northwest florida | OK, silly question time....does the cruise control only work in 6th gear? I test rode a Vision several weeks ago. the cruise worked great at 70 mph or greater, but I didn't try it at 45 or 50mph. I would think it would lug the motor at 45mph in 6th gear. |

Puyallup, Washington | Mine works in any gear starting at about 25 mph. I was surprised that it would engage at such a slow speed. |

New Bohemia, VA | buddahead - 2008-04-07 4:01 AM Mine works fine at 100... :^) Yeah, but what gear? |

Jacksonville Florida | Section 19.19 states that the cruise can be activated between 25-95 mph in any gear. Everyone one should have one of the service manuals. |

New Bohemia, VA | buddahead - 2008-04-07 4:01 AM Mine works fine at 100... :^) I see another recall, cruise control works above the stated 95mph. I'll have to check mine to see if I need to take it to the dealer. |

Harrisburg, PA | This the first bike with I have owned with Cruise control. I have tried but not real comfortable using it... Yet. It just feels unsafe to me. I drive an tractor trailer across the country every week and don't use the cruise in it either. I tried a throttle lock once on my other vics and hated it. |

Regina Saskatchewan Canada | I had a throttle lock on my last bike but only used it for short periods to give my hand a rest or if needed do something. I suspect I will use the Cruise control much the same way and only on straight roads or freeways. I can't imagine anyone trying to use it in the twisties! |
