- Cruise Control Fix for Honda Goldwing. In this short video I will show you one thing to check for if you are having issues with your Cruise Control on your 2001-2017 Honda GoldWing. It simply could be the small Bushing on the clutch lever handle or one of the 2 micro switches which detect whether the clutch is pulled in or not. Have not fear...If MEMPHISMIKE can fix it, YOU can too, as I am not the Best of Wrenches in town. Thank you for watching and do not forget to hit the LIKe Button, Leave a Comment and SUBSCRIBE!

It works it feels as though it shifts smoother and cruise control sets and resets with zero fails
Thanks for posting. I just recently started having problems with my 06. I"ll definantly check this out. Thanks again.
You can buy the entire kit to change the clutch and brake from wing stuff "do not just change the clutch", should also use some silicone grease to keep it lubed. If you can move your levers up and down replace bushings.
Just wanted to say thanks. I had the exact symptoms on my cruise control and came upon your video. That was the problem, a little $10 bushing. Easy fix.
Hey MM,
Had to change that part as well. The challenge I had was getting the screw back in. Quite a challenge. Took me much more than 5 minutes. Appreciate your video. Thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks Memphis Mike, The small brass bushing didn't fix my cruise control but it let my clutch get back to normal. I will look at the next part to replace to see if that will fix me cruise control. Thanks very much for all your knowledge. KC Dave
Thank you Mike for another awesome video/tutorial. 👍😊
Thanks Mike for the informative video about the clutch bushing great video thanks Mike.
Simple inexpensive fix. Thanks for the info
OK. That's done. Time for a Cigar.☺ Good info Mike. Thanks for a tip that only a long time wing owner can offer. Good video.
🤣 Shoulda had one while doing the repair! See, I needed Dano here so i could kick back and relax while he did the work!
A little grease on that bushing and bolt would sure help. Like your videos Mike,very helpful!
Thanks for the tip!
Mike, my man, still pumping out the good content.
Tryin to Brutha Freddie!
I want to thank you for your video, it help a lot.
Great video MM, also sometimes your rear brake lever can stick (especially aftermarket levers) and cause your CC not to engage also. Thanks again, keep doing what you are doing brother!
Like many others, thanks Mike. I had exact same problem but mine just needed a clean and bit of grease. Good as new.
Thanks MemphisMike! Once again, you’ve saved my bacon! 😂. Videos like these are a lasting help tool.
Stay Healthy & Ride Safely, my friend!
Fantastic. Glad i could help!
Awesome tech tip MM. very good video my friend!!🇺🇸🙏🏻😎👍🏻
Thanks. Worked like a charm.
Would like to add that for some reason the original bushing had the hole goes all the way through thus allowing the loose handle. The replacement bushing hole doesn't go through all the way letting the cable/plunger to push against the back thus much more fitting and no more loose fitting.
I suspect the bushing is wearing of and the hole gets punched through.
Nevertheless, great video. Thanks.
Love it Mike ty for the education.
Thanks so much for posting this video. I was about to pull my right hand switches apart thinking that was the problem and assumed I'd have to replace them. But in fact after watching this I discovered pushing forward on the clutch handle I could engage cruise control. I ordered the bushing and sure enough, when I pulled out the old one it was pretty badly worn. Cruise control works great now. You saved me many hours of frustration and many hundreds of dollars in unnecessary replacement parts.
Glad to hear!!!
Glad you turning a wrench now you the MAN
Dont get use to it 😂😂
Although not having problems with mine at this point this was an informative video. Thanks. Looks like my question about lubricating this bushing might be a good idea was answered. New subscriber from Ontario, Canada. Enjoying the videos.
Glad this helped you out. Thank you so much
My issue is that when I barely touch the cruise control button itself, the Cruise Control light flickers on and off. I'm sure it's probably gooped up, so I'll have to disassemble the switch and clean it out. However, I'll also replace this bushing at the same time! An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure! Thanks for the great tip!
Yep. Might as well take care of the bushings while doing it. Use a good electrical contact cleaner. Squirt or 2 should be fine
Your fix worked. Thank you
Glad to hear!
Good to know. Thanks.
Good to know, thanks for the tip.
Great information. Also the front and rear brake levers effect the cruise control. But you got it. The clutch is used much more then the brakes look there first.
Yep you got it! and the brake side has caused issue before. The clutch side seems to happen more frequently to me.
Great Video 👌🏽
Love your videos bro!!!🇺🇸⭐️💫Hoosier Wing!!
You got me scratching my head MM (wondering if I got ripped off at the dealer), good video and I'm glad you shared this info.
What happened with you?
@@MemphisMike901 I let the dealer switch out the handlebars with Heli-bars I had bought, my cruise control became an issue afterwards. When the dealer did the warranty repair on my engine the problem was gone. I never had a good feeling about the shop that change out my handle bars. Since both repair took place back to back I didn't have a clue what caused the problem, "was it a simple fix" like you showed in your video? I'll never know for sure.
Good video, keep it up!
Awesome quick fix money saving tech tip.
Saves money to buy more video gear 😂😂
Worked perfect
Good to hear!
Just wanted to say Thankyou, you saved me alot of time and money on a 95 goldwing I recently purchased, it has a little over 100 thousand miles on it, that bushing was really out of shape, awesome bike though, and now my cruise control works..Thankyou.
Glad I could help..... thanks for sharing.....somtimes what seems like a big fix is really simple! Ride safe!
@@MemphisMike901 Thanks again Mike, my wife and I rode this morning out across Pat Mayes damn and back, bout 50 miles round trip, cruise control works great, appreciate your videos..Safe riding to you too..
Thanks
For what it’s worth I had an issue with the switch down by the rear brake pedal. Sometimes you need to adjust that so it makes better pressure contact. Many times I would have to lift up from underneath the pedal with my toe while riding to get the cruise control to engage..
Thank you for the tip!
Had these issues with my 2007. Good video!
Would you Lube bushing or not?
@@MemphisMike901 I might put a dab of silicone grease. But not sure uf it is absolutely necessary.
Great tip, thanks! I would have used a quality marine grease to the bushing and pivot bolt on reassembly.
Michael Schroeder I think actually I am just going to go ahead and order new pivot bolt as well. Bike is 12yrs old. Little preventive maintenance goes a long way!
I just got a 2009 with only 5000 miles. The bushing seems new. I get the cruise light on the dash but the set and accel buttons dont seem to activate it. I’ll check that second part out.
Thanks Mike, i can't figure out why my cruise control wont engaged, i tried pushing the clutch lever forward and then press the SET to cruise button with the cruise control option ON, still didn't work. Maybe it's the micro switch or both the bushing and switch.. will give them a shot at it..
My cruise control problem has to do with the front brake lever. You have to push the front brake lever out and simultaneously engage the cruise control button which is a little tricky. Have an 07 GL1800.
Replace that bushing and/or lever. Later down the road had same issues
Dano is the man!
I think I'll keep him around for a while! 🤣
I keep at least 2 extra bushings on hand at all times. I use special anti seize grease (worth) , it’s a copper based grease,very high temp , very slippery. Since I’ve been using that grease ( 25+ years ) I’ve only used 1 bushing in 15 years. During the off season I go over the entire bike , front to back top to bottom. You never know what you will find during a thorough maintenance inspection . Long Island NY
Great tip! thanks for that info! i seem to blow thru them regularly.
MemphisMike Hey Mike , I had the wrong spelling it’s WURTH and the part number is. CU1100 hi adhesive lubricant. It’s pretty expensive I use it for many applications.
Thanks for the video Mike. I think this repair may be in my future as my clutch has a little play. Is the new bushing directional or can it go in either way?
it goes in one way.
Hey Mike sup , could that maybe be the reason why some of the goldwings have problems with the clutch because of that bushing? because the clutch isn't fully encaged or not. I mean some goldwings do have clutch / shifting issueus and needs to be serviced and disassembled . I was just wondering , dunno if it is really related to it ?
And an other question , i like to see a vid on how to remove and install the front lower cowl propperly , the part where the foglights are behind . Can't find a vid nowhere ....If you are in able to ofc ....thanks in advance much appriciated
Good job, MM.
Thanks Richard. Ever had this issue?
@@MemphisMike901 Yes, caught me by surprise on my 1500 2 weeks after I bought it. Too me a few min. to figure it out. I read about it on a forum and when I checked it, yep looked just like yours. I went ahead and changed the other side too. There is a cruise switch on that side also. Great vid, Thanks for the work.
Richard Griffin in your experience, would you “lube” the bushing as well?
@@MemphisMike901 I did light coat but they are designed not to have lube, but I am old school. LOL
One thing that was not covered is put a light coating of grease on the new bushing, in the hole where the push pin sits and the pivot pin for the assembly.
That is a good point there. I usually do not as I fear it may attract dirt. Then again that could be part of my issue. Does the Manual recommend that as well?
I'm an old farm boy. Anything that moves gets lubricated. I worked in a Honda shop after retirement and quit in 02 when I broke my back..it doesn't draw as much dirt as you might think. Even an occasional drop of spray lube will help. Don't forget the brake lever either. I love your channel.
Jim Wolf thank you Jim. Appreciate your response. Yep, I have had brake side issues before. In fact, last year I replaced BOTH levers they were so worn out. Even new bushings/micro switches did not fix completely!
@@MemphisMike901 The Honda service manual does state to use silicone grease. Page 294 of my copy reads: "...Apply silicone grease to the push rod hole in the clutch lever joint piece. Apply silicone grease to the clutch lever pivot. Insert the push rod into the hole in the joint piece to install the clutch lever assembly onto the master cylinder.
Install and tighten the pivot bolt..."
Thank you!
thank you. i learned about this, but didnt know where it was or how to change it. how did you put those and grips on? i tried, but could not do it. thanks
Grip puppies easily go in using an air compressor and working them on
Tks for the info MM
Can you get tha bushing at the Honda dealer or where else?
yes. or Partzilla.com
Lubricate it more often. That will help it last longer. That's the part that grinds and is noisy when operating your clutch!
Great Video Memphis Mike. I have a question about Cruise Control where you engage it it stays on all the time, how would you solve that problem. I believe it's the grease got old and makes button contact stuck. I have sprayed with electronic spray along with silicone spray to no avail. It functions fine it's just the cruise light stays on all the time. I'm in on the autographed covers. I have 2002 gl 1800 similar color.
Actually i leave mine on All the time. My guess would be the cruise switch and personally i would leave it on as well. I would fear if it shut off i would nit be able to engage it back on
@@MemphisMike901 Thanks I was thinking about getting Chrome levers now I know how to change them.
I have heard the chrome levers might cause issue with CC. I would confirm before buying. Yes the levers are really easy to completely remove!
Today my friend dump his bike because my HGW turn signal auto canceled after 500 feet when I tried to warn of a turn at 1000 feet., I did re-engage the turn signal, but for what every reason he did not keep his distances and tap my bike in the rear as he went down. I’ve seen forums for adding in relay and diodes but wondering if anyone has other ideas. You travel 500 feet in 8 seconds at 45mph. Now a days with so many distractions drivers have to be able warn of a turn earlier is a must for everyone’s safety. Thanks
Hello Memphis Mike! On a GL1500 Goldwing, have a non working Cruise Control too. Any suggestions? Similar fix?
Sorry. Never owned a 1500
Please share video about cruise control switch fix for 2006
Inhave one for my 2008
The CC on my 95 GL1500 wouldn't engage when I pushed the cruise button and at the same time I pushed the button my speedometer went to zero and stopped working also.
Any suggestions as to why ...? I thought it might be electrical since the bike had that "burning electrical smell when I stopped.
maybe a blown fuse ...?
Any ideas on this one ... before I take it to the dealer and pay a fortune to have it fixed \.
Unfortunately I have no experience with the 1500 model. Good luck and let us know what the verdict is.
Now here is a place for your anti-seize....
Need help with speedometer on my 1800 GL 2012. Is the actual sensor on the engine please..?!
I do not know
do you know what the micro switch part number is ? bushing didnt fix my issue
Look at parts diagram on Partzilla
How many miles are on your bike when you replace the bushing
I have about 84k this is 2nd or third time
What about older bikes like my 1991 Goldwing GL1500 Aspencade....... I took it to a car wash 3years ago and it has not worked since.
Time to trade it in. I have NO clue about the older bikes
I have an alternate question Mike. My 2006 goldwing with GPS has a blank screen. It turns on then goes to a steady dark blue. Any ideas? 😬😬
Out of league. Sorry
@@MemphisMike901 , Thanks anyway. Looks like it’s a computer issue. I guess it’s time to bite the bullet and bring it to my Honda dealer. I’m afraid of what it will cost.
@@MemphisMike901 , and I’m still glad I subscribed. Thanks for the quick response!
Sorry wish i could help. Try Cruisemans Garage or Chris Calientw
Is that the same on a 1500 ?
I have no experience with a 1500
Thanks may be my problem
Worth a shot to start with!
MemphisMike just wanted to mention this could be the same situation for the brake lever and there are micro switches at the front brake,rear brake and clutch if what Mike has shown doesn’t clear up your problem check these other areas. Love your vids MM
MemphisMike
My issue is on the brake lever, i was going to replace the micro switches but now I’m going to replace the bushing and pivot bolts, never thought to replace those, thanks for the info
Jay Thurman thus is true. 18months ago i replaced both levers. New sir h and bushing did nit even fix they were worn so bad
Thanks, great tip. For the same issue I had been to the dealer and solved the problem with the same method. Another question, my GL1800 2007, it has abs flashing issue. Sometimes it doesnt but mostly abs light is blinking. How can I solve this? Thanks
Regarding ABS i am not certain.
MemphisMike thanks
I think my cruise control button is just broken. It won't engage or disengage reliably.
That would be unfortunate. Would be a pricey $ fix.
I just got my 2012 on Sunday, and I'm finding the little issues here and there. Hopefully this won't be too expensive to fix.
Being a 2012 i am sure any issues should be small. Dies you cruise control button have any tension at all?
Man I can’t find that part on my RG 🤷🏼♂️🤣
CAROLINA WILDMAN It fell off while riding the Dragon 😂😂
🤣
How to fix cruise control switch on 2006 !!!
Should be same as my 2008
@@MemphisMike901 i talk about control switch in the button on right not Left , Press it to turn it on, it comes back again without stabilit , I want to know how I can remove it and fix it
@@MemphisMike901 please i want your help , thanks a lot
@@boulevardm109regypt3 typically that is the same issue we all have. It will not engage. You probably need to replace the micro switches on the left clutch side and perhaps the bushing in the clutch handle. Or, your clutch levee may be wore out. What is happening is, because those parts are wore out, the bike thinks the clutch is engaging and cutting the cruise control off. Try this. Get the bike up to speed…push you clutch lever OUT and see if CC will engage. If it engages but then goes back off after you release clutch, you have found your problem. Did i not cover this in the video?
@@boulevardm109regypt3 also, there is no CC control switch on the left side
Por que tanto bla bla bla bla ?
Because I Like Blah Blah Blahs
Why such a stupid comment?
