GL1500 1997 vintage (new to me).
What adjustments are possible to reduce lag time and mph when engaging my cruise?
Thanx in advance.

Re: Cruise lag time
I've begun lately to pay more attention to how I release the throttle after setting the cruise. It seems to help if I get to the desired speed then hold the throttle steady while I set the cruise. Then I CONTINUE to hold the throttle steady for a second or two before releasing. This also seems to lessen the 'hunting' that has irritated me since the bike (94A) was new.
