I've never seen that - take the battery somewhere to be load tested, or, if I did see something like that, I'd just go grab a new battery and call it a day

Battery is on its fourth season so I dont feel bad replacing it. It wont hold a charge more than two or three days off a tender anyways. Oddly I put the meter back on it once I pulled it and now its acting fine. I really hope this solves my issues as no dealer in my area is willing to look at the bike before Im supposed to leave. Fingers crossed.

Ok. New battery no difference. Checked all my grounds and they look tight and clean.
As soon as I hit 3000 rpm the bike sounds like a machine gun out of the pipes. Pop pop pop. Real fast. Im running out of ideas here. I have to think the cruise issue and running rough are somehow related but I have no idea honestly.
Any other ideas?

Ok. Whew. I forgot that today when I was messing around trying to figure out the cruise control issue I stopped my auto tune session and flashed the bike. Apparently that map was corrupt somehow. Bike is now running well again. Worst situation is I go on my trip with no cruise control. Im man enough to deal with that.
Still looking for for advice on the CC problem. I know my warranty will cover it but theres no way I can get it done before I go so Ill keep plugging away pretending I know what the hell im doing.

Do you mean it jumped to 19 volts with the engine off? I don't know how that could be possible. If it did this with the engine on then you probably have a bad voltage regulator and that could quite possibly cause the cruise to not engage. Or, you've got some loose wiring somewhere.

Since you already had an issue with the front brake switch sticking causing a brake light to stay on and red dash light I would start there. As a temporary quick fix you can do like me and pop the brake lever out and add a dab of gasket maker or similar to the **** on the inside of the brake lever that actuates the light switch. A little bit of this fills the clearance gap and lets the light work the way it should. This would only work if its actually the plunger not fully retracting back out not if the switch itself is bad. Worth a shot and takes 5 minutes. If this does cure your problem be sure to rebuild the master cylinder when you get a chance
