There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Oh no... maybe the screen issue again on the 2024's :banghead: ..... Mine did work just fine, including the indicator light on the screen (when the bike was working.)
First; Double check how you are enabling. Also, it won't enable below 25 mph. Gotta be above that speed.
Press cruise control button on right hand control after you use throttle to get to the speed you want. Then press the cruise control toggle down (bottom far right on the right-hand control) to set the cruise. You can then use the toggle to go faster (press it up) or slow down (press it down). It will disengage if you change gears or hit the brake. Be sure not to have your foot touching the brake when riding, as it can trigger issues if you are constantly touching it, plus Cruise won't engage.
See page 27, 28 and 29 in the 2024 RT operator's manual...

I believe he is saying he is not seeing the green light indicating the cruise control has been activated. Not that it is not working.

On the 2024's, the throttle acts as the Mode button, Reverse button, and the Cruise Disengage switch. When you turn on the key, the display starts to boot up; this happens a lot faster than on my old 2011. Once the screen boots up, you must roll the throttle forward, and push what used to be the Kill Switch in order to start the engine. This is just a quick roll forwards, as if you were momentarily decelerating; you do not have to hold it there. Once the engine is started, you must roll the throttle forward and hold it there with your foot on the brake in order to shift it into reverse.

Yes /\/\ this. Sorry cant help much on the green cruise light as my S2S is still at dealer with screen issues and other codes crap.. although just a thought....is your screen set to white mode or black mode.. never tried it in white mode as i prefer the black mode contrast as I see that better....but maybe not showing well there? Lastly is the screen in full view mode or split screen ? Try using it in full view mode to see if it is just hidden?
Agreed the owners manual section on this could use some real pics and not the gray crap BRP prints...

On my 2020 the green light is only lit when the cruise control is in use.

I liked the cruise set up on my 2018, you can leave the cruise switch on all the time, and a green cruise light shows on the screen, but on the 2024, you must start the cruise system every time the bike is turned on.
It is nice on the 2024 is it shows you what speed the cruise is set to when you disengage it.
I do like the throttle roll back function for reverse, cruise disconnect, and to show the Home Screen.

Above is correct. On my 24 S2S, that icon turns on when you push the cruise button, then turns green when you set the speed, IT also shows the speed setting right next to it ie. 64; 48; etc. Pressing the up button increases it, and the down button decreases it.
My preference is for the dark screen as data stands out better for me.
I also have the voltage displayed in the center, as I consider that vital to the operation and longevity of the bike. As I stated in previous posts re the crap OEM battery, I have it replaced with a Yuasa 350 CCA battery... The 6-month-old Jailiu battery on my 2023 S2S was showing 12.1 or less volts when cranking, as was my new 1-month-old 2024. Yuasa shows 12.8 cranking, and 14.3 when running.... OH, and use star washers on the connections!!!

Should I see an indication on the display if I just turn on (not engaging) the CC?
The manual said yes, however, I can't see any indication if I have not set a speed to maintain. However, I do have the green indicator when the CC is set to a speed
Error in the book or a little bug on my machine?

The older displays, 2017 and earlier would show on or off. 2018 to 2023 do not show CC on or off. Bruce

Ahhhh ok, thanks Bruce ... I can live with the bug in the book, so they won't have to tear my new machine apart
I'm probably not the first to ask, see below:
Turn the cruise control to ON by sliding the cruise control button to the right
The cruise control status will light in gray in the digital display.
Bring the vehicle to the speed you want to maintain, then press the cruise button downward to SET the speed.
1. Push button downward to SET
NOTE: The cruise control status will light in green in the digital display

On my 2024 Spyder with the 10.25" display, the left side of the display is the Speedometer dial, and when I turn on Cruise Control, it displays an icon in the Speedometer.
At the bottom of Page 27 and continuing to the top of Page 28 of the Operator's Guide, it says:
"Also, the following icon <Cruise Control Button Icon> appears inside the digital display when the cruise control is activated."

Looks like they wrote the 2023 book thinking about the 2024
I've read the 23 manual cover to cover a few times now and I would really love to know what they were thinking in some of these sections!
Does BRP not have any competent technical writers or at least a competent proofreader?

I must admit after 12 years of riding 3 different RTL's I never noticed if the screen has any indicator that denotes the cruise control is on. On all 3, I mostly leave the cruise switch in the on position and then set the speed as needed. Once I turn off the Spyder the setting is cancelled.

This is exactly how I do it also. Not sure why there is an on/off switch to start with.
