RE: Cruise control
Great timing. My '03 RKC just died yesterday--at the Myrtle Beach Bike Week--565 miles from home with the local dealer not having ANY appointment--until late next week. I called Wilmington,NC and spoke to Kris who suggested that I check the fuse (no luck) and the spade connectors on the throttle release (two spade connectors on the frame just in front of the fuel tank (no luck). Could be the brake light switches (front or rear) or a ground that's shorting the electricalal system, spoofing a "brake light activation. Good luck. Riding home Wednesday--hope someone else has a better suggestion...

RE: Cruise control
Hope you had a great time at the beach, I have tried about everything on mine with no luck, I went to the HD dealer and the parts guy made a copy of the cruise part of a repair manual but it doesnt really help at all. I was wanting to know what the resistance was suppose to be on the throttle rolloff switch but no one seems to know, on mine theres no contunuity at all, Hell I know there should be some, when I move it I get an ohlm reading, that tells me that somethings got to be wrong with it or at least I hope so, anyway I ordered a new cable assembly, and I am keeping my fingers crossed. If anyone knows what the resistance should be please let me know. Thanks C.H.

RE: Cruise control
I found the problem with my cruise, the throttle rolloff switch thats located in the throttle return cable was bad, its a simple little switch when working properly it will have 12 volts on one terminal and when you twist the throttle towards the idle mode it squeezes and makes contact, if you have 12 volts on both wires at idle yours may be bad too. I would unplug one side of it and go ride if the cruise works you have found your problem too. Happy cruising C.H.
