Just wondering if this is normal. On my 2012 NC I set my backlight level to #1 (dim) and next time I ride it resets to bright level 3. Should it stay on level1 or is it normal to have to set it each time? Thanks

The brightness setting should stay where you set it and not reset each start-up. I guess if the battery is deeply discharged but has enough current to start the bike, the voltage dip when cranking the starter motor MIGHT reset all the settings in the instrument pod. Just speculation from past experiences. Does the A & B trip odometers reset to zero as well?Just wondering if this is normal.

No, the trip meters don't reset. I just purchased the bike recently with 2100 miles on it with a new battery and keep it on a battery tender when sitting for more than a day. The back lighting will sometimes stay set for a day or two but usually will go back to bright on its own. Thanks for the reply, I'm not that concerned about it just curious.The brightness setting should stay where you set it and not reset each start-up.

Just wondering, do you have the engine running or just ignition on when you go to reset the trip? Mine will only reset with ignition on, engine off.I know there was a recall on the "combination meter" for 2014 NC's. Not sure if this applies to 2013.
If it makes you feel any better, the Trip A and B milage is impossible to reset on mine... drives my inner pedant crazy every time I fill up with gas!
