is the brake light on continuously. that's usually a symptom to affect cruise not engaging.

What year is the bike? There is a plunger switch usually at the clutch lever. Sometimes a shot of wd 40 in that switch gets it going again.

What year??

Is the amber light coming on in the cluster when the switch is on?
Does it turn green when setting? If not, brake and clutch switches should be checked first.

Again, this OP is so vague, we don't know much. You could just be telling us a story with that little of information.

Help us help you.

In addition to the brake and clutch switches check the switch on the fairing. Twisting the throttle upwards also cancels the cruise but that may be sensed through electronics.
