Easy question

How do I set my clock on my 04 cbr 600 rr. I've tried pushing the buttons and nothing happens. There are only two buttons am I doing something wrong?

On the 1kRR ya just hold down the right button til it starts blinking on the hour. Right button changes time - left button goes to the next setting (minutes, MPH, temp, etc). Just turn the bike off after you got what ya want then turn it back on and it'll be set.

you press the left button and hold it until the clock flashes, press the right button to move from hour to minutes

Humm that think called the manual.....that helps sometimes. LOL

who likes to read... just press buttons until something happens, wait a minute........ we're reading right now. dammit, someone tricked us into doing something good for ourselves.

On my '03 you have to hold the right and left buttons down until the number starts flashing!

Do you know what RTFM stands for?


READ THE FRICKIN' MANUAL!

I also have to hold both buttons down on my 05 600RR. I learned how to do that by Reading TFM.

So what have we learned boys and girls? Everyone's bike is different isn't it? But they all have something in common don't they?
THEY ALL HAVE A FRIKKIN MANUAL

LOL...i have a manual...and if you don't, i just want to know: IS IT STOLEN? anywho, i have the '04 600 and you DO hold both buttons and than you should be able to figure it out from there. Now, at this point if you can't figure it out just give the guy his bike back.

and they even have a smiley for it.

If any one would come across a manual on e-bay or something let me no. I never got a manual or a tool kit with my 04 600RR.

go to http://www.stephygee.com/ look at the bottom left and click on the 03-04 CBR600RR. That will give you the shop manual for it, you have to order the owners manual from Honda for $16.

I looked in the manual and did what it said to do but nothing happened . I think one or both of the buttons is broken.

Do the buttons work to reset the trip odometers?

I don't understand this. My tool kit is in the space on my bike that is made for it. I've used it once already to adjust my chain when I was out riding. My owners manual is under my seat just incase I need to referance it when I am out riding like I did when I adjusted my chain. Did you ask the seller where these items where when you bought the bike? How in the world could they be lost? How many owners did your bike have before you bought it?

2 owner of the bike he could not find them. Why he didn't leave them in the bike where they should be I don't no.

You should take the owner’s manual out... if you ride in all types of weather. The area under the seat is not water resistant at all. I take my tool kit out often and coat everything with WD40 to help keep the tools from rusting. My owner’s manual is here right beside my monitor.

I have the owner’s manual and my registration under my seat in a zip lock baggie so it will stay dry. It is a good suggestion about wiping down the tools with a light coat of oil. I will start to do that too.

I'm too lazy to retype a thread I started on another forum, so I'll quote the thread here:

I'll start with a story of the series of events that led to me repairing my gauge cluster buttons...

After washing my bike, I was drying it with a towel and rubbed across the gauge cluster buttons and fond I pulled the rubber buttons out of the setting. Well I pushed them back in and discovered I broke the buttons; it looked like a piece was missing from the inner region where the button pushes down. No big deal, I can live without that...the clock was still adjusted right, except I couldn't set it any more so it was an hour off since "fall back."

I read a thread a long time ago that a few other people had that same thing happen and the dealer had to replace the whole gauge cluster, because of the faulty design. Well, I didn't want to have to do without my bike for such a lame reason, so I've been riding with it "broke" for over a year now.

Today I decided to take a closer look at my button dilemma and I found a white plastic piece lying inside the button holes. I reached in with hemostats, tried piercing it with a pin and I couldn't grab it no matter how hard I tried. Being as persistent as I am I decided to feel under the cluster and felt screws..."that must mean it comes apart," I thought "unless it's glued together." So there I am removing the front fairing, unplugging the wiring harness and removing the cluster from the mount. Well I'll be damned if that bitch doesn't come apart and I placed the plastic piece back where it belongs and I now have a bona fide, fully functional gauge cluster!!!

I only share this discovery in hopes that it will help someone else with a button dilemma...

Only bad news was I had to fix it again because the plastic piece fell off again, so I used crazy glue the last time...it's been good ever since!

damn, fretless, I didn't know you were a surgeon... I mean, why else would you have hemostats....

LOL! Back in the day, hemostats may have been used for that implied use; however, I'm a nurse and have access to those tools

I assumed the likes.... I probably still have some around here. From my previous life working EMS, they do make good IV clamps, the plastic scissors break too easy.

...i have some too...um...not for anything illegal or anything...i just...nevermind.

and the dark side of us has come to light....
I too have visited the dark side, but it's ok. I took a flash light.

due to my job in the entertainment industry as a teamster...LOL...yes a teamster. I had to give up that way of the force, due to testing issues. for the record i am not fat at all and i don't like doghnuts that much. Oh, and i only joined the teamsters to be able to drive a truck in the art department(dressing sets is my real job). I LOVE the fact that i feel i have to defend myself for being a teamster. HAHA.
