"Turn the throttle grip past the closed position"

[bergmen]

Only neggie w this is that you are in slow down mode (jake brake style). If you don't wanna slow that much, some prefer to just (barely) touch in on the clutch. Doesn't dis-engage the clutch, but rather just shuts off the cruise without the more dramatic slow down that you experience w the beyond off throttle cruise dis-engagement.

Wait a minute.....off is off. Whether you touch the clutch, front brake, rear brake, close the throttle or push the "off" button, the CC is gonna disengage. Period. Unless you open the throttle to the point, or almost to the point of speeding up, the result will be the same. It takes a few times to get the feel for it, but if you really want smooth disengagement, dial in a little "throttle" first then choose your way to disengage the CC. Butta smooth!

What I said was correct.

Your throttle position can remain the same, in fact you don't have to even move it any if you don't want to. But with this method you are in control of your desired slow-down. So you dis-engaged the CC without the abrupt off throttle which in effect gives you the harder slow down effect which sometimes may be perfect?, but with the method I suggested^ you can control the slow down by slowly letting off the throttle at your pace, not all the way off-throttle.

So you are saying that you don't have to open the throttle to match your cruise throttle opening before touching the clutch lever, or that you have to manipulate the throttle before touching the clutch lever?? If you don't touch the throttle before touching the clutch, it will be the same as any other way of disengaging the CC. The bike does not adjust the way it disengages the CC depending on which method is used.

Exactly: "TIP n Traveling speed decreases as soon as the cruise control system is deactivated; unless the throttle grip is turned".

Yes, but some people can't (or won't) read

Maybe I should put the toe of my shoe under the accelerator pedal on my cars and try to pull the pedal back toward me to see if the cruise disengages?

Twisting the grip backwards to disengage is weird. I don't like the design of this feature. Maybe it's rarely used.

When I shut off the cruise I don't want the speed to drop uncontrolled. I always take control of the throttle with my hand just before I disengage the cruise. That way I have direct control of the reduction of speed. I want the transition from cruise to be seamless -- no power interruption.

I almost always use the "cancel" feature on my cars. Before I disengage the cruise I press the accelerator pedal, gain control of the throttle, then cancel the cruise. I added the same cancel feature to my Audiovox CC on the FJR. I use it all the time.

I like to disengage the cruise the same as you. I just roll the throttle open slightly and touch the rear brake pedal. The cruise disengages before any braking can be felt and I have a seamless cc engaged to cc disengaged.

Same applies to the slight blip on the clutch lever. You won't get the quick brake flash however.

Or you can just put the side stand down...

It's a bad "it's a bad joke", it's missing an apostrophe in its "its" .
Well, it's only a little after Friday.

My friend's '86 Cavalcade, my '92 Voyager, and my '02 Goldwing all worked the same way. Tapping the front or rear brake was more convenient, but the throttle forward was there as far back as '86.

Yah, this ************* thread would just about push me "over the cliff".

Good thing the forum has gotten rid of all the noise. We can focus on stuff like this.

(Just jealous I haven't a cruise control?)

On the 2015, no matter how you disengage the cruise, the engine attempts to return immediately to idle speed and you will slow down rapidly. Very rapidly.

As mentioned above, to avoid the rapid decel, you have to open the throttle to a position that would equal your cruise speed BEFORE you cancel the cruise.

I have to differ with you on a niggling technicality, Hud: If you grab the clutch - let's just say pull the lever in fully and keep it there, for the sake of this argument, not that I'd really do that - you will coast to a stop without any of the rapid engine braking that you're referring to. That said, I think we're on the same page; my preferred technique is to gently roll on some throttle to the point where I can just feel some acceleration starting (or not quite - you get a feel for it pretty quickly) and then tap the clutch lever to disengage the CC. I prefer not to flash brakes when I'm not really slowing down, and I don't like to cancel my cruise set point because there's a good chance I'll be going back to it so I don't turn the CC button off. The light touch of the clutch just seems to make the most sense and in practice has been the smoothest for me.

Wait, we're discussing the subtleties of disengaging cruise control on a motorcycle? Must be tough owning a Gen3. Maybe us Gen 1 guys can talk about right way to disengage throttle locks or something.

Sorry, PMS is rapidly closing in here in the northeast.

And, it's a voluntary discussion for everyone commenting. Go figure

Rolling off the throttle past the stop doesn't work very consistant on my 013. I have to give it quite a snap for the cc to disingage. Have taken most of the freeplay out to the throttle. I'm sure there is an adjustment, but haven't found it. I don't use it, but would like to tweek it up.

 

[Uncle Hud]

CA G-Man, you're right, and I take no offense at the niggling. Your "tap the clutch lever" technique is the best method to regain control. No jerk, no brake light, no indication to anyone unless they're watching your hands.
