Ok. I knew it was fly by wire on the throttle but actually didn’t picture the cruise control keeping the throttle tube in an open position. I thought it would just snap back and the throttle bodies would open and operate via the bike’s ecm.
Seeing that the throttle tube remains in an open position even if released, it makes sense why the instructions read that way and how the throttle can be used to cancel it.
I really want it now.
It would seem that there's a little confusion here. :smile2:
There is nothing in the throttle grip housing on the handlebar that would hold your throttle grip tube in an open position. After activating the CC, the spring inside will move the grip tube forward to it's idle position when you release the pressure on the grip. You can then sit back, relax both hands, and enjoy the ride.
To de-activate the CC you have to
physically turn the throttle forward, it will then also return back to the idle position. The brakes and clutch will also, of course, de-activate the CC.
Small servo motors control the position of the butterfly valves in the throttle bodies, to hold the chosen speed.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!
