l recently purchased a 17 R1200RT, all stock 6K miles, the only mod has been the Ilium bar back/risers. The bike is in perfect condition but l’m having issues with the multi function wheel.
I don’t have any problems scrolling up or down but clicking right to access the sub menu. It scrolles to time no problem but no matter how many times
I press right it will not bring up the time format for a time change.
I’ve removed the bar backs and the bars are in the stock position, no change.
This is my second 17 RT which l purchased new and l’m not doing anything different but getting poor results.
Could someone direct me from experience on a fix before l start throwing new parts at it? Thanks, Newbie to the forum.

It’s hit and miss, but never on the time adjustment.
I thought the last owner may have created a partial wire disconnect installing the bar backs, but I tried moving the wires while pressing right without any effect

Re: Multi function wheel/wonder wheel issues
Also, the RT has always been inside and low miles, doesn’t make sense it would be defective already. Is the a complete reset procedure other than battery disconnect?

Re: Multi function wheel/wonder wheel issues
My next question was are you in the settings to actually change the time? its in the vehicle settings menu
But with it being hit and miss I suspect you may need a new wonderwheel
