Question 18 EC300 Clock Issues

I set the time over and over again, but leaving it overnight it seems to freak out and lose time. Like HOURS not minutes. Any ideas? Not a huge issue but is kind of nice to look down and see when I need to head back down the hill without getting the phone out.

Looks like it's a standard cr2032 battery. Super simple to take the dash off, I ordered a few new batteries in hopes that was the problem.

That's what I would have suggested! Hopefully resolved.

With the old trail tech models I'd always pop a piece of something between the battery and cover as well, just to keep a little more pressure against the battery.

The new ones actually come that way, also with a rubber gasket to keep moisture out. I was pleasantly surprised. I was really happy at how easy it was to get off. I replaced the battery in my Beta dash and that was a huge battle.

Pretty standard battery. You can pick them up anywhere. Even Walmart! Lol

yup, fresh battery. Held time for 2 days. Now it's all screwed up again.. I really like the clock, but may just use the regular wrist watch like I do on my Beta.

What brand is the clock ? Just curious, as it means that it holds sensors up even when the engine is not running, may be a design flaw or not hooked up to the bike correctly ?? Worth looking at the wiring diagram if it matches what you have on the bike. Does it have an on/off button or feature ?

For my '14 bike, they came with a trial tech unit and it only comes on if you spin the front wheel or you start the engine. So this means the front wheel sensor (speed) is on always, but it's only a magnetic sensor witch doesn't draw much power if at all.

Rod Overstreet, a GasGas rep stated it was from TrailTech. I'm going to take it off again today and look to see if there are any other markings on it. Wiring is pretty basic. 1 wiring harness plugs into the back of it.

Yes, mine only turns on if you start the bike, or move the bike so the magnet gets detected, pretty standard dirt bike stuff.
