Worth checking it out. Hope you get it sorted soon.

As for the reseting of the clock and trip, that usualy happens if the voltage to the computer drops below 9 volts. I had this happen on my scoot on several cold mornings. The thing would hardly crank over, but when it did fire up... the clock had to be reset.
