The sensitivity of the switch is adjustable. The bottom of the box may be opened by releasing the two catches
next to the wire entry hole. Beside the wire connection plug on the circuit board there is a black plastic
‘jumper’ block. This is a bridging connector to allow the two pins to be connected. This may be connected or
disconnected from its pins to tailor the way the switch responds. Bridging the pins decreases the switches
sensitivity. This may be appropriate on fast revving sports engines. Disconnecting the pins increases the
sensitivity. This is appropriate on slower revving touring engines. Try both settings to see what is suitable for
your engine.
•
The switch is supplied on the most sensitive setting with the jumper disconnected. The jumper is installed
on one pin. The jumper may be removed, using a pair of long nose pliers, and then re-installed on both pins
to decrease the sensitivity of the switch.
•
If you cannot get the cruise to work at higher speeds jumper the pins to decrease sensitivity. If the switch
takes too long to work, disconnect the pins to increase sensitivity.
•
This completes the adjustment procedure.
13. TROUBLE SHOOTING, TESTING AND SELF-DIAGNOSTICS
See the attachment for detailed instructions.
WARNING: The computer, switch block and other components are water resistant - NOT
WATERPROOF. When washing the bike avoid spraying or pouring water directly onto
any component. It is recommended the switch be covered during washing.
The staff at MotorCycle Setup hope you enjoy using your new cruise control and use it wisely and safely.
Remember that cruise controls are not a licence to concentrate less while riding. We recommend you approach
all other road users with greater care when using the cruise control and use substantially larger safety margins
when riding in traffic. Its use in built-up areas is not recommended.
You will probably find using the cruise control a bit disconcerting at first until you get used to the throttle
moving under your hand and the slight ‘hunting’ (acceleration and deceleration) of the bike downhill. It is not
possible to eliminate the latter effect as the computer continuously attempts to balance its set speed with the
road speed.
NOTE: Practice turning the cruise control off quickly so that you will be ready for any emergency.
Experience suggests touching the footbrake is the best and quickest way to turn the cruise control off.
If by chance you are not holding the right handlebar when you need to make an emergency stop, the first
reaction is to grab the front brake and clutch. In doing so, you may inadvertently hold the throttle open
depending on how much throttle the cruise control had applied at the time. If this happened the engine
revs would rapidly rise because the clutch was disengaged. You may think the cruise control is
malfunctioning. Release your grip on the throttle and the bike should return to idle. The best way to
avoid this occurrence is to practice rolling the throttle off whenever you use the front brake.
