Audiovox Cruise Control-Problem Solved?

[ionbeam]

I dunno, but mine just kicks in when I hit set, just like a car...

Mine is close. But apparently not as sensitive as yours; after all mine IS the Prunieville version

If there is engagement delay on flat roads it is almost always excess slack in the AVCC actuator cable & bead chain. There should be as little slack as possible without impeding with the throttle from returning to the idle-stop position.

Excellent tip - thank-you. Next time I go in I'll check it. Wouldn't you know I just did a TBS & plugs last weekend!

I would agree.... Goldwings had a terrible lag, mine included, and the cure was to adjust the cables. They were adjustable, but it took someone to dig into it and get the word out.

I'm partially through the install, but will recheck the slack and perhaps lube the cable. I also shortened the blue wire and tapped in at the ECU.

That's what it was with mine. Adjusted the cable to take up most of the slack, and it engaged right away.

I have follow the cc instalation for some time now and want to thank all involved in making it work. my buddy who owns an st1300 and i decided on one day to hot to ride to dive into it. we decided that we did not need a reserve vac source is for vw and harleys. I did the under the seat install followed everthing from here to the T. It took a total of 6hrs start to finish.Set the cc with 1-4-7 on and like others worked ok on flat but kicked off on hills,went back turnen 7 to off and have gone prob 3000 mi since works perfect.I read all my speeds off gps and on freeways varies 1 mph is all,on a big hill maybe 3mph then comes back to speed and stays there.I live in Oregon City Oregon and love my cc, i use it everywhere thanks to all

After weeks of head bashing my cruise now works!!!! Thanks for all the great posts. My servo is under the right fairing with canister under seat. I used all four ports for vacuum with check valves. I left the blue wire at factory length and attached to gray/red wire at coil. The magic was switching DP #7 to OFF. Steady speed +/- 1 mph up and down hills.

my GPS ram ball mount is the one that bolts to the front of the clutch clamp with the clamp's two bolts

other choices are to use the hole in the clutch clamp where a mirror might screw in on another bike

or a stem mount which replaces the big nut in the top, middle of the triple clamps between the vertical of the handlebars
