[QUOTE="wfooshee, post: 736421, member: 6354"] The blue wire carries a pulse, not a voltage, so DC volts will be useless on that wire. If it engages and then immediately disengages then it's not the brake light connections. If those were flaky it wouldn't engage even momentarily. OTOH, there is no non-riding unloaded test for engagement. It will [I]not[/I] engage on the centerstand; there's not enough load and the speed changes too quickly, which makes it think it's a runaway engine. If that's where you're seeing what you report, then that would be expected. You may just have too much slack in the bead chain. If the cruise cable moves a certain amount with no monitored change in speed, or if it moves too quickly even with a matching speed change (like on the centerstand) it assumes a fault somewhere and disengages. You want as close to zero slack in the bead chain as you can manage, but not less than zero slack. Also check switch 7. Don't recall off-hand which way it should be, but GenII bikes seem to prefer that switch opposite the earlier recommended Gen I setting. You might check for a sticky brake pedal. If that pedal doesn't return well after using the rear brake the brake lights remain on, and the cruise will refuse to engage. [/QUOTE]
