clocks memory won't keep - stainless - 19-09-16
ok, was a member of this forum, not cannot get back into my old login due to forgetting the password and changing emails addresses
anyway
I have a 2001 600 FZS Fazer S which has ODE, Trip 1, Trip 2 and clock.
ODE always work, currently at 39450 (owned her since 25k) but the trips will always reset to Zero and the clock will always read 1:00 and then begin to work as you use the bike.
Decided to take teh clock apart today as wondered if it had a battery in here to keep power but did not locate one so at a loss to where to look.
Cheers
Stainless

The clocks on later models have a permanent live feed from the battery for the clock and trip memories. I guess there's a separate fuse for it which would be worth checking

I've never got mine to work properly before so just didn't bother with it.

I thought now was a better time then any to find out why it wasn't working.

I did everything the manual suggested, but as you say once you turn the key back on it resets?

There's a back up fuse in the fuse box under the seat.
Have a look at it as I'm fairly sure it's this that has blown.

There is a fuse for the live feed. If it hasn't blown then there is a section of the wiring loom on the LHS of the frame that is wrapped in a plastic sleeve with a self adhesive seam down the side which could be your problem.
This sleeve has several spliced joints in the cables inside it, and on my bike water had got inside the sleeve and the splice in the live feed to the clocks had corroded through. I cleaned the wires and soldered the joint back together.

But was this done because it wasn't working at all, or not holding the setting when the engine is switched off?
Re: clocks memory won't keep - Grib - 05-10-16
Not holding the setting when the ignition was switched off. it was the red/green permanent live to the clocks that had parted company where it is spliced in.
