hav'n trouble with the cruise control

[dueyk1111]

go'n down the road, set's just fine n works fine, but as soon as i hit a big bump it kicks itself off, then i get 4 flashes of the cruise lites. checked the manuel and it tells me that there is something wrong with the speed sensor. checked the wiring and plug ins. just don't know what to check next. any ideas.

Any chance that you have leather fringes on your clutch and brake levers? If they flap enough they might put enough pressure on the sensors.

got nothing on the levers, have also pushed out on the levers and up on the foot brake, think'n the same thing you were. got me bewilderd. thats why i need fresh input. maybe my speed sensor is go'n bad but it shows no other problems:think:

Fault code "4" would point towards "speed sensor". Check wiring, check speed sensor, etc... The wiring may be there but check up and down its entire length for breaks, If nothing found... check ALL wiring to cruise control unit.

If your clutch and or brake levers are worn they can shake and kick the cruise off. Mine clutch handle wore out and I had to replace the switch also.

Try riding with your fingers behind the clutch pushing outward, then do the same with the front brake and of course with cruise on. May tell a story.

all ready rid'n with my hands behind the levers with pressure, still goes off on the same bumps!
