Hi

Just fitted the MCCruise control to my Blackbird. No issues with the install, and also happy with the "factory" config.

I am impressed with the installation guide and the overall quality of your product.

Thank you

G’day Frank.

So nearly 3 months later I still had the MCCruise package in the bike cave. I hadn’t been game to install it prior to a planned ride in case I stuffed it up and was left with my bike off the road. How wrong was I. I’m so excited, I had to reply with something you can use as a ‘testimonial’ perhaps.

Yesterday was the designated day. I got up early to clean the bike cave so I had a spotless work area that I could actually move in. By 10am I was ready to put the bike on the stand, and so it started. I opened the carton and laid out all the parts neatly on the bench. Daunted by the small dictionary that accompanied the hardware, I set about the anticipated 2 weeks of reading. To my delight it was a picture book! How good was this! I think it said read everything before you start – but whose got that sort of patience. Away I went – one pictured instruction at a time. A lunch break came and went and progress was good. By early afternoon all the hardware was mounted and the electrical was started. How could I expect this to go well? Those plugs? I’ve always wondered how something so fiddly was manufactured let alone worked on. How simple are they! A design masterpiece! And the photos make it so simple to dismantle them! So all of a sudden I only have one wire left to connect to the front brake switch. A little extra heat shrink to hide the ‘orange wire’ (I’m not riding a KTM) and I’m done. Now to reconnect the battery cable and watch the whole thing go up in smoke! That was yesterday and still no smoke!!! And the best feeling? Switching it on and seeing all the lights come on. Apparently that means “the connection is correct”. Yee-hah! I ran through the diagnostics page, adjusting cable free play etc as described. I expected failure at every point due to doubting my abilities, but all responses were as specified. Unbelievable! Now to hit the long road and give it a good test. I’m excited!

Now don’t assume I’m a wizard by any stretch of the imagination. This is designed to encourage others to ‘have a go’. Honestly – the set of DETAILED instructions made it child’s play (almost). These guys have gone above and beyond to make this as simple as it can get. They must do numerous installations to develop such a detailed document describing any expected pitfalls and solutions (with PHOTOS). If you have a few tools and right mindset, I cannot see any issues whatsoever. I completed this install in about 7 hrs on a 2014, ABS, Triumph Thunderbird Storm, including packup, cleanup & test ride. I was methodical, and often read each step twice to be sure. I was in no rush, and now have a great sense of achievement. Many thanks MCCruise. Thumbs up!

Now I’m dreaming of an Africa Twin – so looks like I’ll be in touch again soon

Just wanted to send a short note to tell you how pleased I am with your product, I've installed a unit on an '05 FJR; went on like a breeze, the setup and calibration was easy and Ive put it through many check rides and it performs as advertised, I'm really enjoying it! Thanks Again!

Tony,

It is 8:30PM in Eastern Texas, USA. You phoned earlier today to tell me that there were issues about delivery of the cruise control back to me after having been repaired and at your facility. I had notified you that the parts are sitting at a FedEx facility 25 miles from me and had already been there for at least a full day. And they are refusing delivery until April 16. Which is an additional 5 days for the parts to be at their facility from the date they arrived at that facility. I am only recalling the circumstances of our communications to remind you which customer I am! I am sure you deal with many unusual and mind bending events on a daily basis.

The reason for my email is to let you know how happy I am. It is such a breath of fresh air that you have taken the time to keep me informed of the events as all has unfolded. My first thought was this will be a waste of effort to ship this broken part half way around the world. Why should anyone pay attention to my desires....after all, we are on completely opposite sides of the planet from one another. There are 7 BILLION people on this planet, I'm just one customer!

When researching your products 4 years ago I read then that you have global customer service and I cannot say enough about how impressed I am that your company stands behind its reputation. You have won me as a customer for life. I will always recommend your company with a personal testament to your character and the quality of your products.

Exemplary attention to customers and the details of your products.

Great work! As a customer and fellow human being, I appreciate your efforts beyond words.

Yours truly,

MC Cruise control on Yamaha MT-09 Tracer review -
Completing the touring capability of an already super-versatile motorbike.

I have been riding motorbikes since I was 16 and have owned many kinds of bikes - loving them all. I think I could be described as one of those “hard-core” riders: I have never accepted not riding just to avoid highways even when I had the possibility of “transporting” my motorbike on a car trailer or a train When if I commute every day on roads I am not fond of riding, often I take the long way home and enjoy the sense of freedom that only two wheels can give.

After more than 29 years riding I finally got to put a leg over a very nice bike: relatively light, comfortable (after changing the seat), with almost electric engine torque and which is cheap enough to pay for a nice one week adventure with the price difference with its competitors - The Yamaha MT-09 Tracer MY 2017.

One thing I was really missing on this bike was a cruise control: the bike is so torquey that it is very difficult to avoid playing with the gas and and so responsive you feel it always pushing you forward and back. And of course Cruise Control comes in very handy when riding to your destination on highways.

I had two solutions: wait for the new 2018 Touring Tracer with an out of pocket expense of 3200 Euro taking into account the discount I could get on MY 2017) - or find a way to adapt the MY 2017 to my needs and save big money for my next trip to Spain.

I knew MCCruise from a Webbikeworld review more than two years ago and I even contacted them to see if I could set up something on my beloved Moto Guzzi Stelvio at that time. This time, I started to dig on the internet and ask in some forums and in few minutes, I realized that there was a completely new electronic kit for my Tracer with the possibility to use the XT1200 switch! Sweet and Clean and it also fit my budget!

I ordered the kit the same day I paid for my new 2017 Tracer and purchased the XT1200 left handlebar switch from ebay in Germany.

After receiving the installation instruction manual pdf I decided that the installation was not too difficult and the instruction were very clear, so I went for DIY.

The kit was shipped 10 days afterordering and arrived only 4 days after despatch(Australia-France… well done TNT!). Just two days after that, the XT1200 left-hand switchblock landed on my workbench.

The day after, my bike was stripped down and I was already installing the kit. All cables and connections are very well crafted, and following the instructions was not difficult at all, even when English is not my mother tongue. I think that I installed everything in less than three hours, not sure about timing, but it was in one single morning between breakfast and lunch during one of my vacation days (late wake-up…). It could have been less - I spent time double checking, triple checking and checking again.

That morning I should have drunk my second espresso, because when I finished everything and all seemed to be ok… the unit did not turn on! Checked again… nothing. I reassembled the bike for a test ride and noticed that the speedometer was not reading!

Here I realized that I needed some help, so I wrote an email and the feedback from MCCruise was quick, kind and clear. Two day afterwards, by arrangement, Tony and Frank helped me to troubleshoot my installation and in less than 20 minutes we realized that I had connected one of the two-way plugs to the wrong place!!! In fact, in the instructions it clearly states the color of the wires of that connector, but… I did not do my espresso break that morning!!! Click! Clack! Everything on properly!

We also went through the main steps of the calibration and I finally put back the fuel tank and all the chassis pieces. That was 5 days ago when the bike odometer read around 500 km. Today I have 1200 km and tested the cruise in a variety of situations and “smooth” is the word I may choose to describe it.

The cruise control can be customized on the speed increment and on other parameters, but I found the standard values work fine for me.
The Tracer engine can push the bike with no effort and the cruise control masters the throttle much better than me (sigh!). When engaging it while decelerating it will remember the speed where you press the Set switch and after one or two second the bike gently speed up to that speed, as I said just here above: “smooth”. Disengaging the cruise control is very easy and intuitive, either brake or press the clutch or press the On/Off switch of the cruise control. (Brakes are recommended.)

After the first full tank with the MC Cruise, I also realize that I am saving gasoline in my day-to-day commuting, where 70% of the 50km is on a metropolitan highway (110Km/h speed limit). I calculated that I reached 24Km/l vs the 20 Km/l I calculated before the MCCruise control was installed. (a 20% improvement!) I can also guarantee that the kit is showerproof, a fundamental attribute for anything moving around Paris in fall, winter and spring time.

In the end, I saved a lot and I am very happy with my choice: I completed the touring capability of a very versatile motorbike, I saved money, I came out with a clean installation of an XT1200 left control switch and I am saving gasoline! What’s more to desire?

…..only one or two months of vacation getting lost in an unknown, distant country!

Thank you for the fine product.

I have installed it on my 2014 Honda F6B Goldwing. It works flawlessly.

One thought for your installation instructions...Do mention that there are two identical plugs down low, on the right side of the bike, one for the brake light signal and one for the speedometer signal. The brake light signal plug is the one we're after.

Hi Tony,
Just want to give you feedback regarding the Throttle-By-Wire Cruise Control we bought for our Polaris Ace 570 ATV.
As a trial agronomist I use the Polaris (with installed boom) for spraying my trials all over the Liverpool plains. After using the MCCruise QuadCruise several times I can say that it is a really helpful tool. Now I can spray with accurate and constant speed which is an important part of trial management.
It is very simple to use (just three buttons) and makes my job more precise and easy.
I have to emphasize that customer support from your company was at the highest level. Thank you and all the best.
Branko.

Hi,

I have fitted the McCruise kit to my KTM1190R Adventure and travelled over 1,000 miles. It is working really well. I have owned a Tiger 1200 and a Tiger 800 with cruise Triumph control and the McCruise is just as good. I like the fact I can engage cruise at any speed in any gear. Even at 30mph in 3rd the speed is steady and I cannot detect any surging so cruise must be making tiny adjustments and not spoiling my ride. Having had cruise control in Cars for 18 years and bikes for 6 years I would never want to own a large capacity bike without it. We have 13,000 speed cameras in the UK and increasingly average speed cameras are being use so the ability to hold a steady speed is essential and the McCruise makes this so easy to accomplish. This allows me to focus on the road ahead and not ride looking down at my speedo.

I installed this kit and it is so detailed to install that it was as if you were there to help guide me along the entire time. This is going to be awesome I’m sure. I’ll update you after I put some miles on it.
Thanks Again,
