Kawasaki's profilation of this bike |
Operation of the cruise control is conveniently from the right handlebar cluster. Cruise control can be activated between 30 mph (47 km/h) and 85 mph (137 km/h) in 3rd gear or above. Operating the brake lever, clutch lever or rear brake pedal causes the cruise control to be disengaged. Closing the throttle entirely is another instinctive way to disengage the cruise control. |
