wordsmith Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 @wordsmith - yes, I'll install the McCruise myself. It'll give me a chance to check the wiring for the spotlights and dashcam. The included instructions are comprehensive with many photos. All I need is a day off. Kimmie said it took Karl 4 hours, so It'll probably take me 6 ! My local mechanic could do it if I don't get time. kimmie recommends a guy living near me at Capalaba - apparently he has installed many such devices.

norcal616 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 the instructions are very nicely done, even explains whys and why nots... nice little troubleshooting section as well as a detailed step by step " teaching the cruise control to learn your bikes electronics"... im just waiting to burn up the gas in the tank before installing... no need to rush the install job, take my time and do it right... 2012 wr250f - C-class 30+ age group 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition-80whp 2015 fj-09- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich tune by 2WDW @120whp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member betoney Posted August 5, 2017 Supporting Member Share Posted August 5, 2017 kimmie recommends a guy living near me at Capalaba - apparently he has installed many such devices.No need to pay someone to do it. Honestly, if you follow the instructions, (and they are very thorough) it shouldn't be a worry. The biggest thing is to read each step and follow it exactly as described. It took me awhile because I am anal about wire routing and keeping everything neat under the tank and seat. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jreinhardt Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 I went with the standard switch. Thanks for the advice on really studying the instructions before jumping into the middle of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting Member betoney Posted August 19, 2017 Supporting Member Share Posted August 19, 2017 Glad you finally got your CC. Definitely contact them about the brake flasher BEFORE starting the install, you dont want to get part way through the install and then have to change something. The install should go smoothly if you are comfortable with simple tools and can follow instructions. The hardest it gets is one wire requiring heat shrink, the rest is just following step by step and wire routing. I am kind of anal about keeping the wiring neat and routed perfectly, so I did a few steps twice and it took me a bit over 6 hours. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member peporter Posted August 19, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted August 19, 2017 The pigeon took the long (cheaper ) route, but the McCruise finally arrived. Now to find some time to get it installed. An interesting disclaimer in the manual (below). "NOTE: - If the bike is fitted with a flasher device on the brake light system this may cause interference with the cruise control brake detection. If the cruise control will not work try disconnecting the flasher device or replacing the LED globe with a conventional globe. Contact us for ways to enable both your brake light flasher or LED brake light and the cruise control." I have both LED turn signals and a brake light flasher-Blaster X tail light and turn signal combo (https://www.customled.com/products/2015-2016-2017-yamaha-fj-09-integrated-led-tail-light) and notified them when I ordered. My unit functions flawlessly. There is obviously a difference in the two setups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcal616 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 If you cannot reach the left side coil pack thru the frame, you could pull the top 2 radiator support bolts out and pull the radiator forward to reach the coil pack... I only thought of it well after the fact of doing the installation... I was also still able to slide the fairing pieces out even with the Higdonion Upper Cage in place!!!! 2012 wr250f - C-class 30+ age group 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition-80whp 2015 fj-09- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich tune by 2WDW @120whp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duhs10 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Is there a specific year or part number of super tenere switch block that I should order for use with the McCruise? '15 FJ-09 w/ lots of extras... Fayetteville, GA, USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikehk Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 They give you the part number on the website. 2BS-83954-00-00 It works great BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any advantage of using the FJR over the ST switch block (or vice versa)?? I thought the FJR was much more expensive but I have located it withing $30 of the ST. '15 FJ-09 w/ lots of extras...

Supporting Member betoney Posted March 22, 2018 Supporting Member Share Posted March 22, 2018 There is no advantage of one over the other that I am aware of. I bought the ST switch block because it was cheaper at the time (about a year ago) ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
