Replied back!

I have had issues with the rear brake light switch as well.  Simple changeout, take about 15 minutes.

I am going to go along with SIKBIRD.  Ride it and change at your 5000 mile interval.  I am not a motorcycle tech, but I am a 40+ year ASE master tech so I have seen inside an engine or two.

I only change mine at 5,000 mile intervals…life often gets in the way of fun so sometimes I change it every year but most of the time it takes 2 years to hit the mark.  Last year I changed the inner cam bearings and tensioner shoes and noticed no issues within the cam chest or top end after 10 years of servicing this bike that way.  I say ride it until you hit 5,000 miles.  Now someone will be along shortly to discuss how doing this not only destroys your engine but also means you don’t love Jesus.

IN the fall of 2022 I had the lifters and cam bearings replaced in my 2016 CVO limited as well as a 3 hole oil change. Shortly after that the bike went into winter storage in my heated garage. In 2023 my wife was sick so we did very little riding. LIke 1,000 miles is all.

My question is should I do another 3 hole oil change now after only 1,400 miles but it has been 18 months? I think I know the answer but am just being too cheap to tell myself what I need to hear.

All the maintenance schedules only mention miles, not time.

Thanks for the help!

i would start by unpluging the switchs one at a time  rear might be first place i would go

2016 CVO limited.

Took my first ride of the year today and while I am going down the road the red light on the dash came on and stayed on until I was pulling up to a stop sign. I got home and checked, my brake lights are staying on. I tried moving both the front and rear pedal/lever to get the lights to go out but they stay on. I have read about one switch or the other sticking but not both. How do I go about determining which switch it is if any? Of course the cruise control is inoperable now as well but I figure that is related to the brake lights being on.

Thanks for the help!

PS. yes I did search and search and search but found nothing for this year and model

Back together now and ran it for 20 min on the lift (with a fan ), so far so good. test ride next ! Thanks for the observations .
