Electronic cruise control install

[dmiles]

Hey @Rykerrally, thanks for posting this. If I end up getting a Ryker, I want to do this.

A search for 250-3472 on the site produced no results. Could the number of that part have changed?

Also, I do 3D printing. I could easily print up a waterproof case to any specific size needed.

It's 250-3742 according to the image.

Thank you guys for sharing this. How is this holding on so far?

Perfect after 1 year. Been through several rainstorms, no issues.

I put this writeup with more detail together a while back:

Thank you so much Dick. This is definitely my next project. Just got my 2020 Ryker last month. Having a cruise control will help me with the long coastal trips.

Switch harness

Some additional information on my installation:

Throttle

Under the left headlight cover are three black factory connectors: a 4-pin, 6-pin, and 12-pin (they may be in a different order, as I removed and replaced them from their mounts and I may not have replaced in the same order as original). The top connectors go to the handlebar controls, and the bottom halves to the wiring harness. The 6-pin connector is the throttle connection. The green with black stripe is the Throttle Sensor 1 and the green with yellow Throttle Sensor 2. Cut and connect these two at the wiring harness connector per the Rostra instructions. (if you get these wrong, the bike will enter Limp Home Mode as soon as you try engaging cruise.)
The gray connector is my added cruise control buttons - more on that next.

Cruise Control Switches

I ran 4 wires to the cruise control switches using the factory wire loom for the left switch pod. As stated, the On/Off switch is a push - on, push - off switch; the others momentary. Make the 4 wire connections to the cruise module per the Rostra wiring diagram. As explained, I added a connector so that the switch pod can be readily removed if necessary. As this added connector has no mounting point, I wrapped it in foam to keep it secure.

Brake

The brake connection can be made here, at this wire bundle that runs along the bottom of the frame to the rear of the bike. The Brake wire is white. There are two white wires; use either.

I solder then use Liquid Tape on these splice connections, then rewrap the bundle with black electrical tape. I ran this connection, along with the speed sensor wires, to the cruise module using wire loom (which I strongly recommend).

The Brake + connection on the cruise module can be simply wired to switched 12V power (aux power). It is a required connection for the module to function.

Speed pickup

Rostra supplies a mounting bracket for the speed pickup coil, but I used a piece if 1/8" sheet aluminum with a slot cut in it and a cable clamp.

Where do you find the switch harness? There is none in the package 250-1882 I bought, even no connector? Does it come with the 250-3593 you bought (and don't use)?

There is no switch harness, you pull your own wires to the switches, and solder them to the switches themselves, unless you are referring to the cruise switches you pick when you buy the package? Then you will have that 'plug' at the module itself then just add your own wiring and pull it to wherever you want to mount your own switches.

EDIT: Had to go back and find my order, I picked the 250-3742 with the kit (250-1882), and just used the plug at the module, cut the wiring short, and ran my own wiring up to the switches

Thank you very much for sharing this memento; I got a lot of inspiration from it; I copied the installation of the speed sensor and the switches, I just moved the RES/Accel switch next to the on/off switch; it’s a little more ergonomic ... for my hands (see photos) and a little easier to install I think.

Does anyone know if the cruise control plug and play used on the 2022-2023 will
work on a 2021 900?

No, it will not work.

 

[PatrickS]

No doesn't work. It is 2022+ specific.
