INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR VICTORY and METRIC MOTORCYCLES: 1. Loosen throttle cable adjusting jam nuts and back off cable adjusters (Fig 1). 2. Remove 2 bolts that hold the switch housing halves together and the bolt that holds cable retainer to switch housing, separate housing and remove both cable ends from throttle grip (Fig 2 & 3). a. When removing cables from grip be careful not to crimp cables. b. Mark cables to identify front and rear cables for re-assembly. 3. Remove front half of switch housing from bike (Fig 4). 4. With drill bushing installed in drill jig, insert alignment pin into bushing and thread into existing 10-32 threaded hole in switch housing (Fig 5). This will align the jig centered over the existing threaded hole. 5. Insert ¼- 20 bolt into the other hole in drill jig and thread into the flat retainer and tighten (wrench tight). 6. Remove alignment pin.
The next two steps involve enlarging the original threaded hole in the switch housing and installing the Cruise-Mate cartridge. Use extreme caution while drilling and tapping the housing that the new threads are installed straight. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND USING THE DRILL JIG PROVIDED WITH YOUR CRUISE-MATE KIT AND FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. Drilling and tapping the new hole incorrectly is likely to cause CRUISE-MATE to operate incorrectly making proper adjustment impossible and may cause throttle to lock unexpectedly causing serious injury or death.
7. Using a drill motor, insert drill into bushing and drill out original 10-32 threaded hole to 21/64. a. We recommend holding housing in a vice, if available, to drill hole so drill bit won’t catch when it passes through housing. 8. Remove drill bushing, insert 3/8-24 tap into hole in drill jig and install new threads in housing. 9. Remove drill jig from housing. 10. Drill out middle hole in cable retainer to 13/32 (we recommend using a step drill) to so the threaded stainless steel bushing fits through the hole (Fig 6). 11. At the bottom of the throttle grip there’s a small seam caused by the molding process; using a fine file or sandpaper remove this mold line. a. Failure to remove the mold line may prevent Cruise-Mate from working properly. 12. Replace front cable into housing, place cable retainer over cable, install Cruise-Mate cartridge through retainer and thread into switch housing (Fig 7). a. Only thread cartridge in about half way to allow for re-assembly of cable in rear housing. 13. Insert front cable into throttle grip and place friction shoe on end of Cruise-Mate cartridge. a. Be careful to ensure small hole in friction shoe is aligned properly on end of CRUISE-MATE stud. 14. Insert rear cable into housing and install into throttle grip. a. Ensure friction shoe remains in place while assembling housings. 15. Replace housing fasteners and tighten. 16. Using a 7/16 wrench, tighten Cruise-Mate cartridge. 17. Return cable-adjusting nuts to original position and tighten adjuster jam nut. 18. Screw CRUISE-MATE stud into bushing until you feel resistance then stop and install CRUISE-MATE handle, spring and bolt (Fig 8). a. Apply a drop of LocTite to threads of bolt to ensure bolt won’t vibrate out. b. Be sure after assembling CRUISE-MATE, handle moves up and down freely on the stud. c. One end of the spring that inserts in the end of the handle slightly smaller on one end than the other. Install the spring with large end first.
You are now ready to adjust CRUISE-MATE for operation. While adjusting it’s very possible you will flood your engine (carburetor models only) so you may have to let your bike set for a few minutes before starting engine.
CAUTION; PERFORM ALL ADJUSTMENTS WITH ENGINE OFF. ADJUSTING CRUISE-MATE WITH ENGINE RUNNING COULD CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO ENGINE.
1. Move CRUISE-MATE handle all the way forward (toward front of bike), turn throttle to full open and release. a. If throttle will not stay in full open position when you remove your hand go to step-2. b. If throttle stays in full open position when you remove your hand go to step 6. 2. Move CRUISE-MATE handle all the way forward (toward front of bike). 3. Pull down on handle portion of CRUISE-MATE a. Pulling down will disengage the male and female spline inside CRUISE-MATE. 4. Rotate handle toward rear of bike one tooth of spline (approximately 15 °) and release handle. a. When turning CRUISE-MATE handle during adjustment process stud should NOT turn. 5. Repeat steps 1 – 4 until CRUISE-MATE holds throttle at any position while on (toward front of bike) and releases throttle completely (from full open position) when CRUISE-MATE is turned off (toward rear of bike). 6. With throttle full open turn CRUISE-MATE handle toward rear of bike. 7. Pull down on handle portion of CRUISE-MATE a. Pulling down will disengage the male and female spline inside the handle. 8. Rotate handle toward front of bike one tooth of spline (approximately 15 °) and release handle. a. When turning CRUISE-MATE handle, during adjustment process, stud should NOT turn. 9. Repeat steps 6 – 8 until CRUISE-MATE holds throttle at any position while on (handle toward front of bike) and releases throttle completely (from full open position) when CRUISE-MATE is turned off (handle toward rear of bike).
