Hi guys

this is along shot to anybody that has mccruise fitted to there tenere, i took mine to a really good electric mechanic guy the mccruise was fitted and calibrated all came out good ready to go, now on the ride home first 7 miles ok but then the orange engine trouble warning light came on and stayed on for the 25 mile ride home BUT the mccruise was working as it should,
once home started the bike and the orange trouble light stayed on, i hit the kill switch and it went off tried again and it was off, so went for another ride and 10 mile in the orange engine trouble light was flickering every now and then but the bike in the slower lane of the motorway if you were riding at 55mph and slowly wind the throttle it has a small hesitation jerky feel but would pull through that then take off, but if you dropped back to 55 ish it would hesitate before picking up again and when i pulled into the house the orange warning light stayed on
i,ve sent this to mccruise to see if they can pick up whats wrong, just woundering if anybody on here had a similar issue with mccruise

also can somebody point me into finding error codes on a gen 1 screen

cheers guys

I can't help on the trouble light. But the hesitations that you're describing are the same as with the OE cruise. I've always thought it odd, because when the cruise control adds/subtract throttle, there's no hesitation at all. Absolutely seamless.

mmm,
this hesitation was on the bike when the mccruise was off, i have the orange engine trouble light flickering on and off and on a fast road with cruise off 55mph the bike is slighty jerky hesitates then picks up and goes but if it dropd down to 55 it hesitates again but no cruise active

The hesitation has to be something relating to calibration, assuming the TB sync wasn't touched.

I suspect the glimmering CEL will be a sensor, say on the airbox, that hasn't been plugged back in.

Good luck getting it sorted.

I did the install of an McCruise myself on my 2012. I had two wires swapped at the front brake lever, so things didn't work quite right. I sent an email to McCruise and less than an hour later I got a call from McCruise. They immediately knew what I messed up, and waited on the phone while I swapped the 2 wires and checked it. It was absolutely fantastic customer service from a small business half way around the world.

They may be able to help you if you can give them the error code and explain the problem.

the strange thin is, you can fire the bike up all the warning lights go off, you can ride the bike perfectly without cruise control on you can also use the cruise control if you want and it works fine but after about 10-15 miles into th ride the engine trouble warning light flickers once or twice then it after a few more miles stayes on, bike still performs perfectly with or with out cruise on, this had happened on the 3 test rides

the strange thing is with orange warning light, the mechanic said they normally just come on and stay on but while your riding, around the 10-15 mile mark its off but then it flickers on and off for a few miles more then at about 20 miles ish it comes on and stays on
