hammerdown90 Posted April 6, 2009 Share #1 Posted April 6, 2009 I was wondering If anyone knows how to get the electronic cruise on a 86 venture to stop kicking off when ever I hit a bump? It seems like the clutch lever has a little play and if not held all the way out while riding it kicks it off??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFWRSTD Posted April 6, 2009 Share #2 Posted April 6, 2009 I have an 05 RSTD and had the same problem. Ended up, the brake lever was loose so a small adjustment and all is good. Different bike but something to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunman Posted April 6, 2009 Share #3 Posted April 6, 2009 I have also heard that this can become a problem, when people add leather frilled lever covers. The frills can cause enough drag to engage the brake enough to deactivate the cruise. Just throwing that out therre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your clutch lever has freeplay....remove plastic guard and the pivot bolt....you'll see a round brass bushing sitting in the lever that activates the master cylinder pushrod. If the bushing isn't greased, it wears out, causing lever freeplay. New bushing about $5 from Yamaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
