Front and rear brake won't disengage cruise
#11
I will say it again, if your cruise does not disengage as soon as you touch the front brake lever or rear brake pedal, there is something wrong with your system.
And as you have pointed out, rolling your throttle forward will also disengage the cruise.
But that doesn't lessen the fact you have an issue if the brake switches won't disengage cruise also.
My '15 Limited works exactly the same as my '11 Street Glide did.
The slightest touch of the front brake lever, rear brake pedal, clutch lever will disengage the cruise.
Oh, and rolling the throttle forward on the "Pre-Rushmore" bikes also disengaged the cruise.

Hey all.
I installed a +2 soft brake pedal and went on a 1200 mile weekend road trip.
The first day was in the mountains so i did not use the cruise.
Way home I took the freeway. It was then i noticed my cruise would not shut off with either the front or rear brake. When i got home i checked if the brake light came on when they were depressed, they did.
IDK if i did something on the install
or what?. Don't remember the last time i used the cruise. Not that i have bad memory, just use it so often i don't recall how i disengaged it.
It shuts off when rolled and clutch squeezed.
Any ideas?

Since your going to stick with the "owners manual" story, you should have noticed it also states that it disengages with either front or rear brake being applied.

If yours isn't operating like that, something isn't right, and has nothing to do with it being a "Rushmore" bike.

I found right away with the rushmore's you need a lot of brake lever travel to disengage the cruise, so much that is causes the bike to compress the forks before cruise shuts off. I read the owner manual and saw they say to roll the grip forward to stop cruise, started doing that and works fine. Mike
I use the throttle roll or press the on/off cruise button.

Now the front fork dips. Rear same way without dip of course.
Thats why I felt it wasn't working because of the amount of pressure needed to dis engage. I don't think it is working right.

I took it out for a spin to test the theory. It takes a good pull on the front break lever to turn it off. It used to do it with just a slight pull of the leaver.

Cruise disengagement isn't tied to brake pressure at all.
It is an electrical switch that sends a signal to disengage.
If the switch isn't working correctly (not sure if it can be adjusted) and requires you to pull the lever in more than normal before it trips the switch, then of course the brakes are going to be applied.
But the switch should trip the cruise off before you even notice any brakes being applied.
Same goes for the brake light. Just the slightest movement of the brake lever trips the switch and brakes lights come on and cruise disengages.

If anyone knows this would be real helpful.

i just rode 300 miles this morning, used the cruise a lot, just a lite touch of the hand brake lever disengaged the cruise, I would not be surprised if the slight movement it took to disengage cruise was not even enough to kick the brake lights on. You are certain to have a problem, the brake disengage is an essential safety feature, first thing you grab in an emergency stop is brake. Mine is a '15 Ultra.
