CRUISE CONTROL W/TRAILER

[captblack]

Trailer mode sets the shift points at a higher RPM for the SE5.

While this is only my personal opinion and experience and I'd NEVER suggest someone do something that is in direct conflict with a Manufacturers suggestions, as stated, be smart about it and you'll be fine

We've had the RT-622 trailer and it handles like a dream, even with cruise control. We now have a Moto-Mate camper and still have no issues with long distance road-trips and using the cruise control, but we only use it where it makes sense to do so and we've now logged a collect 50,000 miles with no ill effects.

Not everyone has 'Common' sense tho, so BRP suggests not using it to cover their :cus: which from a corporate standpoint, totally makes sense :thumbup: for them. Its your machine, do what's best for you.

Also, as someone else suggested for me, you may want to look into a cramp-buster as another alternative Awesome $10 mod used when needed can really help alot on those long rydes. Again, be smart about it and only use when appropriate :lecturef_smilie: See, now I'm covering my own :cus: ........................... :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

:agree: Well said: IMO:thumbup:

On the SE5 the nanny has to have something to do or it gets bored... it won't even talk to me like siri will. I use my ears to shift with as well.

I keep the RPMs around 5K when towing up grades so If I lock the cruise on it stays precisely at the set speed with no lugging. When going down hill I lock it in at 3.5 to 4K. I let the RPM dictate the gear. On flats 4.5K feels good

:agree: I just came back from 3k round trip and used cruise about 95% of the time no problems I too kept rpm's up I found out that higher rpms the happier Li'LL RED was. just my way. Plus I have a cramp buster also .My spyder is straight shift GOOD luck PETE :ani29:
