If it doesn't have one already, ou might want to try the fork air baffle

It helps cut down the wind coming from over the front of the tank. Made a huge difference on my Ultra.

On your CC you might have too much slop in the throtle cables or they are binding a little, make sure the throtle returns to idle easily. The manual has a set procedure for this.

IS a possability.........I just picked up the bike outside of Charlotte 3 weeks ago.......changed grips in the hotel parking lot & have only been able to ride it the 1 time when I noticed it wouldn't engage.....
I'll get home this week at some point & look at throttle adjustment as well as to make sure my foot brake switch isn't stuck......
Thanks.

2nd, My CC isn't engaging....Switch on, Red light in the speedo (or tach??) is on, but won't go green or engage......I work on the road & will look at the throttle line adjustments and check out to see if the rear brake switch is stuck on, but other than that any ideas on what to check??
Thanks!!!!!!

This may be a dumb response, but on my UG (don't have a RG), you gotta turn the CC on (then you get the red light on the speedo) but to engage it you need to use the Set/Decell, Resume/Accel switch on the right handgrip. Didn't see anyone else mention this, and I'm sorry if this is too obvious to post...just tryin' to help.

well if you just installed grips I will bet you broke the front brake switch. There is a small plastic plunger that will break off under the hand brake lever if not done properly. Quick check is to see if the brake light is on all the time.
