Default f4i 2001 dashboard problem

Hi guys!
First I want to apologize in advance if you don't understand very well what I say but english is not my mother language.
I already used the search engine but didn't find anything.
The problem is very weird. Every time after I shut down the engine the kilometers from tripA and tripB + the time clock get restarted.
I'm posting a video so you can see what exactly the problem is. It's not such a big deal but it really bothers me. Hopefully there's no need to change the whole dashboard (too pricey) but I really don't want to ride like that anymore! Everytime I have to remember the kilometers on the big clock to find out what is the fuel consumption + I don't know what the time is (sometimes I need to know that).
If someone else had that problem before and knows how to help - PLEASE do it!
Here's the video -

Your cluster is losing the constant power for the memory. Use a test light an check for key off power. If that's not missing at the back of the cluster, the unit itself may be bad.

Thank you Demon !
Also I forgot to tell that sometimes (it's very rare) if I use the red button to shut down the engine the dashboard is fine. The time clock stays on the display and when I start the bike the kilometers are memorized. This happen 1 or two times and after that is the same so I back of using the key. After couple of weeks or a month I do the same process and the story repeats.
Could the problem be in the red button/switch ?
