Is the Uly clock supposed to remember the time? Mine seems to reset to 3:00 every time I start the bike.

Uh oh, sounds like someone's got an electrical problem.

Yes, the clock should remember the time. Some people who have had electrical shorts in the wiring harness have had the clocks reset, but I think they usually reset to 12:00.

Unless you are good with a voltmeter, it may be time to visit your dealer.

Mine does it on startup only. Not when moving the forks, or hitting bumps. My odometers dont reset though. The odometers and clock share power, so I am guessing my clock is the culprit. It doesnt matter to me, I dont use the clock anyway.

If the odometers reset (trip 1 and 2) I would consider a wiring problem.

Mine was doing the same; replaced the battery and problem solved.

Could also be a loose ground connection.

I believe DaveS also said before that sometimes the bolts on the battery cables are just slightly too long and they don't fit super tight which make a weak battery charge. He suggests using a shorter bolt or trying to add a washer to make sure the cable is super tight to the battery. Not sure if that will help you.
