2023 RT Cruise control needs to turn past set point to accelerate - is this right?

[Hound]

Co-worker has a '23 RT with less than 2K miles on it.
He said when he goes to pass a vehicle with the cruise set he has to turn the throttle past the point where the cruise was set in order to accelerate.
His Gold Wing accelerated right from the instant he touched the throttle from a resting position.
I don't know because I seldom do that w/o shutting off the cruise.

Normal Spyder response. Its the same on most cars as well.

Ditto on normal response.

All I have to do is rock the gas forward and it unlocks, so it's a one way fast and rock on and go! Maybe it's different from the 2025.

Some bikes the throttle grip goes (moves) with the speed set while I have noticed the Spyder throttle grip does not follow the speed set, so yes you have to roll past where it is set to effect acceleration. That is because there is no throttle cable to move with the grip it is fly by wire.

Same as mine, I find it annoying but I'll survive .

Thanks all

It's annoying. At first I thought there was something wrong till I read this thread. I would just tap on the brake to disengage the cruise and then reset at the appropriate time.

That's how I do mine but find if you don't give it a bit of throttle, it'll slow down too abruptly. I also find that it feels like it decelerates slightly as I'm rotating the throttle to get it up to the current speed to disengage cruise.

Dave, my co-worker says thanks - I'll have to get him signed up here.
