Bob, perhaps you should verify this is the cause of the problem before continuing. See if the cruise works by grounding the purple wire. Be extremely careful here without the brake cancel safety feature!!!! The system is designed to ground thru the brake light bulbs in order to operate, and...

Hello everyone, Inlaw1, if you're still dropping 3-5 mph and speed recovery is slow even after trying different vacuum sources, you may have a vacuum leak or a bad servo unit. On most automotive cruise systems with vacuum operated servo units such as this one, they typically use a set of...

FJRocket, I used the Canon Power Shot S500. Which is your typical stardard point and shoot camera, not pro at all. The close ups were done in macro mode and all default settings, including auto flash. I think it was the camera that produced the nice pics because I don't have much camera...

No doubt, Jestal is full of knowledge and generous with his contribution to this community. My intention for the write-up is to share and assist, for anyone who wishes to tackle this cruise install and to save them some R&D time. The experience and methods I’ve posted worked flawlessly for...

Jestal, Thank you for the input and suggestions. I too, was concerned about the 1 ½” X 6” pipe, and the extra intake volume that would be behind the throttle plate when I was thinking about this particular section of my cruise install. I’m also aware that the standard practice is to use one or...

That is a good question and I'm glad you brought it to my attention to clarify. I actually used a total of 3 nuts on the throttle pulley tang bolt. Nut #1 is to secure bolt onto tang after drilling, nuts #2 and #3 was locked together by tightening to each other after installing eyelet connector...

Thank you all for the compliments. This forum was a great find for me. I'm amazed at the wealth of information contributed by this community, it has helped me with my project. Just spreading the wealth. Gordon

Tach signal: I didn’t want to cut into the ignition coil primary wire so I made an adaptor harness by soldering a female and a male terminals with shrink tubing insulation. I didn’t want to chance the bike running on two cylinders if this wire were to fail. The factory grey with red tracer...

Hello fellow FJR owners, It was suggested that I should post my documented Audiovox Cruise Control installation on my 06’ FJR1300A under its own thread. I’ve had some requests to post the highlights and areas of interests of my install. You will see below that some areas have deviated from...

Cruise install continued The factory grey with red tracer wire is connected to the male terminal and the female terminal is connected to the coil. No cutting or modifications done to factory wiring. Now you can secure and tie down wiring. Brake/tail light wiring: The purple wire from the...

Hello fellow FJR owners, I’ve had some requests to post the highlights and areas of interests of my install. You will see below that some areas have deviated from previous installs. I’ve made some changes to streamline and or to minimize modification to the factory stuff. I hope this will help...

I paid $89.95 at amazon.com. The price as of this morning is $84.61 for the kit. You will need additional parts such as a vacuum canister and control panel bracket (which I made myself) and a button head allen bolt or a low profile bolt for the throttle pulley in order to clear the factory...

Had a chance to go for a test drive this past weekend after I installed my Audiovox CC. Thank you Smitty for the great tech tips, You saved me a lot of R & D time. This is one of the greatest upgrade for the FJR. It is everything you expect from a cruise control, all the functions from setting...
