2011 CVO Softail Convertible ­ Owner's Manual

Safety First

Safe Operating Rules

Motorcycles are different from other vehicles. They operate, steer, handle and brake differently. Unskilled or improper use could result in loss of control, death or serious injury. (00556c)

Take a rider training course.

Read Owner's Manual before riding, adding accessories or servicing.

Wear a helmet, eye protection and protective clothing.

Never tow a trailer.

Before operating your new motorcycle it is your responsibility to read and follow the operating and maintenance instructions in this manual, and follow these basic rules for your personal safety.

Know and respect the rules of the road (see Rules of the Road). Carefully read and familiarize yourself with the motorcycle safety information that is provided by your country or state. In the United States, read the RIDING TIPS booklet that is provided with your Owner's Manual, and read through the MOTORCYCLE HANDBOOK which is made available by your state.

Before starting engine, check for proper operation of brake, clutch, shifter, throttle controls, correct fuel and oil supply.

Harley­Davidson parts and accessories are designed for Harley­Davidson motorcycles. Using non­Harley­Davidson parts or accessories can adversely affect performance, stability or handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00001b)

Use only Harley­Davidson approved parts and accessories. Use of certain other manufacturer's performance parts will void your new motorcycle warranty. See your Harley­ Davidson dealer for details.

Stop the engine when refueling or servicing the fuel system. Do not smoke or allow open flame or sparks near gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could result in death or serious injury. (00002a)

When refueling your motorcycle, the following rules should be observed.

Refuel in a well ventilated area with the engine turned off. Remove fuel filler cap slowly.

Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks when refueling or servicing the fuel system. Do not fill fuel tank above the bottom of the filler neck insert.

Leave air space to allow for fuel expansion.

Do not store motorcycle with gasoline in tank within the home or garage where open flames, pilot lights, sparks or electric motors are present. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could result in death or serious injury. (00003a)

Engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. (00004f)

Do not run motorcycle in a closed garage or confined area. Inhaling motorcycle exhaust, which contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas, could result in death or serious injury. (00005a)

The jiffy stand locks when placed in the full forward (down) position with vehicle weight on it. If the jiffy stand is not in the full forward (down) position with vehicle weight on it, the vehicle can fall over which could result in death or serious injury. (00006a)

Be sure jiffy stand is fully retracted before riding. If jiffy stand is not fully retracted, it can contact the road surface causing a loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00007a)

A new motorcycle must be operated according to the special break­in procedure. See

Break­in Riding Rules.

Operate motorcycle only at moderate speed and out of traffic until you have become thoroughly familiar with its operation and handling characteristics under all conditions.

NOTE:

We recommend that you obtain information and formal training in the correct motorcycle riding technique. In the United States, the Motorcycle Safety Foundation® offers beginning and

advanced rider safety courses. Call 800­446­9227 for information.

Travel at speeds appropriate for road and conditions and never travel faster than posted speed limit. Excessive speed can cause loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00008a)

Do not exceed the legal speed limit or drive too fast for existing conditions. Always reduce speed when poor driving conditions exist. High speed increases the influence of any other condition affecting stability and increases the possibility of loss of control.

Pay strict attention to road surfaces and wind conditions. Any two wheeled vehicle may be subject to upsetting forces such as wind blasts from passing trucks, holes in the pavement, rough road surfaces, rider control error, etc. These forces may influence the handling characteristics of your motorcycle. If this happens, reduce speed and guide the motorcycle with a relaxed grip to a controlled condition. Do not brake abruptly or force the handlebar. This may aggravate an unstable condition.

Keep cargo weight concentrated close to the motorcycle and as low as possible to minimize the change in the motorcycle's center of gravity. Distribute weight evenly on both sides of the vehicle and do not load bulky items too far behind the rider or add weight to the handlebars or front forks. Do not exceed maximum specified load in each saddlebag.

NOTE:

New riders should gain experience under various conditions while driving at moderate speeds.

Operate your motorcycle defensively. Remember, a motorcycle does not afford the same protection as an automobile in an accident. One of the most common accident situations occurs when the driver of the other vehicle fails to see or recognize a motorcycle and turns left into the on­coming motorcyclist. Operate only with headlamp on.

Wear an approved helmet, clothing, and foot gear suited for motorcycle riding. Bright or light colors are best for greater visibility in traffic, especially at night. Avoid loose, flowing garments and scarves.

Avoid contact with exhaust system and wear protective clothing that completely covers legs while riding. Exhaust pipes and mufflers get very hot when engine is running and remain too hot to touch, even after engine is turned off. Failure to wear protective clothing could result in burns or other serious injury. (00009a)

When carrying passengers, it is your responsibility to instruct them on proper riding procedures. (See the RIDING TIPS booklet included in your Harley­Davidson Owner's Kit.)

Do not allow other individuals, under any circumstances, to operate your motorcycle unless you know they are experienced, licensed riders and are thoroughly familiar with the operation of your particular motorcycle.

Protect your motorcycle against theft. After parking your motorcycle, lock the steering head and remove the key from the motorcycle. Set security alarm if present.

Safe motorcycle operation requires alert mental judgment combined with a defensive driving

attitude. Do not allow fatigue, alcohol or drugs to endanger your safety or that of others. Vehicles equipped with a sound system should have the volume adjusted to a non­ distracting level before operating vehicle.

Maintain your motorcycle in proper operating condition in accordance with Regular Service Intervals: 2011 FLSTSE2. Particularly important to motorcycle stability is proper tire inflation pressure, tread condition, and proper adjustment of wheel bearings and steering head bearings.

Do not operate vehicle with forks locked. Locking the forks restricts the vehicle's turning ability, which could result in death or serious injury. (00035a)

Perform the service and maintenance operations as indicated in the regular service interval table. Lack of regular maintenance at the recommended intervals can affect the safe operation of your motorcycle, which could result in death or serious injury. (00010a)

Do not operate motorcycle with loose, worn or damaged steering or suspension systems. Contact a Harley­ Davidson dealer for repairs. Loose, worn or damaged steering or suspension components can adversely affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00011a)

Regularly inspect shock absorbers and front forks. Replace leaking, damaged or worn parts that can adversely affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00012a)

Use Harley­Davidson replacement fasteners. Aftermarket fasteners can adversely affect performance, which could result in death or serious injury. (00013a)

See your Harley­Davidson service manual for proper torque values.

Aftermarket fasteners may not have the specific property requirements to perform properly.

Be sure tires are properly inflated, balanced and have

adequate tread. Inspect your tires regularly and see a Harley­Davidson dealer for replacements. Riding with excessively worn, unbalanced or under­inflated tires can adversely affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00014a)

Replace punctured or damaged tires. In some cases, small punctures in the tread area may be repaired from within the demounted tire by a Harley­Davidson dealer. Speed should NOT exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) for the first 24 hours after repair, and the repaired tire should NEVER be used over 80 mph (130 km/h). Failure to follow this warning could result in death or serious injury. (00015a)

Do not exceed the motorcycle's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). Exceeding these weight ratings can affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00016e)

GVWR is the sum of the weight of the motorcycle, accessories, and the maximum weight of the rider, passenger and cargo that can be safely carried.

The GVWR is shown on the information plate, located on the frame steering head or the frame downtube.

GAWR is the maximum amount of weight that can be safely carried on each axle.

Do not tow a disabled motorcycle. Towing can adversely affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00017a)

Do not pull a trailer with a motorcycle. Pulling a trailer can cause tire overload, reduced braking efficiency and adversely affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00018b)

Direct contact of D.O.T. 4 brake fluid with eyes can cause irritation. Avoid eye contact. In case of eye contact flush with large amounts of water and get medical attention.

Swallowing large amounts of D.O.T. 4 brake fluid can cause digestive discomfort. If swallowed, obtain medical attention. Use in well ventilated area. KEEP OUT OF

REACH OF CHILDREN. (00240a)

Batteries, battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, and other chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. (00019e)

Do not open storage compartments while riding. Distractions while riding can lead to loss of control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00082a)

Consult a Harley­Davidson dealer regarding any questions or problems that occur in the operation of your motorcycle. Failure to do so can aggravate an initial problem, cause costly repairs, cause an accident and could result in death or serious injury. (00020a)

Be sure all equipment required by federal, state and local law is installed and in good operating condition.

Additional Safe Operating Rules

If ABS lamp remains on continuously, the ABS is not operating. The standard brake system is operational, but wheel lock up can occur. Contact a Harley­Davidson Dealer to have ABS repaired. A locked wheel will skid and can cause loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00361a)

ABS cannot prevent lockup of rear wheel due to engine braking. ABS will not aid in cornering or on loose/uneven surfaces. A locked wheel will skid and can cause loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00362a)

See Brake System: ABS­Equipped Models to properly operate motorcycles equipped with an Anti­lock Brake System (ABS).

Rules of the Road

Always sound your horn, actuate your turn signals, and exercise caution when passing other vehicles going in the same direction. Never try to pass another vehicle going in the same direction at street intersections, on curves, or when going up or down a hill.

At street intersections give the right­of­way. Do not presume you have the right­of­way, as the other driver may not know it is your turn.

Always signal when preparing to stop, turn or pass.

All traffic signs, including those used for the control of traffic at intersections, should be obeyed promptly. SLOW DOWN signs near schools and CAUTION signs at railroad crossings should always be observed and your actions governed accordingly.

When intending to turn, signal at least 100 ft 30.5 m before reaching the turning point. If turning across an intersection, move over to the centerline of the street (unless local rules require otherwise). Slow down when entering the intersection and turn carefully.

Never anticipate a traffic light. When a change is indicated from GO to STOP (or STOP to GO) in the traffic control systems at intersections, slow down and wait for the light to change. Never run through a yellow or red traffic light.

While turning either right or left, watch for pedestrians, animals, as well as vehicles.

Do not leave the curb or parking area without signaling. Be sure your way is clear to enter moving traffic. A moving line of traffic always has the right­of­way.

Be sure your license plate is installed in the position specified by law and is clearly visible at all times. Keep the plate clean.

Ride at a safe speed that is consistent with the type of highway you are on. Pay strict attention to whether the road is dry, oily, icy or wet.

Watch for debris such as leaves or loose gravel.

Weather and traffic conditions on the highway dictate adjusting your speed and driving habits accordingly.

Accessories and Cargo

Harley­Davidson Motor Company cannot test and make specific recommendations concerning every accessory or combination of accessories sold. Therefore, the rider must be responsible for safe operation of the motorcycle when installing accessories or carrying additional weight.

See the Accessory and Cargo section in your Owner's Manual. Improper loading of cargo or installation of accessories can affect motorcycle stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00021a)

Do not exceed the motorcycle's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). Exceeding these weight ratings can affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00016e)

GVWR is the sum of the weight of the motorcycle, accessories, and the maximum weight of the rider, passenger and cargo that can be safely carried.

GAWR is the maximum amount of weight that can be safely carried on each axle.

The GVWR and GAWR are shown on the information plate which is located on the frame

down tube in some destinations.

Do not pull a trailer with a motorcycle. Pulling a trailer can cause tire overload, reduced braking efficiency and adversely affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00018b)

Accessory and Cargo Guidelines

The following guidelines should be used when equipping a motorcycle, carrying passengers and/or cargo.

Travel at speeds appropriate for road and conditions and never travel faster than posted speed limit. Excessive speed can cause loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00008a)

Do not exceed the legal speed limit or drive too fast for existing conditions. Always reduce speed when poor driving conditions exist. High speed increases the influence of any other condition affecting stability and increases the possibility of loss of control.

Pay strict attention to road surfaces and wind conditions. Any two wheeled vehicle may be subject to upsetting forces such as wind blasts from passing trucks, holes in the pavement, rough road surfaces, rider control error, etc. These forces may influence the handling characteristics of your motorcycle. If this happens, reduce speed and guide the motorcycle with a relaxed grip to a controlled condition. Do not brake abruptly or force the handlebar. This may aggravate an unstable condition.

Keep cargo weight concentrated close to the motorcycle and as low as possible. This minimizes the change in the motorcycle's center of gravity.

Distribute weight evenly on both sides of the vehicle.

Do not load bulky items too far behind the rider or add weight to the handlebars or front forks.

Do not exceed maximum specified load in each saddlebag.

Luggage racks are designed for lightweight items. Do not overload racks.

Be sure cargo is secure and will not shift while riding and recheck the cargo periodically. Accessories that change the operator's riding position may increase reaction time and affect handling of the motorcycle.

Additional electrical equipment may overload the motorcycle's electrical system possibly resulting in electrical system and/or component failure.

The front and/or rear guard(s) can provide limited leg and cosmetic vehicle protection under unique circumstances. (Fall over while stopped, very slow speed slide.) It is not made or intended to provide protection from bodily injury in a collision with another vehicle or any other object.

(00022a)

Large surfaces such as fairings, windshields, back rests, and luggage racks can adversely affect handling. Only install genuine Harley­Davidson items designed specifically for your model motorcycle.

Harley­Davidson parts and accessories are designed for Harley­Davidson motorcycles. Using non­Harley­Davidson parts or accessories can adversely affect performance, stability or handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00001b)

Only Touring Harley­Davidson Motorcycles are suitable for sidecar use. Consult a Harley­Davidson dealer. Use of motorcycles other than Touring models with sidecars could result in death or serious injury. (00040a)

Noise Control System

Tampering

Owners are warned that removal or replacement of any noise control system component may be prohibited by law. This prohibition applies prior to vehicle sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser. Use of a vehicle on which noise control system components have been removed or rendered inoperative may also be prohibited by law.

Tire Data

See Tires for approved tires and recommended pressures.

Match tires, tubes, rim seals, air valves and caps to the correct wheel rim. Contact a Harley­Davidson dealer. Mismatching can result in damage to the tire bead, allow tire slippage on the rim or cause tire failure, which could result in death or serious injury. (00023b)

Use only Harley­Davidson approved tires. See a Harley­ Davidson dealer. Using non­approved tires can adversely affect stability, which could result in death or serious injury. (00024a)

Tubeless tires are used on all Harley­Davidson cast and disc wheels.

Tire sizes are molded on the tire sidewall.

Harley­Davidson front and rear tires are not the same. Interchanging front and rear tires can cause tire failure, which could result in death or serious injury. (00026a)

Do not inflate tire beyond maximum pressure as specified on sidewall. Over inflated tires can blow out, which could result in death or serious injury. (00027a)

Harley­Davidson tires are equipped with wear bars that run horizontally across the tread. When wear bars become visible and only 1/32 in. (0.8 mm) tread depth remains, replace tire immediately. Using a worn tire can adversely affect stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. Use only Harley­Davidson approved replacement tires. (00090b)

Gasoline Blends

Your motorcycle was designed to get the best performance and efficiency using unleaded gasoline. Most gasoline is blended with alcohol and/or ether to create oxygenated blends. The type and amount of alcohol or ether added to the fuel is important.

Do not use gasoline that contains methanol. Doing so can result in fuel system component failure, engine damage and/or equipment malfunction. (00148a)

Gasoline containing METHYL TERTIARY BUTYL ETHER (MTBE): Gasoline/MTBE blends are a mixture of gasoline and as much as 15% MTBE. Gasoline/MTBE blends can be used in your motorcycle.

ETHANOL is a mixture of 10% ethanol (Grain alcohol) and 90% unleaded gasoline. Gasoline/ethanol blends can be used in your motorcycle if the ethanol content does not exceed 10%.

REFORMULATED OR OXYGENATED GASOLINES (RFG): Reformulated gasoline is a term used to describe gasoline blends that are specifically designed to burn cleaner than other types of gasoline, leaving fewer tailpipe emissions. They are also formulated to evaporate less when you are filling your tank. Reformulated gasolines use additives to oxygenate the gas. Your motorcycle will run normally using this type of gas and Harley­ Davidson recommends you use it when possible, as an aid to cleaner air in our environment.

Do not use race gas or octane boosters. Use of these fuels will damage the fuel system.

Some gasoline blends might adversely affect the starting, driveability or fuel efficiency of the motorcycle. If any of these problems are experienced, try a different brand of gasoline or gasoline with a higher octane blend.

Fuel

Always use a good quality unleaded gasoline. Octane ratings are usually found on the pump.

Refer to Octane Ratings.

Avoid spills. Slowly remove filler cap. Do not fill above bottom of filler neck insert, leaving air space for fuel expansion. Secure filler cap after refueling. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could result in death or serious injury. (00028a)

Use care when refueling. Pressurized air in fuel tank can force gasoline to escape through filler tube. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could result in death or serious injury. (00029a)

Modern service station pumps dispense a high flow of gasoline into a motorcycle fuel tank making air entrapment and pressurization a possibility.

Octane Ratings

SPECIFICATION

Pump Octane (R+M)/2

RATING

Catalytic Converter

The motorcycle is equipped with catalytic converters.

Do not operate catalytic converter­equipped vehicle with engine misfire. If you operate the vehicle under this condition, the exhaust will become abnormally hot, which can cause vehicle damage, including emission control loss. (00149c)

Use only unleaded fuel in catalytic converter­equipped motorcycles. Using leaded fuel will damage the emission control system. (00150b)

Controls and Indicators

General: Controls and Indicators

Electronic Throttle Control (ETC)

The motorcycle is equipped with Electronic Throttle Control (ETC). Instead of using a mechanical cable connection to the throttle body, this technology uses redundant grip sensors to indicate rider requested throttle position to the Electronic Control Module (ECM). The ECM then regulates proper fuel/air intake and ignition timing based on the rider request. The grip sensor is manufactured with internal cams and spring retainer for natural feel and operation.

ETC operation is designed for rider safety and continued motorcycle operation, even in the event of a component failure. The Electronic Control Module monitors the status of the grip sensors, throttle plate actuation and airflow. If any problems are detected, the motorcycle will disable cruise control, illuminate the engine check lamp, and revert to one of the following fallback modes.

ETC Limited Performance Mode

The rider will experience near­normal operation. The motorcycle will operate with provisions to guard against unintended acceleration.

ETC Power Management Mode

The throttle plate actuator returns to an "idle detent" or "limp­home" position, which will provide enough torque to achieve speed of about 25 mph 40 kph . The motorcycle's response to grip sensor input is significantly reduced.

ETC Forced Idle Mode

The throttle plate actuator is forced to a "fast idle" position, which will provide enough torque to

crawl, but not enough torque to operate at traffic speeds.

ETC Forced Shutdown Mode

The engine is forced to shut down.

Turn Signal Switch Operation

The turn signal switches are used by the turn signal module to control turn signal operation based on vehicle speed, vehicle acceleration and turn completion.

Momentarily press the desired turn signal switch. The turn signal lamps will begin and continue flashing until they are manually or automatically cancelled. As long as the motorcycle is stationary, the signals will flash.

NOTES:

If you are signaling to turn in one direction and you press the switch for the opposite turn signal, the first signal is cancelled and the opposite side begins flashing.

If you want to stop the lamps from flashing, briefly press the turn signal switch a second time. The turn signal lamps will stop flashing.

If a turn signal indicator is flashing at a high rate, a turn signal bulb is not operating. Exercise caution and use hand signals. Replace defective bulbs immediately.

Instrument Lamps

Engine Check Lamp

See Speedometer. The engine check lamp is located inside the instrument cluster. Its purpose is to indicate whether or not the engine/engine management system is operating normally. The engine lamp color is amber.

The engine lamp normally comes on when the ignition is first turned on and remains on for approximately 4 seconds, as the engine management system runs a series of self­diagnostics.

If the engine lamp comes on at any other time, see a Harley­Davidson dealer.

Low Fuel Lamp

Solid: See Speedometer. The amber low fuel warning lamp illuminates when the gasoline in the tank reaches the low fuel level (approximate). Refer to Capacities.

Flashing: If the low fuel lamp flashes continuously or remains lit after filling the fuel tank, see a Harley­Davidson dealer.

Sixth Gear Lamp

See Speedometer. The sixth gear lamp indicates when the transmission is in sixth gear.

Battery Discharge Lamp

See Speedometer. The battery lamp indicates either overcharging or undercharging of the battery. Refer to Battery: General.

Security System Lamp

See Speedometer. The security system lamp will illuminate when the security system is armed. Refer to Harley­Davidson Smart Security System.

If the security system lamp remains lit after the security system is disarmed, see a Harley­ Davidson dealer.

ABS Lamp

Flashing: See Speedometer. The amber ABS indicator lamp flashes when the OFF/RUN switch is set to RUN to indicate that the system is operational. It continues to flash until motorcycle speed exceeds 3 mph 5 km/h .

Solid: Continuous illumination of the lamp indicates a malfunctioning ABS system. The ABS is disabled and the brakes are operating as if they were non­ABS brakes. See a Harley­Davidson dealer for service.

If ABS lamp remains on continuously, the ABS is not operating. The standard brake system is operational, but wheel lock up can occur. Contact a Harley­Davidson Dealer to have ABS repaired. A locked wheel will skid and can cause loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00361a)

Indicator Lamps

See Indicator Lamps (Typical). Five indicator lamps are provided.

The left and right green TURN indicators, located on the ends of the indicator bar, flash when a turn signal is activated. When the 4­way hazard flashers are operating, both turn indicators will flash simultaneously.

The blue BEAM indicator lamp, when lit, signals high beam headlamp operation. The green NEUTRAL lamp, when lit, signals the transmission is in neutral gear.

The red OIL indicator lamp, when lit, signals that oil is not circulating through the engine.

NOTE:

The OIL indicator lamp will glow when the ignition is turned on prior to starting engine. With engine running, lamp should be off when engine speed is above idle.

Several other circumstances that could cause the red oil indicator lamp to signal, include the following:

If the oil pressure indicator lamp does not go off at speeds above idling, it is usually because of an empty oil tank or diluted oil.

In freezing weather the oil feed may clog with ice and sludge, preventing oil circulation. A grounded oil signal switch wire.

A faulty signal switch.

A damaged or improperly installed check valve. Trouble with the pump.

If the oil pressure indicator lamp remains lit, always check the oil supply first. If the oil supply is normal and the lamp is still lit, stop the engine at once and do not ride further until the trouble is located and the necessary repairs are made. Failure to do so may result in engine damage. (00157a)

Cruise Control Operation

Theory of Operation

The cruise control is designed to be safely operated with minimum movement by the rider and all rider control actions are natural and easy.

NOTES:

The rider always over­rides and controls the system.

The system will not work at vehicle speeds below 30 mph 48 km/h or above 90 mph 145

km/h .

The system is managed by the ECM. The tachometer provides information to disengage the system if the engine RPM suddenly increases.

Besides the ECM, the system has other components: a stepper­motor (controlled by the computer) which operates the throttle during CRUISE operation, and several internal switches, all sending information to the computer.

The system will allow rider to increase speed 10 mph 16 km/h or more (depending on how hard the rider rolls on the throttle and the condition of the vehicle) over the SET point before deactivating. This feature allows the rider to momentarily increase speed, if necessary. Rolling on the throttle to greatly increase speed may deactivate the system.

Engaging Cruise Control

1.See Speedometer. Push the CRUISE switch to activate cruise control. The orange icon on the cruise gauge face will light when activated.

2.With the motorcycle traveling at the desired cruise speed of 30­90 mph 48­145 km/h , momentarily push the RESUME/SET switch on the right handlebar to SET. After a delay of about 1­1/2 seconds, the icon will turn green on the face of the gauge to indicate the selected cruising speed is locked in.

Disengaging Cruise Control

The cruise control automatically disengages whenever the cruise control module receives one of the following inputs:

1.Front and/or rear brake is applied.

2.Throttle is rolled back or closed, thereby actuating roll­off (disengage) switch.

3.Motorcycle clutch is disengaged (module senses too great an increase in RPM).

4.Vehicle speed is out of the operating range.

NOTE:

Rolling on the throttle more than 10 mph 16 km/h above the set speed may also deactivate the cruise control.

When the cruise is disengaged, the green cruise engaged icon on the face of the gauge changes to orange. The orange cruise control system icon remains ON until the main switch is turned off.

However, should you decide to SET a cruise speed, RESUME last set speed, ACCELERATE or DECELERATE, simply press the RESUME/SET switch.

Resuming Cruise Speed

If the system is deactivated using one of the methods described under DEACTIVATING CRUISE CONTROL, the system is still ON should you decide to RESUME the set speed. To accomplish this, simply press the RESUME/SET switch to RESUME.

NOTE:

The computer will hold the SET speed in memory for the RESUME function. If the vehicle speed drops more than 15 mph 24 km/h below the SET speed, speed can no longer be RESUMED. If cruise operation is still desired, press the RESUME/SET switch to SET to reset the cruise speed.

Accelerating Above Cruise Speed

1.With the cruise speed set, momentarily press the RESUME/SET switch to RESUME to increase the speed by 1 mph 1.6 km/h .

2.Pressing and holding the RESUME/SET switch at RESUME will cause the system to continue to increase speed in increments of approximately 1 mph 1.6 km/h until the switch is released. There is a delay of about 2 seconds before the speed increases.

Decelerating Cruise Control

1.With the cruise speed set, momentarily press the RESUME/SET switch to SET to reduce the speed by 1 mph 1.6 kph .

2.Pressing and holding the RESUME/SET switch at SET will cause the system to continue to reduce speed in increments of approximately 1 mph 1.6 kph until the switch is released. There is a delay of about 2 seconds before the speed decreases.

Deactivating Cruise Control

Push the CRUISE switch to turn off cruise control. The orange icon in the gauge is extinguished to indicate the system is OFF.

NOTES:

System will NOT work if:

Rider operates at vehicle speeds below 30 mph 48 km/h or above 90 mph 145 km/h . Brake lamps are on constantly. See dealer.

Installing non­specified tires or gearing may affect cruise control operation.

Gear Shift Lever
