I just picked up my 2015 F6B

[nvmyf6]

I like the factory cruise and worth that to get the new model.

I agree, well worth the wait. The factory cruise operates kinda weird though, when I push the button to set the cruise and then release the throttle, the bike decelerates a bit then it picks up to the set speed, kinda has a slow reaction.

I have been playing around with it and it seem that I need to hold the throttle a bit longer so the bike doesn't decel as much. I guess its normal for the Goldwing guys, because the manager/sales guy, that sold me the bike has a Goldwing and made me aware of how the cruise control may seem different.

My FJR had cruise control, and I would just set it and forget it. no decel at all

Congrats on the new F6B ,you can adjust the cruise cable so it comes on faster.The older Wings had the same problem but my 2014 is good out of the create.

Exactly right... The cruise lag is a common problem on the GL1800s, and is well understood by the Goldwing mechanics (and thus, easy to remedy). Since your bike is brand new (with warranty), you should be able to have the cable adjusted for no cost to eliminate the deceleration after setting it. I had a 2003 GL1800 with this problem, and I paid the Honda Tech to fix the problem...

Yep, I'm gonna have to look into this issue. I am surprised I wasn't told that it could be adjusted if I found it to be a problem, since the Dealer guy told me about the issue.

There have been volumes written about the cruise control hesitation on various Gold Wing boards. I had ''08 and a '12 model full Wings and both had hesitation or a bit of a jerk when the cruise was activated. I never had a good fix for the issue. That is one reason I have found it humorous when all the early F6B owners were wishing for and wanting cruise control. At the same time, full Wing owners were complaining about the Honda factory units. You have a nice looking motorcycle, have fun and enjoy!

Congratulations on the new bike! You mentioned you used to have a blue and silver Valkyrie Interstate and that you are from Blythe,California. There used to be a guy from Blythe that had an Interstate like that. I used to see him and his family at some of the earlier VRCC Inzane Rally's who's first name was Dennis. His handle on the VRCC board was Dennis from Blythe.That wouldn't be you by chance would it?

I thought that might be you Dennis. Good to hear from you again. If I remember right I think the last time I saw you was at one of the Inzane's in Paducah or maybe Frisco and your family won the raffle where they gave away a mini captain America chopper.
