Cruise Control for Suzuki V-Strom 800 from 2023 – Veridian Cruise

The cruise control for the Suzuki V-Strom 800 from 2023 by Veridian Cruise offers reliable electronic speed regulation, which significantly increases comfort, especially on longer road and touring rides. The system independently maintains the selected speed and noticeably relieves the throttle hand without altering the riding experience.

In addition to comfort, safety and ease of use are key—all functions can be controlled via a compact, waterproof switch on the handlebars.

Technical Details & Functions

The functions:

• Resume / Increase – Resume or increase speed

• Cancel – Deactivate cruise control

• Set / Decrease – Set or decrease desired speed

The switch is durable, easy to reach, and unobtrusively integrated.

Cruise Stop Conditions (Safety Deactivations)

The system automatically deactivates the cruise control as soon as one of the following conditions occurs:

• Engine speed exceeds 8000 rpm

• Front or rear brake is applied

• The throttle grip is turned more than 5% beyond the set value

• CAN-bus data packets are not updated for longer than 1000 ms

Note: Pulling the clutch alone does not deactivate the cruise control – the system deliberately relies on more safety-relevant signals.

Configuration via USB-C

The module features a weatherproof USB-C port.
The following parameters can be adjusted via this port:

• Speed change step size

• PID controller values

• Throttle limits

This allows the cruise control to be fine-tuned to personal preferences or riding style.

Diagnostic Port Integration

This makes the system maintenance-friendly and uncomplicated.

Installation effort

Access to the area around the tank is necessary for installation.
With suitable tools, the installation time is:

The included T-harness is plugged between the original throttle control and the motorcycle and captures the necessary signals for the cruise control function. Important driving data, such as vehicle speed, is additionally read via the diagnostic connector.

For the brake deactivation, a single connection to the brake light signal is also required. This is done by creating a T-tap connection on the corresponding cable.

• Access to the tank area required
• Installation time approx. 1–2 hours
• Vehicle-specific T-harness
