Tachometer and cruise control
On my 2005 GL 1800 the cruise control and tachometer both stopped working at the same time. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Re: Tachometer and cruise control
The cruise control monitors the engine speed via the same pulse line that drives the tachometer. So if that pulse line is malfunctioning, both your tachometer and cruise control will stop working.

Re: Tachometer and cruise control
Is there a way to test that without taking the whole bike apart?

Re: Tachometer and cruise control
I would check the connectors on the FI ECM. The tach signal comes from it and runs to the cruise control module and the gauges for the tachometer to use. You just have to pull the seat and shelter off to reach the ECM.
