    How do I proceed, the cruise control appears to be a button to nowhere. What do I check next. Don’t know if it ever worked. The whirring in the front braking, hmmm hate taking these calipers off to check the bearings.

    I jacked it up. Tight, feels good while spinning. Going to just run the hell out of it till it breaks.

    Guess I could actually take it to a dealer. I’ve never had a bike new enough to take to the dealer...

    D0222783-07A0-483D-A6BD-892453A620DB.jpeg Nothing at all...50 mph in 5th gear..long push multiple pushes...no indicators on the gauges to indicate a cruise control. I’m thinking someone added the left control to fit cruise to the bike and failed. Other than that, this is the smoothest, easiest and almost fastest bike I have ever owned.

    The manual only mentions the cruise control.

    I do keep finding things to try here on the forum....such as this little dance...

    1. Turn on the ignition.
    2. Apply the front brake.
    3 Apply the rear brake.
    4. Apply the clutch.
    5. Close the throttle hard.
    6. Press the cruise control button.

    Then it should work...will give it a try.

    Cruise control is 1 press for ON and a 2nd press to activate. Need to be in 3rd or above to activate.

    FD2168D0-A3F7-48DF-BD01-B3B79B516A3F.jpeg Ok , the madness still prevails. Is there a wiring diagram available for this beast?

    Interesting read, thanks. When the bike shop is deemed essential, I’ll give them a visit. Would love to have the dealer shop manuals...

    I am so ready for this bullshit pandemic to be over with!
