Question for the group. Anyone pick up the cruise control module and do install themselves?
The install is simple enough but then the instructions indicate an ECM reflash is needed BEFORE firing up the bike.
I am happy to support my local dealer when buying parts, but I'd rather do easy mechanical work myself. However, getting the bike to the shop afterwards for reprogramming without riding it there is a challenge.
Just curious if the instructions are over cautious or if the bike won't otherwise be safe to ride. I don't expect the cruise function to work until reprogram, but is there another issue to be wary of?
ECM reflash is needed, but you can do the level and module install yourself. Have to peel back the tank and undo clutch cable, remove hand grip and then the stock module. Then button it all up. Was a good little project. Saved the labor as the dealer is going to charge me $129 cdn for the reflash.
Got the reprogram completed. Cruise works like a charm! Also got a chance to sit on the bobber fitted with apes and statement seat. Like the bars, seat looks great but not so comfy.
I did 650 miles in the past two days---can't wait to get my cruise control installed. The only bad part of the ride was how cramped my right hand kept getting.
I had the dealer do mine. He charged me 150 USD to install the Heated Grips, Cruise control, and Fox Shock. Took him all of 60 minutes to do all three. Recently rode the Bobber from Palm Springs, CA to Crater Lake in Oregon about a 2k mile round trip. The heated grips and cruise control were a God sent.
That's a great deal! We get hosed here in Canada. No competition for any dealer specific work. ie reprogramming.
