i don't think you are saving the kit in the right place. global menu is for utility stuff.. 
routing/midi etc. see the manual under "loading/saving a kit"

SAVING AND NAMING A KIT
1. Open the kit window.
2. Use the arrow keys to move to the "SAVE" icon. Press [ENTER/YES] to
open the KIT SAVE menu.
3. The screen presents a list of the kits stored in memory. Use the [UP] and
[DOWN] keys to choose from the 128 kit slots. Press [ENTER/YES] to
select the slot where you want to save your kit.
4. The next window appearing will allow you to name the kit. Use the LEVEL
encoder or the [UP] and [DOWN] keys to cycle through the letters. The
[LEFT] and [RIGHT] keys move the cursor backwards and forwards on
the line. Pressing the [FUNCTION] key gives access to the "high score"
selection method, in which you see all characters at the same time. Keep
the [FUNCTION] key held while navigating using the [CURSOR] keys.
Release the [FUNCTION] key, when you have located the letter of your
choice.
5. When the kit naming procedure is completed, press [ENTER/YES] to
save it.
6. If you want to exit without saving the kit, press [EXIT/NO].
