Angry Cruise Light (Orange) Stays On!!!!

Cruise works, but the orange light doesn't go off! Last time it was the clutch switch, but last time the orange light would only go on when the security light came on!! Dealer replaced the switch and it was fine for about 3000 miles. Now this... any ideas? Thanks

Mine stays on too. I think you have to flip the switch off that is at the base of the handle bars that says "cruise". It is like a power switch to your cruise. Cruise won't work if it is off. Haven't read my manual yet but I assumed it was normal since salesman showed me I had to have that flipped on for it to work. I'll try flipping it off on my ride home from work and see if light goes off.

You are correct...

The orange light will always be on unless you push the cruise switch next to the ignition switch to turn it off. Also, that "dash" switch should show a light too.

You want to make sure that when your cruise engages the light turns Green indicating your bike is on cruise. Once you disengage the cruise it will be orange again until you manually turn it off at the "dash" switch.

I leave mine on all time...Orange until engaged and Green when "engaged / on".

Oh and a friendly reminder that cruise won't engage over 85 MPH.

It won't do an initial engagement? Can you hold the accel. button to set beyond 85? Is this something new?

I've turned mine off and on at the handlebar and the orange light in the dash still stays on all the time. At least the cruise engages when I hit the cruise set button. Any other ideas?
