All bikes should have the cc fitted as standard. You don't realise until you have it at how good it really is. Here in AUS we have school zones that bring on wopping fines if exceeded. You enter at 40kmh, and flick the cc on, job done. When you first start riding out of the garage, flick the cc on, now adjust your mirrors to perfection whilst riding. On the free/motor way, not only is it good to rest your wrist, but what about your back. I was one of these people who banged on about it being a ridiculous add on. Oh how I've eaten my words now! Its a must try device.
I've just flown from Brisbane to Adelaide (Australia) to buy a 2015 BMW S1000RR and ride it back to Brisbane. The whole trip was about 4,000 kilometres (about 2,500 miles) in just over a week. I can quite honestly say it would have been pretty painful if it wasn't for the factory cruise control. Best invention ever!
Rally Lee hi, I’m in Adelaide I’d love to ride to Cairns, which route did you take to Brisbane? Via the coast or Broken Hill, Cobar etc.
@@Aiken47 I went to Melbourne to watch the Moto GP then from there to Wodonga, Goulburn, central coast, port Macquarie, Coffs Harbour, Byron bay then home in Brisbane. I did see signs to Sydney just after Horsham which would cut out Melbourne. I would definitely suggest that if you're going all the way to Cairns.
One the reason I like s1000rr and can’t wait to get it
Yeah I was keen on the s1000rr because of this but now Kawasaki zx10r has it too so may stay with team green since I have a zx6r currently.
I installed one of these on my 2004 Honda VFR 800. I absolutely love it . I am a novice when it comes to mechanical stuff, but I was able to figure it out. I had some trouble and the guys from MCC called me to help...all the way from Australia. I live in the US. This is a fine product and worth EVERY penny. Gas mileage improvement, less rider fatigue and less of a chance of getting a dumb speeding ticket. It's been on my bike for 2 years, and I've had zero problems. If I ever buy a new bike and it doesn't have factory cruise, I'm buying another MCC kit. As a matter of fact, I won't buy a bike unless MCC makes a cruise control unit that will fit.
Looks like a great kit. The app options and potential for customisation are a real bonus. Nice one Chop-meister.
Good vid 👍,...Still looked complicated to me, and if any install goes beyond ducttape and a bit of spit, I'm out.
👋
Great video, wasn’t sure if there was anything available this good out there.
And normally I skip through videos like this but I actually watched all the way through. SUBSCRIBED!
Thanks Kierre 👍
Like you I laughed about cruise control on a motorcycle....but now after buying the Tiger 800 I'm loving it, makes a big difference on those long trips, especially here in South Aus. Excellent garage video as always.
Great mod mate, can’t beat a bit of hammer time cruising 😎😁
Had cruise control on my bikes years ago,just wrap an elastic band between the throttle grip and throttle body works a treat but you have to close throttle manually lol.
I think it is definitely worth the hassle of fitting, I love the cruise control on my Tiger 800, it is a godsend on major roads when you are churning out the miles!
I live in the States and have this system on my Honda 1300 VTX. And Love it ! Works great never had any problems.
Thanks, I have been looking for something like that. I had enough with the jerky things that go on the throttle
I've had aftermarket cruise control for years
It's called a sticky throttle.
Nice review!
I've got mccruise CC installed on my F800GSA a couple months ago and even though the throttle is controlled by an eletric servo (not throttle by wire) it works perfectly. It's worth every penny!
Completely agree..CC on a sports bike is so useful on the long slogs and makes touring way easier...then more fun when you get to the destination ✊✊
Great to run into your video mate, pretty awesome! Been thinking about adding this to my VFR for a long time now (why Honda never put one is beyond me) and it looks like they'veade it even easier to install and even updated it with the bluetooth feature! Just installed an Atlas Cruise control and so far it's ok. This clearly is way better than that. Might need to save up and finally get me a proper CC!
You are 100% correct! That is why I was leaning to the BMW s1000rr.
This is a game changer. Thank you!
I been looking for an electronic cruise on my ‘22 Ducati HyperMotard.. the mechanics of this MC module looks great..
I have one on my Kawasaki Concours 1400. The bike has throttle cables. It has been great. I would have difficulty traveling without it.
Hi MC Cruise is an Australian Company, they have been designing and manufacturing motorcycle cruise controls for many years, I have 3 of them on my and my wife bikes, one fly by wire and one electric servo model and one vaccum servo model. There is no better aftermarket cruise control on the market. I used the unit on my 2010 FJR when I rode 14,500 KLM is 9 days on a trans Australia Quest and completed several Iron Butt Certified rides concurrently. I would not recommend any other device. Best by Far and easy to install.
Excellent vid LCR. I have a striple rs that is missing just one thing - cruise. I’ll be looking into this for sure. Thanks!
OMG!!! Great vid! Why haven't I seen this device before?? Will make my ZZR1400 perfect!!!!
I added heated grips to mine- love it!
Very well done video Just bought this unit can't wait.
Ugh, Chopsie! It's the biggest pity of pities that you didn't have stainless brake lines to fit at the same time because you have to go to the same lengths of disassembly -- including removing the air box, to fit them. I can't wait to fit this kit to my '18 in the spring. Great vid!
Yes but they are coming soon so it will be apart again. How easy to re-bleed with the ABS system if you have done yours? Also adding quick release caliper fittings so should be quite trick :-)
@@LambChopRides The bleed process is very easy if you have a vacuum/power bleeder. It's no different to a conventional brake system.
OK great news thanks!
Great review saving up now for my Honda ATAS
Can I ask?
My bike has a smart brake system on it the flickers the brake light under engine braking or down steep hills.
Do you know if this would turn the cruise control off or does it just work when you press the brake.
Looking at this unit for my MT09 Tracer. Thanks for the review :)
Makes ya proud to be an Aussie!
Hope they have one for my 2002 Honda VFR800!
Great video, fantastic to see the process, thanks!
These have a good reputation, and I love the cc on my 1290SA because I don’t want to pay crazy Australian fines, but these units are way too expensive. They ought to be selling for half those prices
I have a mechanical throttle lock. But, this looks so much better
I’d love of these but so expensive
Wonderful review. I’m going to get one thanks to you!
About $1000 to buy for my 1090 Adventure R here in Australia. For that price and the ugly switch options, an Atlas throttle lock will do perfectly
Excellent video LC, shame you can’t get a discount code from them, worth a try ?
Damnit!! I was hoping they'd support the 600/750 sport bikes. Jealous for sure. Nice mod and bike 👍
Same here..looking for something like that now
Looks like my bank account bout to be 1k less just got the gsxr-1000r 22 and I wish it came standard great video
Great video yet again thank you Danny .
So that’s what MC Hammer has been up to since the 80s.......developing a cruise control system! Nice one Chops, do they do something like a teasmade so you could have a cuppa on the move? ....Gotta be the next mod?🤔🤪🤪👍🏻
Enjoyed your video, if I didn't ride a busa I would be on a GSXR 1000R great value for an amazing bike, thanks.
Here I am thinking to put a cruise control for my BMW F800 GT but this more motivating looking at sports bike. 🤣
the mobile app ability to set limits via GPS location is something you don't get on factory systems. Like it
...doesnt it just use gps to determine speed? I don’t think you can enter a gps location
Looking into getting this system. Any benefits you think of the location of the controls? They offer the option you have here (horizontal) and a vertical option that remains next to the grip. Just wondering if you think one may be nicer than the other? Love all the content
🏍🏁
love the marvel intro. Can you get the MC cruise installed on the triumph street triple 765 18 model
?
That was an excellent review - nicely paced and very detailed. I have just stepped down from a BMW K1300GT which had OEM Cruise. I bought a Honda NC750X and I see they don't list an MCCRUISE control for that bike so I contacted them and got no reply which is surprising. Do you have any way of finding out. Thanks
Hey great vid chopsie! Love seeing a bit of garage action, although I'd like to see some failures from time to time (or is that just me?)......cruise control looks great, just one thing I missed, what is the approximate cost of the system??
Depends on the model of bike, from what I've seen its ~AU$650 to AU$1200. Quite a bit of money.
haha Im safe as dont own a compressor haha. Thanks matey, yes cost depending on the £ to the $ the GSXR one is about £350 sh which I dont think is too bad its its a high quality system.
I dont think id want it to be deactivated by the throttle, i always ride with both hands on the bars, and id constantly be deactivating it, i like hows its set as is
Great video
Thanks for that! Not cheap at all, but cruise control is something pretty nice on longer rides!
How is the function when you use the quickshifter and blipper? Keeps it activated or not? Are the complications with the installation, when you already have a full translogic quickshifter and blipper system? Like your channel, keep that style 👍😎
Thanks DR, when using the QS or blipper it interrupts the cruise as it detects the abrupt change in revs and deactivates. I think it will be exactly the same with the Translogic shifter and I couldnt see any reason why they couldnt work together.
How much this would have cost Suzuki in the assembly of the bike? $30? So sad they didn’t include it.
My mt10 was the first bike I've owned with cc. Got to agree, I didn't know I needed it until I had it 🤣
Agreed it's a nice thing to have, but I rarely use the CC on my S1000R since I avoid the motorway like the plague.
That bike sounds smooth...
Great Video Mate!
I would love this on my Yamaha mt09 SP 2020
Very Interesting mate nice one👍
Lamb chop. Did you get hit for import duty on delivery after paying for it? If so how much.
Many thanks. Mike
...after purring in another video, I'm sure now the Gsxr is rubbing against you every time you enter the garage... 😂😁
I want cruise control on my Duke 790, looking very closely at this.
So is the gsxr yours now or still a loaner
Not quite yet but very soon!!
I know how a cruise control works on a car but on a bike you have to keep your hands on the bars most of the time whereas in a car you can take your feet off the pedals...how does it operate on a bike ??
I have been looking for something like this for years, in particular last years for my Z1000sx. I partially solved with Cramp Buster but still I got to have health problems to my fingers at the right hand (in 2018 I have ridden 25000 km) :-(
Cruise control is ALWAYS a great feature, also on sporty bikes. Otherwise we could think for example that engineers at BMW are stupid, as they they've put it on the S1000rr. I have it on my 2018 Superduke and use it a lot, even for a little mile, up to the next bends just while chilling a while...
GREAT VIDEO MR CHOPS... as always. Thank you!
luKiluk I'm sorry to say I don't think it will work on your Z1000SX because it does not have a fly by wire throttle.
@@samiam8779 I know Sam thanks 😊
Actually my Z is quite "old" (2014) and anyway I don't want to make any more mods and i'm quite happy with the simple Cramp Buster. And especially, as someone said in the comments, speaking mechanics I can't go much further spit and tape 😁
Baron thanks for that. You learn something new everyday. Do you know who would do one for a '12 V-Strom, as I'd love to have electronic cruise control. Cheers!
Baron OMG! I can't believe I missed that. Thanks, much appreciated!
Superb content
I NEED THIS! will it fit a bmw R1200gs 2004?. Love it.
The problem with most companies like this they cater to a narrow (usually high end) product line and alienate a large market share. This looks like a great product, but unless I own a high end bike , I cant get it. They should make these for more common rides Not everyone cruises to work on a "Z1000 Any rand" bike. Many have smaller more economical rides in the 400-650 cc range.
I still don’t understand why this bike doesn’t come from the factory with cruise control.
Can you get these for older bike's which have a cable throttle and carbs... Like a universal kit?
Looks like a lot of effort
Where can you buy one of these in the UK? Or can it be only ordered from Australia??
Can I ask if you got it direct from MCCruise or a UK supplier?
Looks good is it worth having one on a naked bike
Yes I would say so Sam, Womble has cruise on his Tuono and loved it in Spain
I'm the very near future all vehicles will be GPS speed limited. So you should make the most of not having it now.
god thats a depressing thought :-(
Excellent
What happens if you set the increase in mph per push of the button to 20 mph does it do it?
I’d really like this but a bit to much tech for me
Their product gets good reviews shame units so ugly and sticks out. On one of the yams (fj09 i think) you can fit the tenere switch for a factory look
That is pretty cool and the extra features it offers are fantasticles, I really wish my Triumph Street Triple 765 had cc fitted, I wonder if it will ever be an option they can retro fit to the bikes?
It is very good, Im sure they most likely do one for yours.. Get it on the Christmas list!!
@@LambChopRides haha, I've just been a naughty boy so not sure Santa will be getting me anything for a while, credit card took a mega bashing today! ;-) Ooh, have you seen that Triumph are adding GoPro controls to their TFT dash along with nav and music?
@@HippoDrones No really not seen that yet wow!! Speed Triple for me next then hehe
@@LambChopRides hahaha, looks like from next year they will retro fit it to all bikes with TFT, will be booking my 765 in for it for sure! :D
Hippo-Drones can you elaboration that? Are you saying that triumph will have a cruise control option for a 2018 Triple RS? Installed at the dealer, for a fee obviously?
would this also work on a gsxr600? i wouldn't imagine the wiring is too different on a 600/750/1000
Does it hold your speed when going up or down hills, how jerky is it
Would this work if I’ve got a flashed ECU?
where is the price?
where can i order it from?
how much time it takes in delivery?
is it on cash on delivery?
has anyone bought it from the link the video uploader has given as i cant find it
Hi can I add this on my benelli TRK502X? What will be the price? I am from india.
Can a system like this fit any of the Fireblades?
yeah looks all very good . but ! dont like all that GPS control stuff at the end of your video yes sure this can be turned off ...sorry i will stay with the good old manual throttle control lol its all i i know to old for a change now i will put up with the throttle ache
thats sweet!
What's the world coming to when a POME confuses an Aussie for a Yank. As a Canuck, I find myself bemused.
Would this fit a Kawasaki Vulcan S?
Can you get it in the UK??
Its been over a year now, how has it held up? Been thinking about getting one
Bikes sold now but has been faultless 👍
Wow. I am good on wheels, oil-changes, chain-tension, you know...shade-tree mechanic stuff. This is too intimidating. Look at the trouble you could have saved everyone Suzuki! Make it stock!
That and ABS on all their Boulevards would be nice.
Can I put this on a 2001 FZ1?
What about changing gears without using the clutch, say you have a quickshifter for example, will it shut the CC off?
Simão Costa yes it will
@@CraigShawCraigShaw that's unfortunate.. but still love it.
Damn. They don't make one for my bike...... yet
do u know if they have this a 2019 Panigale v4s?
How you can use mc hammer music in your video???
I only used short clips, if its under 9 seconds you can use any music
Thanks!
@@LambChopRides wow i didnt know that! Thanks :)
Can you supply an Australian price to buy Lamb Chop ??
I'm quite interested in it for my Gixxer.
Take a look at their site Robert, its model specific so didnt bother to list it. Also depends on exchange rate when buying overseas
Sorry just reread, about £350 for the Gixxer one like mine :-)
@@LambChopRides
Ok. That'd be around the $700 mark in Aussie currency.
Thanks Lamb Chop.
Great videos by the way.
The best in motorbikes i feel beside the Missendon Flyer.
Can this fit with 2018 kawasaki ninja 1000??
A Kaoko throttle lock works brilliant, for 60$, and takes 2- min to install, i looked into MC Cruise and its stupid expensive and will take hours to install- no go for me
Kaoko is also interesting but this is REAL cruise control. Desengages with brakes, throttle and clutch, and you can set speed in a very accurate way.
Michael Kastner I have a kaoko on my ‘13 Multistrada and real cruise control on my Tuono. Kaoko doesn’t compare. Kaoko is better than nothing but that’s it. Speeds up massively on slight declines and similarly decelerates on mild inclines. Hard/impossible to get exact mph.
If you guys are wondering what it's like needing to wear glasses. Just imagine seeing the world through Chops' auto focusing camera.
