Operation
Using Cruise Control
If equipped, the cruise control is located on the right handlebar. Make sure you read this sec-
tion and understand how to safely operate this feature before using the cruise control.
Cruise Type R: Verify which type of cruise control is installed on your
vehicle by checking for a label in the left saddlebag. If a "Cruise Type
R" label is affixed, additional operation information for your controls
is noted throughout the following pages as "Type R".
WARNING! Improper operation of cruise control could cause loss of control
and result in serious injury or death. Follow all cruise operation procedures
carefully. Never use cruise control when roads are wet or slippery. Do not use
cruise control when riding in heavy or congested traffic.
Cruise Control Tips
• Cruise control can be set in any gear.
• Vehicle speed must be above 25 MPH (40 km/h).
• Set speed will vary slightly in hilly terrain.
• The cruise control will not resume a pre-set speed if the resulting
acceleration or deceleration rate is too high or too low. For example,
resuming a set speed from 40 MPH (64 km/h) while in 6th gear may cause cruise to disengage.
• Cruise control will not engage if brake lights are not operating properly.
Set Speed
1. Press the cruise control ON switch. A red dot (power indi-
cator) at the center of the switch will illuminate to indicate
when cruise control can be engaged. (Type R: The cruise
control indicator lamp will illuminate whenever the ON or
OFF switch is pressed.)
2. Accelerate to the desired speed and press the SET switch.
The cruise control indicator lamp will illuminate. (Type R:
You must wait at least 3 seconds after turning cruise con-
trol on before pressing SET. This is a safety feature that
prevents cruise control from engaging if a button is stuck.
To continue using cruise control, turn the power off and
on. Wait 3 seconds before pressing SET.)
