Happened to me before as well. Mine was a loose connection on the battery terminal... hope this helps
So my bike (04 12R) has had this problem since I got it. Every once in awhile the trip and clock will reset when I try to start it. I've been through 3 batteries and still the same thing. I just replaced the starter and battery, and it happened again. Anyone have a clue? Loose connection or is the dash going bad?

Mine has been doing it as well except mine reset's like it is out of gas also and the low fuel trip comes on also!!
Pull off your battery connections and Frame grounds and sand all connectors and connection points, lightly apply dielectric grease to everything. See if it helps.
to steven. my 04 firebolt did exactly the same thing and occasionally the relay would even click like battery dead. cleaning the ground strap under airbox and all other battery connections solved it. the clock resetting was really annoying and did it all the time. steven's advice was dead spot on.
The battery terminals have been cleaned, and I checked the ground connection to the frame (didn't sand them though... I'll do that). I'll check out the engine ground strap under the air box. Thanks for the suggestions guys.
there's a ton more knowledge on this site than i possess about XB's but a common ailment seems to be grounds and connections or lack thereof. keep working on those grounds and the battery connections/terminals and i think you'll find the problem solved.
I find that keeping my 07 firebolt on a trickle charger when not riding it cured my problem with this,I also check for loose connections anyway just in case.:)
Clock resetting is power being cut.
Check connections, if good then check wires.
Doubt it can be the battery, it has to be pretty dead to reset the clock.
Three batteries in that time? Do you take a lot of short rides, less than half an hour?
my clock has been resetting also. annoying as hell. i was gonna check connections this wkend, i'll let you guys know if it helps.
