So like many of us, I installed a Audiovox CS 100 cruise control. It has worked great for 10 years, and thirty thousand miles. Late last year, my bike would intermittently run rough. A stumble would best describe it. I was due plugs, but they did not help. All plugs were a little dark, but not fouled. My gas mileage had also dropped from 220 miles per tank to 160. Then it got worse. Intermittently, I would be hard on the throttle, and the bike would just jump to a higher speed. This was so un-controllable, that I was afraid to ride it. No errors were logged in the ECM. Since the bike didn't indicate a problem, I figured that it must have been a Farkle that I added. I removed the cruise first. Or I should say that I removed the cruise engine speed sense lead from my coil. Three tanks later, and I have not had the problem come back. The cruise must have been causing the coil to randomly misfire. Just a heads up on a possible strange failure. And a question? Has anyone installed any of the newer cruise systems made today? Any favorites? Cruise is too nice to do without on a long legged bike like the XX. also, i think that I will try to use the VSS signal on my next install. I just didn't want to mod my harness in any way.
