'00 Voyager XII Cruise control ?

[k7nutN7nut]

To reconnect your cable remove the trim around the headlight, carefully as there are plastic tabs on it and some folks have broken them off accidentally when removing. Once that's removed pull the headlight out and let it hang, shine a light in there and you should see easily where the cable screws back on.
I would suggest taking it off at the wheel and blowing some cable lube through it before you put it back on. Just an option!

Scott, again, thanks for the heads up!
I had already come to grips with the task of removing the Port side fairing to re-connect...something to the speedo!?
After closer inspection, meaning I removed the tape like substance the PO wrapped the end of the speedo cable with, I found that the end of the cable was NOT fraid & busted up, but the "collar" that prevents the threaded ring from slipping off, had been compromised. Since I have delt with this on my KLR before, I knew just what to do! After I found my pipe flair maker...I fixed the cable end. And your tip about going in through the head light hole...Priceless!

I then...of course, had to go for a "test ride"!?
The automatic audio gain worked as before, the turn signal cancellation worked as before...however, the "on" light comes on for the cruise, but the "set" light does not, meaning, the cruise will not "engage"!?
So, it's back in the shop, waiting for me to look at it. Not sure what to look for?
The first thing I thought was the fuse, but the "on" light comes on, therefor, the cruise has power...!?
It's late, but I think I'll look at the manual before I go to bed...thanks again Scott for the tip!

Hello from NJ, The first thing I ( listen ) for is the sound the (2) switchs make on the front brake. One is for the brake and the other is for the cruise. Dirt can build up there and wear the plunger down to the point where it will not trip the micro switch. Turn off all noise in your shop or shed and listen as you work the lever . You should hear two tic's. Sometimes its possible to just loosen the phillips head screw underneath that hold them in place and tweak it just enough to get them to both work. Gene Kap.

Thank you Gene for yet another tip, I will try that today. Not having Cruise Control is a bit annoying...I don't recommend you try it!
And it's not enough that you "DON'T" use it, I mean when something go's wrong and you "CAN'T" use it...that's a bummer!

I'll post my findings.

OK, I did manage to get out to the shop and check it out and honestly...I can't tell you what I did...or if it was me, but she works now!
I did check the "clicks" on the front brake, there ok, doing good...the rear brake however, I need to adjust that one out a bit, it's way too touchy!
I guess I will always be working on, tweaking something on this and the KLR, heck, after after the Voyager and a "test ride" of course!
The wife and I worked in the garden area, getting ready, then it was time te re-build the TRX carb. It never ends...?
Thanks for all the tips y'all have passed on!

You know, I can tell I've been riding the Voyager ALOT, I took the KLR down to the store for something, haven't ridden it in awhile...man, I felt like a "stranger" on it, my hands were too close together, my feet were too close to each other and the thing was lite and seemed "under powered"...however, the front end comes up on any take off...if I let it!?
It's so hard to believe, I've been riding it for almost 9 years!?

Well, I tried a few different things, but, how it works is, I have to "lift" the R. brake pedal with my foot in order for the cruise to "engage"?
Oh well, I even pulled the cover over the switch on the brake pedal and adjusted it, but it still needs that "push"...oh well, it works!?

[Bruce in OK]

It might be as easy as lubing the pedal lever's pivot so it will move more freely.

Worth a try.

You might also want to check the gear on the front wheel, those are a problem point also it could be causing a drag on the speedo, pop the seal off clean old grease off and inspect the gears if ok repack with syn-grease, most people don't keep that cleaned & greased till they break, then you got to replace the whole thing, it's treated like the red-headed step child!!

[k7nutN7nut]

Bruce, mala, both good points, I'll add that to the list of things to do.
I'm still "looking into" this oil leak I have...the Jury is still out!?
