Audiovox CCS100 Max Speed

[Jack D]

I am looking over everything before installing a CCS100. It looks like if the cable is attached to the tang that contacts the idle speed screw there will be a limited amount of throttle opening. So I am asking you CCS100 users what speeds have you been able to set the cruise control to. If I can't get a minimum of 85 mph I don't think I will install it. I am also wondering where you placed the canister/actuator on a Gen II ABS. I don't like the location over the swing arm if I have to remove the canister to do a tire change.

I set mine at 110mph once to see if it would. It did and it held it just as it should. I put the servo under the seat. Used one of those rubber straps to secure it. It works great...

I put the actuator under the seat and it works well. I took the metal bracket off and it fit well. It is not anchored, just sits there. I did my throttle cable different and I can cruise at over 100 if I want (for trial purposes only) and it works great. If you wanted to pm me a phone # I will go into more detail. Kevin

I have a CCS100 I am going to install too. Has anyone done a writeup on installing on a Gen1 bike?

You shouldn't have a problem.

This pic shows where I attached my actuator cable to the tang:

The pic below shows the throttle fully open. The actuator's ball chain is slack because I was testing for any snagging, but you can see the actuator could pull the tang into this position.



Not sure I fancy the CC pulling full throttle, however.

FWIW my installation write-up here.

oldyamaguy, PM has been sent.

I am also concerned that if the idle speed tang is used that a broken cable, broken chain or unhooked chain could go between the tang and the idle screw not allowing the bike to slow down.

These were a help to me when I put mine in my Gen I. https://www.fjr1300.info/howto/audiovox.html

I think there are several threads on this, but my servo is under the tank up near the head of the frame , sitting on top of the valve cover. Probably have a photo somewhere but too lazy to look for it.

Probably your best servo placement option for a Gen II. CAJW's link shows an installation in a Gen I sans ABS, using the space under the right-side panel that was taken up by the ABS unit in later models.

Smitty did the CCS install on my 2005 (Gen I) ABS, and the servo is under the driver's seat.

Keep in mind that even holding 100 or even 120 miles per hour, you're still not near maximum throttle, and the pic above shows that the CC is not restricted in that range.

As for broken chain interfering with closed throttle..... just no. Even if it did jam in there somehow in that once-in-the-history-of-the-Universe condition, a quick manual blip would flip it out of the way.

It will hold at well into triple digit speeds--BTDT

mcatrophy, thanks for the pics. I am glad to see that you seem to have a full range of throttle movement. And I am glad to see the photo of the screw installed from the right side. I installed mine from the left which seems to be common practice but the nut snags on the throttle cable at about 3/4 throttle. I will be redoing that from the right with a different screw.

Lo and behold without a chain attached the chain connector hung upside down and held the throttle open the first time I closed the throttle.

I used a button-headed screw, and even then had to file a bit off it to avoid rubbing on the throttle cable.
The chain is almost essential to prevent the throttle being held open a bit by the actuator.
