Rostra Cruise installed.. (finally)

[VFRcanada]

I had a Rostra cruise installed on my bike but I couldn't get it to stop surging. Did you guys have any troubles? What do you have the dip switches set at?

Nope I give up for now.. Mine is unhooked. I will play over the winter or switch to vacuum..

Messes up my speedo/ electronics to bad. Just got the speedo fixed by Scott at Blue gauges..

I'm not sold on the rostra at all..

Randy, yours works good? No surging?

I had my switches set at:
1-2 off ( Extra Low Sensitivity)
3-4 on, 5-6 off (8000 PPM)
7 on, 8-9 off (4 Cylinder low)
10 on (Square wave)
11 off (Manual)
12 off (Open circuit switch 250-3592)

I read in another thread Jeff has his set to 16090 PPM:
1-4 off
5-7 on
8-9 off
10 on
11 off
12 on

Maybe I should try that setting.

Anybody offer any help?

Is it a fast surge or a slow surge?

 

[VFRcanada]

It's slow. Probably about 3 seconds on the throttle, 3 seconds off.

very nice, cruise is the way to go..... kept me out of trouble on the long trip.

 

[jjmetheny]

It's slow. Probably about 3 seconds on the throttle, 3 seconds off.

Increase the gain to low or mid, mid is where they recommend to start. If you have a fast surge go down to low or extra low, if it's a slow surge go up in gain to high.

I'll try that. What should the PPM be?

Mine is set at 16090, but I've talked to Doyle and others that said 16090 didn't work for them.

You might also check the slack in the cable, I had my best results with very little to no slack. But again I have heard from others that it didn't work well with no slack. The only reason I mention it is because it worked for me and it is noted in the FAQ on the Rostra site.

Note: All settings are based on 1/8 inch slack in cable more slack will cause cruise to surge or lose
speed on set.
