Many KawaNOW members wouldn't lift there Nads without using Idaho's Adapter. Makes lifting your Nad so much easier! Just remember, always remove the adapter before using your Nad.

It works pretty good but in my mind its still not the way Id like it. When I set it at 80mph it will drop to the low 70's unless Im on a downgrade then it will pick up to the set speed. Up to 65mph it works perfect. I like to ride on the highways here at around 80mph indicated, which in reality is only about 73mph actual speed.

Ringadingh,

I wonder if your servo unit isn't working properly. I can set mine anywhere from 28 up to 80 and it will hold it solid. With my tall car tire my indicated speed is also the actual speed. I'm using the switch settings per gadget's site.

It also sounds like maybe the servo just isn't getting enough vacuum somehow. Are you using a check valve between the engine and the vacuum cannister and servo? I'm sure you are but just grasping at straws.

I would like to know what Ringadingh's problem is, cause mine does the same.

kawgirl · 07-22-2009, 11:25 PM

Mine won't hold faster than 60. Gonna try adding more volume to the vaccuum.

I have check mine I don't have any vacuum leaks the cable is adjusted but it will not hold a steady speed, I have another servo I will try that next.
