. When I first rode the VFR, I couldnt figure out how to turn off the damn blinkers. Took a bit to figure out that the toggle switch pushes IN too. durh.

    The clock is set to start at 1:00am, every time the battery is disconected. So... just before that time unplug and plug back the battery. :biggrin:

    If it is any consolation I have to look at the manual every time and I have reset it a couple of time already. Neverlos T summed it up very well.
