Having problems with cruise control on my 05' Road Glide. Started acting up a couple of months ago. It would disengage whenever I hit a bump, on it's hit and miss to get it to engage....anyone else have this problem?
What should I checl first?

 

Mine started to act up after it was washed. Then it started to do exactly what your is doing. I unplugged the roll of switch on the throttle cable, located on the neck and that took care of it. So I need a new throttle cable. I just left mine unhooked as I never used the throttle roll off. Try starting there 1st.

Good Luck

 

on my 06 road king classic had the return spring for the front break get week, when the cruise was on & hit a bump the lever would jump & turn the cruise off,, just as if you had applied the frt break.. just a thought,, it took me a while to figure it out....

 

Same here. Something was loose in behind the button. I just wiggled the switch while applying some pressure and all has been good since then.

 

The cruise control has a self diagnositc. It will tell you which switch is not working. Follow the manual. It is simple.

 

Has anyone ever lubed the cable?

 

I had the same issue. Also occurred when i met semi's on windy days. The problem was a torn boot over the cruise control sensor in the switch housing.
Some folks, who have heavy leather lever covers, the braids tend to catch wind and cause lever to actuate brake lights and trip cruise control off.
