Consumer Description

My Yamaha Super Tenere 1200 is doing the same thing as the ones under recall are, even though mine doesn't fall under the recall. The recall stops at the year 2020, and mine is a 2023. The cruise control will suddenly shut off, always after using the front brake lever. I've narrowed it down to the front brake micro switch, that deactivates the cruise and activates the brake light. This is the exact same problem on the bikes under the recall, but Yamaha refuses to do anything about it because it's not under the recall notice. I attached a recall notice that I found online, showing that a recall was valid for previous years. Having the cruise shut down unexpectedly is not safe, when running in traffic
