And to think that I was happy that the BMW clock is the only one I don't have to change to get 24-hour time.

All my bricks have 12 hour clocks.  It's part of the instrument cluster work I do the first winter after I get a new bike.  Includes an LED retrofit, speedo calibration, and a deoxit spray of all the connector pins  I also do a mask of the Low Fuel and High Beam indicators to smaller dots so they don't blind me at night.

Cool; although, the only place I've lived that it would matter is Alaska, where 1100 and 2300 are pretty much identical in summer. :)

When I bought mine,I had a cheap digital watch strapped to the handlebars,as the clock dosnt work. Don't know why...any ideas?

Doesn't keep time, or the numbers disappeared?

Hello again.
The clock never worked when I got the bike. No numbers.

The clock module LCD display is pretty fragile, in fact, the gear position indicator isn't too rugged either.  If you take the cluster apart, you need to show those two parts respect.

As TMG points out, the LCD modules on these bikes are old and fragile.  There is a conductive foam used to connect the LCD module to the clock module. This foam deteriorates and can loose contact with the LCD, resulting in no display.  It's pretty much impossible to replace this component and this renders the clock module useless.  Another symptom from these old displays is the liquid within the LCD bursts and causes the display to fail.  The symptom is a display that is completely obscured.  The display is custom for BMW and there is no equivalent replacement available on the market.

Ok. I’ll just have to go with the old digital watch. To be honest,I have a clock on my phone.
