Twice now I have parked the General for a few minutes, get in, started it up...and the clock is flashing 12:00

Anyone else having this problem?

yes I had that problem. Reflashed computer and all is well.

Mine has done it once, not long after I got it, but been a while ago. I've seen several others on here having the same problem.

Mines been doing this for awhile and also watch your fuel gauge it will more than likely
start reading incorrectly.
dealer got ahold of Polaris and they told dealer to re flash the computer they have a fix for this
after they re flashed mine the clock would not stay reset it would keep flashing 12.00
bull S***
after still complaining about this (gauge showed 1/2 tank one time when I filled it up it took 8.25 gallon)
they told me bring it back and Polaris hooked in to mine threw the dealers computer today
and got a call awhile ago and they said my cluster is bad and they will be replacing it.
I've been telling dealer about some of the post on this site that other riders have had this
trouble and after they got cluster replaced and trouble was fixed. but after 2 weeks and Polaris
going threw all there BS hope mine is taken care of.

Every time I tell the dealer that other people on the forum have the same answer the dealer says the Internet forum is full of jokers to put it nicely. I have a friend who is a certified bike mechanic he looks at my bike if there is a problem then I make the 3 hour round trip and tell the dealer to fix it here is my mechanics phone # if you have questions so far they have fixed everything under warranty. If they will not cover under warranty I take back to my friend and he is about 1/2 the price.

Well, reading all the responses...I'll keep and eye on mine and if it happens again...I'll use my warranty and take it back to the dealer...120 miles away.

So far, working fine...again.

I guess something for those looking to purchase...ask the dealer and his service manager about the forum, do they look at it? Use it for reference in problem solving? No? Well...maybe another dealer. That's what I did in purchasing the General. Nearly 100 miles further from the house...but people I talked to and have some respect for.

Sad ain't it?

Its at the dealer waiting on a new instrument cluster. At least the dealer is close, less than 10 miles away. Had it been 100 mile journey I might have let Polaris off the hook.

Mine still does it every now and then, but I've pretty well memorized the instructions for resetting it....so I just do it.

If I hear of a ECU reflash that the Dealer should do...I'll swing by and get mine done. Til then...not that hard and not that much of a PITA.

I had mine reflashed and it has reset the clock several times since then. It flashed 12:00 twice today. The flash did nothing for mine and it's well past warranty now so I guess I'll just have to where a watch.

I saw this post and thought! WOW I don't think I have looked at my clock. Ever. will have to make a point and look for it. :grin2:

 

[Trapper]

Mine did not flash for over a year then it started. I took it in last week so I will see if it lasts.

 

[kelhunts]

my clock was great for the first 6 months or so,now its a random thing.wont flash for a month or two,then 3 times in a week

I replaced my negative battery (and also positive, but neg was the problem) connector to a marine connector and the clock problem went away for good.
