Both statements are true: the majority of DIY crimps I’ve seen on bikes and cars have been done with pliers and are often useless (very prone to vibration, often creating intermittent problems that are hard to find). Also a proper crimping tool is slightly expensive (and a specialised tool that can’t be used for anything else), but I have found them to be invaluable. A proper crimped joint is pretty good.

Does the cruise control only work on bikes with a fly-by-wire throttle? I know how it works in cars etc, I'm curious about how all the features like clutch / brake usage disengaging cruise works on a bike ....

Surely just the same. I mean most levers already have switches that are used for lights. So surely its a case of tapping into those?
I'd imagine its easier to implement on bikes with fuel injection and throttle bodies that are electronically controlled. Rather than carb's with mechanical parts. |

I have a simple but super effective Cruise Control on my 99,
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vista-Cru...frcectupt=true There was a UK supplier but I can't find them now ![]() Cost about £25 which seems a lot but it works fantastic so worth it IMHO. I fitted fatter grips to my SV so sanded off the silly Suzuki fins on the throttle sleeve which also allowed me to fit the,"Vista". ![]()

Works much the same on this system, clutch or either brake will kill the cruise. Bu since it piggybacks a tach signal, I have wired that part to also piggyback my quickshifter, which will also cut the cruise. Last edited by Chris_SVS; 07-05-19 at 01:34 PM. |

I saw Chris-SVS’s article about fitting cruise control to a SV above and was inspired to try something similar - so today I’ve fitted air conditioning and an information module from a Saab 900. As you can see from the photo, it is quite a neat fit inside the SV’s fairing, and even though I say so myself it enhances the bikes looks and functionality:
![]() I just have to tidy up the switches a bit, find somewhere to fit the compressor (I was thinking of running it from the back tyre, just like with a pushbike dynamo) and sort out the wiring: ![]() As you can see, I’ve ended up with a couple of loose wires - I’m not sure where they go and can’t find anything on the SV or Saab’s wiring diagrams to help, does anyone have any ideas? I was going to fit some heated grips this week, but as you may see I have a heater now, so I can save £50 on those ![]() Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Last edited by Othen; 07-05-19 at 02:36 PM. |
