Cruise control wasn't working, was installed by the previous owner. I read up and found out it was probably the Kisan lights I had put in. Figured it would be a 2 minute fix to swap out the bulbs. Wrong. Still didn't work. Checked all the wrong things first and stripped my bike half apart.
All said and done it was a good learning experience. Now I know what I would have done - swapped the bulbs, done a test LED on the cruise control servo, realized that the brake signal wasn't going through, checked the brake wire, realized that the purple wire from the servo wasn't connected to the brake wire.
Took me all morning and numerous test rides to figure it out! The tail-light assembly is a hassle to get into, must have pulled the purple wire out of a crimp when I was installing some Hyperlites (which work fine with the cruise control). Never noticed it was out because I've just been riding in the city, gearing up for a trip next month and realized the cruise wasn't engaging.
