Weird. What's unique about 60 mph? Does this not happen at other speeds? Why not just turn on CC when you start bike and leave activated, setting speed as needed?

Also...does the GT's cruise control disengage with brake use, clutch use and/or throttle closing?

 

[BEARR]

Not just 60, 50 and 70……… I can just turn on yes but shouldn’t have to really….. disengages with all three mentioned. I do love the bike but the CC thing is really grinding me, it’s not something you should be thinking of when starting up the bike as you don’t plan your day/ journey around using the CC

Sounds like a warranty issue. Time to call the dealer? They should be able to hook up to a diagnostic program, find the fault and fix it.

On my 2020 Yamaha Tracer 900 GT which has factory CC there was a recall recently for the CC light blinking. The problem was a faulty front brake light switch and it was confusing the system somehow. Mine never had the issue but I did have the switch replaced under the recall. Maybe the same thing is happening or similar on the Suzuki system.

By reporting the fault to the dealer, this problem should get input to Suzuki, and the sooner the better, so Suzuki can issue a model-wide fix if the fault is in the software or hardware.

 

[BEARR]

Probably not relevant, but are you doing anything else when the CC disengages, such as pulling clutch, touching brake lever, etc.? Weird that it only happens when you engage CC while at speed. Wish I had the owner manual to see how Suzuki's CC works, vs my BMW's.

Also ensure you're not rolling forward on the throttle. Apparently rolling forward on the throttle disengages the cruise control. It's a function that's supposed to remove the need to touch the front brake to disengage CC. I don't know exactly how that works; I've only read/heard it. I presume it must have a position that's further forward than the normal spring return throttle-off position.

That's how CC works on my BMW RR...cruise control can be disengaged by rolling off throttle to the stop, pulling the clutch or using the brakes.

hmm I ran across this issue on a youtube video yesterday. I hope I do not get one with this issue. The CC on my 2020 Yamaha Tracer works darn good and very reliable plus easy to use.

Post a link?

Also the QS is not adjustable like my RR 1000 is. Just on or off on the GSXS.

Couldn't see any comments section. Also, I'm a 1000 RR owner...what adjustability are you talking about regarding QS? My RR is on all the time.

 

[BEARR]

You have to watch it on the youtube channel to read the comments.

Wrong RR mine is a Suzuki GSX-R1000R in my avatar commonly referred to in Gixxer land as the RR over the regular R model. The RRs have better suspension, braided brake lines and a few other things which separate them from the regular base R bikes. It has a section under the QS settings menu to set it on 1 being lightest pressure applied or 2 being standard pressure applied or simply off. It works very well either way imo. It has the auto blipper also which works up or down no clutch required.

Got it. Love the auto blip on my BMW RR.

weird thing is it happened on the demo I had in February as well

So...the dealer is aware of it, and has contacted Suzuki?

 

[BEARR]

Told the dealer, dealer informed suzuki uk, waiting for a reply……. Like it’s been said on here the issue I have is that not many on the road yet so no complaints other than me

If Suzuki's been informed (they should have known, but...) then they'd want to get ahead of it before they ship a lot of bikes and have to deal with the issue retroactively. Got to be a simple explanation...it's not like cruise control isn't in wide use everywhere.

Keep us informed...and thanks.

Reczilla just did 300 miles of testing and he mentioned cc being absolutely perfect everytime.

I am really curious what could be a cause or if there’s any situation where it feels to turn off ie. If it detects wheel slippage does it turn off?

I wonder about the CC setup, with the "ON" button on one switchgear, and the "SET" button on the opposite handlebar switchgear...possibly a clue?

 

[BEARR]

This CC issue seems to be a "whack-a-mole" thing. Surprised Suzuki isn't all over this, and hasn't issued any service directive to dealers. Important to make sure this isn't widespread, or the model will have a black eye.

 

[BEARR]

What if it’s something to do with break in?
maybe it doesn’t want it to be fully used til after certain mileage the entire time.

madmike said his fixed itself and works great now with nothing needed but he rode it more

As unusual an explanation as that might seem, it also makes a certain amount of sense. Breaking in a bike is best done on curving, hilly roads, with lots of throttle changes. It could make sense that the initial break-in period has a hidden program to prevent cruising at one speed for very long, cutting out the CC if it senses one speed for a set period of time.
All of my bikes have been broken in on a 75 mile mountain canyon ride, with many changes of speed, lean angle, etc., and they've been super strong bikes because of it.

I like this idea...

 

[BEARR]

Yes, that would make sense, and for that reason I'm not totally convinced that's what's going on...but it has a logic to it. In any case, I am waiting not so patiently to experience this first-hand.
