ESSENTIAL INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS
Cruise Control Switch
-
• The Cruise Control automates the function of the throttle to
maintain your motorcycle at a constant speed. This can be
a convenience on long trips, but it can also be a danger if
there are any other vehicles on the road or if the road is un-
familiar. Pay strict attention to the responsibility of riding
whenever using the Cruise Control.
The Cruise Control system allows you to set and automatically
maintain any speed between 48 and 130 km/h (30 and 80
mph) in 4th and OD. As its name implies, it is meant for cruising
on straight, uncongested highways or freeways. It is not
recommended to be used in traffic, on winding roads or in bad
weather conditions where the rider should have total control of
the throttle.
To Set the Cruise Control:
Push the CRUISE CONTROL master switch: the indicator light
will come on. Accelerate to the desired speed, then push the
SET switch. The Cruise Control set light on the instrument
panel will come on. The speed you were going when you
released the SET switch is the speed the Cruise Control will
hold. You can then "fine tune" the set speed by briefly pushing
and releasing the SET/DECEL switch to decrease it or pushing
and releasing the RESUME/ACCEL switch to slightly increase
it.
NOTE:
• A quick "tap" on either the SET/DECEL or RESUME/ACCEL
SWITCH may change your speed by only approximately 1.6
km/h. (1 mph).
