Does Cruise Control shut off on rolling off throttle - 2017 Ltd??

[stocktoy]

I have three bikes on the road that have cruise control - an '06 Goldwing; a '17 Spyder Ltd; and an '18 Street Glide. On the Goldwing and Harley when using CC, if I hold the throttle tight against the stop (rolled back on the idle side of throttle rotation) for a moment the CC will disengage. However, not on the Spyder, and I can't remember if it's supposed to or not. I did a major service last fall and never paid attention to whether it would shut off or not before. Yes, I could check a with a dealer. However, I thought I'd check here first.

Thanks for any and all thoughts on this.

I am pretty sure that the Spyder's Cruise Control DOES NOT do that and is NOT SUPPOSED to do that!!

None of the 2008 & on Spyders that I've ridden have shut-off their Cruise Control simply by rolling off the throttle, even if you hold it hard off all day!! In fact, if they did shut off like that, I'd probably be banging on the dealer's desk saying that the Cruise Control on my Spyder wasn't working properly and it was a Safety Issue they had to fix immediately! nojoke

Does any car or truck you've ever driven shut off/de-select Cruise Control when you lift your foot off the pedal?? :dontknow:

Doesn't those other bikes doing that sorta defeat the purpose of even having/using Cruise Control?? :banghead: I thought the idea of Cruise Control was that you could get off/let go of the throttle and Cruise Control would maintain your previously set speed, even if the throttle did/does return to the (normal) idle position &/or roll right off/get held right off - and that's the way it's always worked, for me anyway!?!

It's simple enough to shut it off/de-select on our Spyders - either a jab of the Right Thumb; a dab on the brake pedal; or a gear change will de-select it; and a slide or a flick of the Right Thumb will re-select it or re-set it. The 'dab on the brake pedal' method is my usual/preferred option on my Spyder when I'm riding with any other traffic around me, cos I want anyone behind me to see the flash of the brake lights & maybe juuust think that I might be slowing down. The adaptive Cruise Control on my latest car even does that automatically when/if I catch up with a slower vehicle & the radar/cruise combines to match the slower speed - it flashes &/or holds the brake lights on until the speeds are matched, even if my foot is completely off either the brake or the throttle hyea:

I love the ACC on my 2021 F-150, and I have to remind myself on the Spyder that my right thumb is the adaptive agent. I use the tap the brake pedal a lot, and once in a while I slide the CC switch to off and back on.

I have a 14 RT and use my CC quite a bit .... I can accelerate and then release the throttle and the speed returns to what it was set at..... If I'm going say 60 mph and want to go slower I either have to TAP the brake pedal, manually decelerate using the CC switch or downshift ....good luck ...Mike :thumbup:

My 2015 RT cruise won't disengage when rolling off the throttle. Never has. Touch the brake pedal enough to trigger the brake lights, turn the cruise switch off, or manually downshift will cancel the cruise, but rolling off the throttle will not. I too have had bikes that would cancel the cruise if the throttle was rolled off, but not the Spyder.

This feature works on the 2024 models

2019 RTL - Using the throttle does not cancel my cruise control, but using the brakes or shifting does. (Resume (pressing up) still works after using either.)

The 24 Spyder is the first that will allow you twist past idle.

The 24 Spyder is the first that will allow you twist past idle.

About time...

 

[Chasdog]

Yea our 2023 won’t cancel cc with forward twist of throttle.

 

[Allen42]

The 24 Spyder is the first that will allow you twist past idle.

If you mean that '24 is the first one that you can accelerate when using CC in order to pass or something, my 2019 allows you to do exactly that. Example: I can have CC set to 60 mph, want to pass, accelerate via throttle to 80, pass, then let go of throttle, and it will coast until it hits 60 mph, and still keep me at 60mph, never cancelling CC.

 

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

I'm not Ed Mat .... he's right about the speed going back to what it was set for .... However, the '24 isn't the First Spyder to do that .... to my knowledge the CC has worked this way since it was offered ....Mike :thumbup:

 

[jjc54]

Mine works just fine the way it was designed. Use it every time I ride, and mine has never been turned off for the last 40,000 miles. Maybe I should shut it off to exercise the on/off switch.

The only time my switch gets used is if I'm up on the pegs, and don't want to bother using my foot to brake and slow down when I'm coming up on someone, and there's a passer on my left. #lazy

I'm thinking he means to roll the throttle forward, past the idle position.

OK, I'll break it down by clue. What I typed "The 24 Spyder is the first that will allow you twist past idle." it should be obvious that every Spyder allows you to twist the throttle in a COUNTER CLOCKWISE direction when viewed from the end of the handlebar looking back on the bike. That would be from idle to wide open throttle. The 24 is the first SPYDER that allows movement from an idle position to a negative idle position CLOCKWISE. Some other brand CC systems allow you to turn CC off by twisting from an idle position to a negative idle position.

What I have a love/hate relationship with is down shifting turning off CC. There are times when climbing a hill, etc. that I would love to be able to downshift and then upshift later without killing the CC. There are other times in traffic when I realize there is a slowdown that I actually like being able to flick my finger killing CC, downshifting and slowing down quicker. Like I said, love/hate.

The above excludes Rykers.

OOOOOOHhhhhhh. Did not know that. Thanks for clearing that up. And the counter clockwise is only to cancel CC, or does it have other purposes?

I dis-aree .... I've a had lot of Mtc's .... I've not used found any that would allow NEGATIVE Throttle, not by a cable system, nor a by WIRE system. .... and IMHO adding ...OTHER types of CC systems into this discussion just complicates things .....Mike :thumbup:

It's also used in the start up process.

The Cruise Control system on the MY2024 Spyder RTs is entirely different from the CC on previous MYs. Read how it works and doesn't work at this link https://www.operatorsguides.brp.com/ - select Can-Am On-road; 2024; Spyder RT; then the operator's guide in your language of choice - pg 27-29 in the Op Guide covers CC.

The two biggest differences in the 2024 CC are that (1) rolling the throttle all the way forward (CW) will deactivate the CC, and (2) unlike previous MYs where the CC switch turned it on and off, the push button activates or deactivates the CC function but the only way to turn off the CC is to turn off the engine. This is a minor distinction in use of the CC but, as stated in the Op Guide, the CC is apparently turned on automatically when the engine is started and is activated or deactivated by the operator.
