Turn Cruise On
NOTE
Cruise control operates when:
- At least 10 seconds have lapsed since the engine was started.
- Vehicle speed is between 40–145 km/h (25–90 mph) in second or higher gear.
See Figure 1. Press the CRUISE switch to turn on cruise (1). When on, the cruise icon in the speedometer face glows amber.
Set Cruise Speed
See Figure 1. When the motorcycle reaches your intended speed, press the SET/- switch to set the cruise speed (2). The amber cruise icon changes to green and will display set speed.
If necessary, adjust the cruise speed to match the speed limit or traffic conditions:
Increase/Decrease Cruise
Tapping the RES/+ switch increases speed by 1.6 km/h (1 mph). Holding the switch down gradually increases cruise speed.
Tapping the SET/- switch decreases speed by 1.6 km/h (1 mph). Holding the switch down gradually decreases cruise speed.
Disengage Cruise
See Figure 1. To drop out of cruise speed, roll the throttle closed through the roll-off switch (3).
Cruise also disengages when the rider:
- Squeezes the front brake lever or presses the rear brake pedal.
- Squeezes the clutch lever.
- Rolls the throttle open more than 16 km/h (10 mph) above the set speed.
Resume Cruise
NOTE
If the current speed is more than 24 km/h (15 mph) below the cruise speed, cruise will not resume.
See Figure 1. If cruise has been disengaged yet the cruise indicator is amber, pressing the RES/+ switch resumes cruise (4). The icon glows green. The motorcycle automatically resumes cruise at the set speed.
