could be a bad switch, had that happen on my 12 RKC. Also watch your voltage gauge, if that jumps around, your cruise will be inoperable, according to my recent experience.

check brake light switches

common that an owner removes the rt side controls with out reading the service manual and breaks the switch

Also check the roll off switch if you have one. I'm not sure how the tbw bikes do that though so it nay not apply.

So if you did this the brake light would always be on?....or just prevent the cruise from activating?

the light may be on, it may flash randomly...depends how it were broken

but if the ecm thinks the brake is applied it turns off the cruise- the icon in the tach will go from green to orange

OP, what does your icon show?
