Rode the motorcycle on the Interstate using cruise control at 70 MPH and suddenly the cruise control cut-off with no warning. Vehicle directly behind me nearly rear-ended me. This happened twice so I no longer can use cruise control. VERY DANGEROUS. After further troubleshooting it appears the Motorcycle Gear position sensor is flakey and will cause the computer to see the wrong gear selected and disable cruise control. This is intermittent. Apparently this is extremely common on the Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 series motorcycles.
