My cruise control decided to be finicky coming on for several weeks. The green light would come on like it was working, but the bike wouldn't go into cruise. After fiddling with it several times, it would light up green and go ahead and work. Now it has stopped working altogether. The indicator light stays red. I have sifted through several other threads about non-working cc's, but none of them seem to fit my problem. I also have an older bike than most of the others, so I'm wondering if the same diagnostic tricks will work on mine as well. Thanks in advance!

 

I don’t suppose you have the electric diagnostic manual for your bike? Cruise control problems are explained and how to diagnose in that manual. Brake switch could cause problems with cruise as can a faulty roll off switch on your throttle cable for starters.

 

Mine went crazy on ride to Myrtle Beach last year. Cruise would come on for awhile and then go off also gas gauge would not work. Long story short had a bad neutral light switch in clutch lever. Replaced and that fixed problem.

 

 

Front/back brake malfunction certainly sounds like a faulty brake switch, which as mentioned can cause cruise to not work.

 

See if this is any help .... from the 2006 Elec Diag manual
