I WAS TRAVELLING DOWN THE ROAD WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. AS I WAS APPROACHING THE INTERSECTION WHERE I NEEDED TO TURN, I PULLED ON THE FRONT BRAKE LEVER TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL, BUT THE CRUISE DID NOT DEACTIVATE. I PULLED ON THE FRONT BRAKE LEVER SEVERAL TIMES AND THE ELECTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL WOULD STILL NOT DISENGAGE. I ENDED UP PRESSING THE CRUISE CONTROL "OFF" BUTTON AND IT FINALLY DISENGAGED. IMMEDIATELY AFTER TAKING THE TURN I SET THE CRUISE AT A LOWER SPEED AND ATTEMPTED TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE WAS STILL THERE - REPEATED APPLICATION OF THE FRONT BRAKE LEVER DID NOT DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. IT DID DISENGAGE EITHER WHEN THE "OFF" BUTTON WAS PRESSED OR WHEN THE REAR BRAKE LEVEL WAS PRESSED. WHEN THE MOTORCYCLE WAS NEW, PULLING THE FRONT BRAKE LEVER WOULD DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. HAD THIS HAPPENED IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION THERE WOULD HAVE ALMOST CERTAINLY BEEN AN ACCIDENT.
