Yup. You can tell it's a Friday.

 

am i missing something here....you turn on the switch before you ride or even before yoiu start the bike.....start the bike, take off down the road and engage it using the thumb switch underneath the right grip....disengage it using the brake or the clutch for that matter. not rocket science.

 

Trun it on, leave it on. If the red light bothers you, a piece of black electrical tape or a little black paint will fix that.

 

Turn the throttle backwards (just takes a little) I find is the best way to disengage. Works good on the TBW better than the cable bikes. Atleast my 06 cable it just didn't feel good using that method.

 

......... oh jeezuz,
.... you 'lectro gliders think that's challenging, try changing CDs on a Road Glide in a crosswind !

 

didn't know that....guess i should read the book again....thanks for the tip.

 

I agree, you have to use your left hand to turn it on while you're in motion. It doesn't make sense that it's on the right side.
And yes, leaving it on all the time isn't an option for me either.
Damn! I was thinkin about this a while back and completely forgot to do anything about it when I had the front fairing and nacell off for some other mods.
Oh well, maybe next year. If I remember.

My vote is leave it on all the time.

 

Just leave it on!

As they say...."If it ain't broke, don't turn it off."

 

I agree. The switch is just a safety net in case the cruise goes haywire, and is only there to provide power. In fact, you could bypass it entirely and wire it directly (i.e. no switch), but I wouldn't do that.
