Anyone else experience this or have a solution? Bike runs normal. Clock just keeps resetting randomly.

I'd check if your button is stuck/shorting out or if your battery terminals are contacting properly. When you disconnect the battery clock resets. but that'd cause other issues with running so i'd check the buttons first, if it's a 2021 it should still have warranty from kawi so I'd take it to them either way.

It seems to be a loose battery connection. Take the cables off your battery, clean them well with a metal brush, and hook them back up. Something like this happened to me with a rented motorcycle when I was touring Europe. It was definitely an unforgettable experience. It was a good thing I was still in town, and I had the opportunity to approach a motorcycle service to help me. So before you venture into such an experience, read more about the country and the cities you are in. I use this riderly.com website with recommendations. On where to rent a bike about the prices, which is the safest city and so on.

Like Emma say's . Check the most obvious thing first . Battery , then solenoid , fuses . Grounds . In that order ....

The battery is probably on the way out. When you crank the engine, if voltage falls below a certain threshold, the clock would reset itself.

Does the trip meter also reset to zero? If so then your battery is going out or you have a loose connection.

I don't know about resetting, but sometimes the clock is a couple hours off. Went for a 3+ hour ride today and the whole time I thought nothing of it until I checked my phone and my TPS monitor. Both said 1pm, but the dash clock was like 2:45pm. It's happened to me a few times. The bikes a 2020 and not a year old yet. If it's the battery I already have a lithium I was gonna use in my Ninja 1000. I'll check the voltage on the dash and see what's up.

I've never had any odometer reset issue.

I also have a 2021 Ninja 650. She's got less than 7,000 miles on her. About a month ago, my clock just randomly reset itself. It's only happened that one time and it was just the clock that was affected. I checked the battery connections and all was secure and clean. This morning, when I went to start her, my battery was dead. When she came to life, the check engine light was on and stayed on all the way to work. I'm headed to my dealership tomorrow to find out what the heck is going on. I ride my bike almost every day and have had no other issues. Have you taken yours in for service? I'm sure that if there's an electrical issue, it will be covered under warranty. 🤞

Hell, yours is so new they should cover the battery at the very least. I ride daily so chances are if there's a drain somewhere I won't notice it for a long time.

Let me ask you all this...

Any electrical mods on your bikes? If so they'll not honor the warranty unless it's a factory mod like the 12V adaptor or heated grips. Even then they'll probably argue if you did the install instead of them.

If you have a 2020 or above I suggest on your dash that you monitor your voltage in your display. I believe you toggle the right button till it shows up. The left button is for the odometer functions.

We did install a USB plug into the accessory port in the dash. It has a voltage meter built in. Was at 13.7V when I arrived at work this am. Was at 11.9V at lunch time. Looks like we might be doing a manual start after work today. I have not added any mods like heated grips, but I have replaced my tail lights and turn signals with a tail tidy with sequential LED. That was in May of this year. I suppose that would be reason enough for them to not honor my warranty. I'll know tomorrow and will definitely update the forum when I do.

Interesting thread. So Kawasaki will void any warranty even with a LED turn signal mod? Or would it just be for electrical claims?

That's ANY manufacturer will not honor a warranty, in this case electrical. If you put on an aftermarket exhaust you've just voided the mechanical warranty. Much less adding a PC with the exhaust.

KimsHaven.... I've highly modded my bike. Full Hindle Megaphone exhaust, TST Industries LED integrated tail and turn signal with tail tidy. That required also buying their turn signal relay, which is adjustable, to eliminate hyperflash. Full ECU flash and removal of the O2 sensor and including the PAIRS block off.

Mine is WAY past warranty...lol.

I have the TST tail tidy too! I love the flashing brake light. It's nice to be more visible. I have not upgraded my exhaust system yet. It was my plan to replace after the summer season. I also want to replace the chain and rear sprocket. Blew a big chunk of cash on a cross-country trip last summer (including new tires), so I just need to financially recuperate for a minute.
Factory warranties are such crap, though. They find any excuse to void it.

 

[Wabbit1961]

The Hindle Megaphone exhaust was under $600. Just a tad above $600 because I also bought the silencer. You'll need that! Is as loud as a Harley without it and sound great with it. I've had Two Brothers, Leo Vince, Akropovic. Save your money. Hindle sounds so much better.

I got the ECU flash from 2WheelDynoWorks... $239. Mail it out. They're fast with returns. You can have it flashed for a stock setup. They have multiple muffler/exhaust choices and make for any configuration, like if all you did was the exhaust they would open it up for you. Very happy with them. Cost me like $9 USPS Priority. Got there in two days came back on the fifth day.

If you're into luggage, do NOT get the factory Givi tail bag setup! It stresses the frame. This is a Hepco Becker C-Bow side case system. Multiple variety of bag options. Around $500 including those bags. 18 liter per side so low profile. I also have the factory touring screen and this picture doesn't show it but I have OES frame and front wheel sliders now.

The seat cushion is great. $30 on Amazon. Rode 3.5 hours and no butt soreness.

The chain and rear sprocket I got from sport bike track gear (SBTG.COM). Driven racing sprockets... Steel not aluminum. They have sprocket with chain combo and you can pick a color for the chain. Very happy with that.

Just install back all the stock stuff before heading to the dealership.

 

[KimsHaven]

I thought of that, but I just don't have the time nor the inclination to re-wire the old turn signals. My bike is my primary method of transportation. She did start up after work. I was really surprised because the voltage meter read 11.9V and I wasn't feeling confident about it. Something did happen, though. It seemed like the left button on my TFT screen was stuck. This might be the cause of my problems. Stay tuned! @Antares, fingers crossed.

Nice! I've never seen those bags. I have SW Motech. They were super expensive, but really nice bags.

Thank you! What do you think of the TST integrated taillight? Any issues? Is easy to install and program?
