Greetings, with a new 21 V85TT I'm trying to determine if I'm doing something incorrectly with the cruise control, or if it could be faulty? I understand the operation of activating and setting by pressing which functions fine, but toggling the control up/down doesn't seem to do anything; I've tried quick taps as well as long holds but no resume, and no incremental increase or decrease in speed. Or does the cruise not even have this feature?
OK this helps Huzo, the resume and incremental up/down speed button doesn't work on mine. I saw somewhere that after installing heated grips something might have to be done for the cruise control but in my case cruise activates and sets ok. Thank you for the tip to not force close the throttle to cancel cruise!Added: With 700 miles on it now it'll be going back for its initial service soon so I'll let the dealer sort it.
When you are using the cruise controle, the short presses up/down will register on the speedo (small speed indicator under the main speed indicator), so you can see your adjustment.
I was considering heated grips and during the discussion my dealer said that yes, a throttle re-calibration is needed. Not doing so could be the cause of your CC issues.
OK that's how it should work. Unfortunately pressing up/down on mine doesn't change speed or the cruise speed indicator number. Or resume speed after braking for instance. It's like the "press" function works on the switch but the "toggle up/down" does not. This reminds me though I need to call and schedule the 1,000 mile service!Yeah I wouldn't want to leave cc on but not set on this bike.
Are all V85's ride by wire?
Since I started this I thought I should update. I took mine in for the first service a few weeks ago and mentioned the issue with cruise not changing up and down nor resuming. They programed the throttle and it's worked fine since.
Its wonderful that you post your solution. I spoke to the dealer today and the front desk guy had not heard of this behavior yet. I will update once mine is resolved and maybe the dealers will start to calibrate/whatever the throttles as part of the ECU updates. Thank you
That's interesting, Brent. I wonder if having the computer ECM set to kilometers while the instruments are set to miles causes this? Obviously cruise works in all the rest of the countries where kilometers are the norm. Anyway glad it's working as it should now, it sure is nice to have.
For what it is worth (I have no solutions to provide yet), my 2021 V85TT is doing the same thing. Cruise control works, but can't be changed up or down by using the toggle like it did before. Yes, this feature did work before, but since I had the first service done recently at the dealer, I believe they re-flashed the ECU and now it doesn't work. Another odd thing that is happening since the service is that the check engine light rapidly flashes when I reach 5500 RPM every time, and then stays on until I shut the bike off. Upon restart, the check engine light is out, and will stay out until I hit 5500 RPM, and then stay on until the bike is shut down. I have no solutions yet, but suspect it has something to do with the re-flash that was done. I am hoping to get the bike back in very soon for them to check it out and will provide updates.
