Great video as always. I use my Cruise control on my F3 Limited all the time. There are two other additional notes: First if you are at an RPM where you may change between gears go to the higher gear before selecting “cruise” because changing gears will also disengage the cruise control, so if you change gears you will have to reengage it again. Second and this is not in the book, merely and observation, but if you are in “ECO” mode you may find the cruise control is not as responsive.
Well, I'm glad you are using it! Obviously folks like it or they wouldn't keep putting it on bikes! 🤗💜Thanks for stopping by! Hope you are having a wonderful summer!
Hmmm...I don't think I would use cruise control in the rain...can you please share why you think it's useful to use then? Thanks and have a blessed weekend! 💜🙏🏼🤗
I'm with you Purple I've actually only used my cruise control maybe 2xs, but my goal is to incorporate it into my long distances ride...thanks for the demo...have fun stay safe
Well I'm guessing you don't have it on your bike then. I wish I could pack it up and send it to you lol because I could care less about it and I have ridden 80,000 miles without it and then some lol. 🤷♀️💜😁
This is Interstate 80...so many accidents on here involving semi's....there was a wreck yesterday and a section was closed for 12 hours...involved multiple semi's and vehicle fires and sadly, a death...😔🙏🏼
G’day Jodie, thankyou for educating me on how to use cruise control on a Spider 😊 Ya never too old to learn new things and who knows I might even get a spider one day 👍😁
Not exactly...I'm having a suspension issue with my new ride...one more week until I can have it looked at...We sold the 2018 Spyder and the 2018 HD and Tommy is getting things in order for his "new" 2021 Road Glide...how about you folks? I missed coming to SD this year!!
Well, it's good if you like cruise control. I don't use it in the car and I have ridden 80,000 spyder miles without it... So I guess it just depends if it's your thing. 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️ Like I said if I could have traded it for another option on my new Spyder, I would have lol 😁😅😜
Too many crazy accidents on Interstate 80 where we live...folks just driving crazy...lots of truck tractor accidents. Stay safe out there and hope you have a blessed weekend! 💜🤗🙏🏼
My Kawasaki Voyager also had cruise control. I love it - never had a speeding ticket and I feel it is good for fuel economy as well. I tried a throttle lock on my Suzuki Burgman Scooter but it wasn't as successful - I think I bought a cheap one.
I guess sometimes it pays to spend the money in the first place and get quality lol...sometimes....I've never had a speeding ticket either and that's without cruise control, but I can see how that would be very helpful, Roger!! 💜🙏🏼🤗
Happy Sunday Purple. I have used my Cruise Control, and I had my RT Limited for almost two years. After watching your vid, I think is will take it out and test it. I was wondering if you could talk about your GSP and the mount attaching it to the handlebars. Safe Sypdering ! (PS- Love you and Tommy G's content.
Well, hello there, Knightshadow! Did you test out the cruise control? Everything work ok? Why, yes, I can talk about the GPS and mount...I do believe someone else asked about that previously. I can tell you the GPS is the Garmin Zumo XT...you don't need cell service for it to work and the mount is a RAM mount....I am going to do some recording in the next few days so let me see what I can do with that...please feel free to e-mail me jodyshawley@gmail.com if you have anything we can help with! 🤗💜🙏🏼
@@PurpleOnThree Thanks for sharing the information, looking forward to seeing your recording on this topic. I save my questions until after seeing your vid. Blessings. 1
Well, that is just about one of the truest statements anyone could make!! We actually tried to use it on both Spyders ( I cut that part of the video)...both going the same speed and still the distance between the Spyders was getting farther and farther apart...🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
I had a cramp buster type paddle that I received free with an order. I have foam grips and one day I hit it just right and it popped off. It didn’t fit real well with the foam grips. I’m going to try the actual brand CrampBuster and see if it fits better.
Oh dear, Patti! Yikes...mine fits pretty well with the foam grips and even with my heated grip wraps. Someone gave mine to me but it is an actual CrampBuster brand...best wishes!! 🙏🏼💜🤗
Thank you for mentioning that, Jim! That is good to know! I guess that would be 24 miles an hour ish... I can't imagine someone would want to use curious control going that slowly but you never know lol 😁👌
as someone who mostly drives on cruise control, because he constantly has to relieve his hands, I claim that the switch is ergonomically very poorly shaped. just like the turn signal switch. But like everything, it's a matter of getting used to it 😉
Ahhh, that makes sense you need to use it...I wonder if the new models have a better set up? Yep, gotta get used to just about everything and then it's ok! 💜🤗🙏🏼
Thank you for this good advice!! Do you ever have to drive on I80? It's crazy busy with trucks here in PA...lots of accidents...I avoid it when I can...we are on I80 in this video...stay safe out there! 💜🤗🙏🏼
Great Video! I use my cruise control all the time. I even use it in town.
Thanks, Adam! Glad you put it to good use! I'm just not a cruiser, lol 😅

Thanks, Dan, and glad you are getting use out of your CC! ECO mode...but why? I wish I could just have regular mode and sport mode, lol! 😄😄😄
I always speed up when passing big trucks on the interstate 😎👍
Me too, Chris! Get the heck out of that big blind spot!! Yikes! 😅😅😅
Cheers from Sweden
Thank you kindly! Are you a cruiser, lol? 🤗💜😅
I always use my cruise control! Even at 30mph! Constant speed means better fuel mileage. Cheers PO3!
Interesting... Just out of curiosity, what is your fuel mileage?
@@PurpleOnThree I average anywhere between 32 and 37mpg
@SpyderRichard And I'm sure that depends on if you are riding solo or two up. I've been averaging 37 miles per gallon on the new spyder
I'm with you Jody, cramp buster all the way 🎉 I do use my cruise on the highway ❤
I love the CrampBuster...such an ingenious design...glad you use your cruise, Jame! I'm using nothing right now...suspension issue 😭😭😭
I use cruise control a lot. 😎 great video
Then I'm glad you have it, Artie!! Hope you guys have a blessed weekend! 🤗💜🙏🏼

Thank you, Jamie... Hope you're doing well! 🤗🙏💜
Good info. LOVE cruise control!
Thanks, RJ! And glad you love it and get the use out of it! I'd like to trade mine for a 2nd suspension system lol 😭😭😭
I love our cruise control and use it all the time. That's exactly how our 2019 Spyder RTL works. Thanks for the video
Well, I'm glad you are using it! Obviously folks like it or they wouldn't keep putting it on bikes! 🤗💜Thanks for stopping by! Hope you are having a wonderful summer!
Cruise Control is really useful specially when it's raining.

Very informative on the Cruise Control. I rarely use mine, but it's cool for those who struggle with it.
Xavier, do you use it in your car? I don't use it there either....thank you! 💜🤗🙏🏼
Very cool Video! Nice Cruise Control Demo! Thanks Jody and Tommy! 😊
Thanks so much, Xavier! 🙏🏼💜🤗
Looked like another great trip, cruise control, what a wonderful luxury to have 😎
Well I'm guessing you don't have it on your bike then. I wish I could pack it up and send it to you lol because I could care less about it and I have ridden 80,000 miles without it and then some lol. 🤷♀️💜😁
Oh, y'all are bringing Spyder Wayne with y'all this time? Cool! 😎
We love hanging out with Spyder Wayne!! 💜🤗🙏🏼
I agree, I don't mess around with semis, too many blind spots.

Nice video. I use my cruise as much as I can. I just like to use it 😇
Thank you! And a lot of folks like to use Cruise Control...I'm just not in that club, lol
I’ve even learned something on that one ,, good Job ! 😊
Thank you so much! As Tommy pointed out, even this "old" spyder rider learned something new lol! 🙏🏼💜🤗Glad you learned something new as well!
If you do some distance having the cruise control is so cool. I bet you know it. :) Nice video. Enjoyed. Say Hi to Tommy. Cheers.
Gregor... Everything ok? You were not at your premiere... Nope, I don't know it... All those miles I ride and I don't use cruise control 😂😂😂
I wish a few years ago you had posted this. I had a terrible time getting mine set lol.
Darn, Darly! Wish I had posted a few years ago as well. But you're a pro now, I bet!! 🤗💜
@@PurpleOnThree, I can use it now lol. But, for people that are new, this will be very helpful!
@darlyp8587 🤗💜
And don’t forget, just bump the button up or down one time for a 1 mph change. I love that feature.
@@stanweaver that’s a great feature Stan! I use cruise heavy on everything I drive.
Thank you, Stan! Pretty cool feature for sure! Didn't know that until Tommy was explaining it to me! 🤗💜🙏🏼
You can have mine, RJ, lol
Awesome video Jodi and Tommy!🤗
Thank you, Jamie! How is your summer?
Going good. Yours?

Great to have. I love it
Does your new ride have it?
You guys stop racing before the highway patrol get you lol take care guys ride safe
Well now, Tom, they have to catch me first 😂😂😂
Hope that truck makes riding easier yet. 😊😊
🤗💜👌
I love the cruise control on my Ryker. much better than the throttle lock.
Glad you like it! It's just not my thing...I do like my Cramp Buster though...I don't think I would like throttle lock either lol 😄💜
WOW! I have yet to use mine... Probably should have after our last chapter ride to the Carolinas in Myrtle Beach 😬
Well, it's good if you like cruise control. I don't use it in the car and I have ridden 80,000 spyder miles without it... So I guess it just depends if it's your thing. 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️ Like I said if I could have traded it for another option on my new Spyder, I would have lol 😁😅😜
I don't like highway riding anymore, only for a few miles
Too many crazy accidents on Interstate 80 where we live...folks just driving crazy...lots of truck tractor accidents. Stay safe out there and hope you have a blessed weekend! 💜🤗🙏🏼
