The owner's manual talks about how to set it on page 11.

The service manual says nothing about the clock. Page 200 of the manual shows access to the dash panel and one image shows wiring going to the clock. Maybe check the connections?
At what point does a hobby become an addiction? I'm uncertain, but after the twelfth scooter, it sorta feels like the latter...

Seriously...I've lost count...

Seven mopeds ...that's still manageable...

Are you trying to set the clock or does it not even display anything?

You're right, the HD200 is a beast of a scoot. I would still say it is the best under 200cc scoot in the US.

Let's say the clock works, but the time is off. An old manual I found online says:
Clock: (Set time in 24 hour mode)
“M” – mode bottom: Press the “M’ bottom, the clock order shows “Time mode”, “Hour setting mode”,
“Minute setting mode”, ”Second setting mode”. Final back to the “time mode”.
“S” – set bottom: At “Hour setting mode” or “Minute setting mode” or ”Second setting mode”. Press the
“S” bottom once, numerical can be increase. If keeping on pressing for 2 seconds
can accelerate the adjustment. Until to set free the bottom. (At “Second setting
mode”, the colon ”:” in the center will be flash for 1 seconds.
Hope that helps.

Check your fuses and connections first.

The clock on my 2009 HD-200 has never kept the correct time since the first day I bought it. BTW - it had 3 miles the day I got it. I don't even rely on it any more. It was too frustrating to keep on changing and updating every day.

That's so strange... you can buy $2 digital watches that work just fine. I didn't know it was even possible for a clock to NOT work right these days.

That's funny. The clock on my '06 was close until the battery died.

1. Put it on the center stand.
2. Put in the nozzle and point it, as far as you can, towards the top of the tank
3. Fill until shutoff. Slowly top off until you see gas in the neck.

That's how I did it. I could get 160 miles (200kms) out of a tank, unless I was running it hard.
