cruise control

[Black wing]

so i have a box here 1NL-85830-00 which ive found on here is the cruise control module, now im hoping to find a way of testing it. when im riding and i hit the power button on the cruise control and it lights up but when i try and set the speed it dosent seem to notice, ive cleaned the switch and it seems ok too

If you haven't found them yet, here is a link to schematics I reworked a few years ago. They are much easier to read than Yamaha's versions.

The simplified circuits versions are electrically the same as the full wiring schematic, but the connectors are not shown. This makes the point to point following of the circuits much easier.

 

Check the cluttch switch first to make sure it is not coming back far enough to kick circuit out. Eac brake lever & clutch switch will disengage cruise.

 

There are posts in the 1st gen Tech section on cleaning the switches on the bike also.

If your clutch handle is loose or the pivot hole is worn, it will not allow the cruise to stay on. Check the spring under the handle to make sure it keeps pressure on the handle to keep it fully engaged. Although the loose handle usually ends up cutting off the cruise due to vibration and/or rough roads. Sometimes the switch will stick if it is very dirty. Happened to my 89 VR. I also replaced the handle with a new one off Fleabay for about $10.00 and I haven't had a problem since.

When you go to set the cruise punch the set button twice, or hold it in and count to 10. You do have to be in 4th or 5th gear and going over 30-35mph... Don't ask how I know that....
