That's sheathing. Shielded wire generally refers to stuff like coaxial cable where the outer wiring SHIELDS the inner wire from electrical interference.

Duck, WTF would you call that black plastic thingy on the green wire you taped into? [quote]
Almost. The shield I refer to is under the "black thingy". In order, inside to out, there is the core wire, insulating covering, electrical shielding wire and then the "black plasticthingy". Shielding prevents the pulse of the Hall Effect Sensor's signal, which I think acts like a AC signal, a sine wave sort of. If it wasn't there the pulse might interfer with a radio. My picture is a little fuzzy from too much coffee or a shitty camera but yes there is wire around the wire.
Or it could be just protection for the wire but I doubt it. Duck, is my theory in the ball park? Or if there is an electrical engineer on board?

Semantics. The wire he wants to hook up to is the green wire covered with the black sheath. Sheeesh.

Well I did and I'll find out the results on the way to work.
"Shielded wire generally refers to stuff like coaxial cable where the outer wiring SHIELDS the inner wire from electrical interference" could't have said it better |

Well gentlemen it works like a dream!
It doesnt always engage right away but that might be pilot error.
Other then that it holds steady as a rock.
Good deal, thanks for the help. |

If you feel it engages slowly, it may be the way you have it set up. When mine was set up for high hp engine it was slow to react when set. What are all your switches set at?

If you notice it not engaging sometimes, check you rear brake pedal to make sure that it's not sticking. Or make sure you right foot isn't getting lazy on the pedal causing the light to be on. BTDT
I have also had one of those plastic check valves crack at the seam and needed to replace it.

Yes, that's how I figured this out in the first place. I was looking for a Throttlemeister originally and stumbled across someone who'd put one on another bike. After some searching I found several write-ups on various different bikes.
I've installed it on:
K1100LT
K1100RS x 2
K75 x 3
K100RS4V

Ok figured it out. Some technical error and some operator error. Sealed the vacuum hose, adjusted the throttle chain and read the Audiovox directions
Because the chain wasn't adjusted properly, it was hunting for a setting. Took the slack out and it worked fine. And instead of hitting resume I was trying to reset it everytime. Don't know why it befuddled me, my car is the same way. Anyway works as advertised. Good farkle! |

| Posing a question to the multitude of riders whom have the audiovox cruise on their bike, have you ever had the throttle stick when passing a line of cars WITH the cruise off? Have we seen any uncommanded errors yet? I have a couple of other theories. I pulled the vacuum tube just in case to get home. |

the only thing I could possibly think of would be the slack chain catching on something and holding throttle open.

| Yea that's the first thing I looked at when I got off the bike. I don't have a Ty-rap around the loop so I am going to do that and try it again. I have some other ideas also that might have done but I have to try and recreate the situation. |

And that's exactly what I found. I snapped the throttle a few times after it happened and last night I caught it in the act. The loop around the throttle bar (not Ty-rap) was loose enough that the throttle bar would catch on the loop and hold it...wherever! So I installed a Ty-rap where it would do some good not unlike the other one which wasn't doing squat. I guess it can't be stressed enough to install that ty-rap to prevent this from happening. |
