That's alright George.

I didn't even have a throttle lock on my bike when I went to Kali a few years ago.

No problem.

Hmm, Maybe $630 would be much better than having to buy an ugly red one to get a cruise control fix!

Switched from the 13 to the 14 mainly for the Candy red color and the increased cruise control speed was one of the best bonuses.

 

[Abercrombie FJR]

And if they did up the top setting speed for the cruise, would you really spend $630 just to get it?

Oh hell yes I would! An 80 MPH cruise control is borderline useless in the US west of the Rockies.

Totally useless on the slab in the plains states also.

Good point. I'd forgotten about that.

Well I wasn't able to find out anything, but then I am a low-level bottom feeder. All I was able to find out is that the ECU does indeed control the CC limit. It is a very technical question and one that will be very difficult to find anyone who can answer it correctly. Perhaps impossible in this country. That small change in part number could have infinite possibilities, as simple as a change in a supplying vendor.

My personal opinion, and it is opinion only, is that the updated part number won't change the CC limit. If they did that, it would make all the 2013 owner's manuals, service manuals, and any other documentation that describes the CC's operation inaccurate. I don't think they would do that.

So my question is why don't you '13 owners try sticking the ECU for the '14 A model into a '13? Part numbers are similar and as far as we as a forum know, there really aren't any differences between the '13 and '14 A models other than color, front fender color, and the CC limit. Heck, if there are any improvements to stuff like fuel injection mapping or anything else, you would get those benefits too. Just make sure it is the A model ECU you order and not the ES ECU which has a completely different part number and is a ****-ton more expensive!

And on the one parts website I checked on, the '14 A ECU was less expensive than the '13 A ECU. Go figure.

Yes, and it's only $532 on one site I have found...

I would like that site information please!!!!

My conversion calculator seems to be missing the ****-ton category. I have checked weight and currency. I am sure I would understand completely if someone was to send me a **** - ton of cash. Oh wait I have two kids in college at the same time for a six year period. I understand now. That is a ****-ton of tuition.

Carry on!
