Cruise control test proved a success; no cruise control

Check that your brake light bulbs are good (not blown) and that they operate correctly (stepping on the rear brake operates the bulb and it comes off after, same for the front.) Any malfunction of this system will prevent the cruise control from operating properly. Also some after market additional brake lights installed may do the same.

The fact that the neutral light does not show up on the dash may indicate that the gear position indicator is not calibrated correctly. Does the bike start with the clutch pulled in?

Rear accordion oil loss. Drive end or gearbox? Thanks
