Default Blinking Cruise Indicator
Have any of you experienced the cruise control light blinking red? It's a Street Glide that doesn't even have cruise on it, yet the light blinks continuously. The bike runs normally otherwise.

Thanks.
JD

That is the indicator for the ETIMS which cuts off the rear cyl when at idle and its hot. With the ignition on (the bike doesnt have to be started) when you roll the throttle forward and hold it for a few seconds the light will either blink red to indicate that the system is deactivated or green to indicate the system in active. The actual activation of the sytsem is automatic as long as the system is turned on (green light). Its seamless; you will just hear a difference in the sound of your engine.
