Motorcycle Repair: 94 ultra classic, youtube video, classic question


Question
QUESTION: cruise control comes on when first starting out on ride 3 or 4 min. maybe then cruise light on dash goes out and quits working.Cruise button on lower dash light up and stays on but seems to have been replaced.Just got bike today not sure what all buttons are for labels wore off. Left hand little up and down button appears to be stuck in up position can push down but goes back up . Guessing this is accelerate and decelerate button.Left side button under turn signal button has been replaced with toggle switch guessing volume control.Radio does not come on ,have not tried the intercom or CB yet,will check in morning.Thanks a lot for any help you can give me, Erik.

ANSWER: It sounds like, first you will have to replace the buttons on the handlebars that dont work. Then see if the cruise works. If not, then you will have to check to see if it has power going to it. If it does then the cruise control is probably bad and needs replaced.
Same thing with the radio. You need to check to see if you have power going to it. If you do and it doesnt work then it probably needs to be removed and have it looked at by a radio repair service or replaced
good luck and happy riding

Answer
I cant comment ont he oils you are refering to since I have never used them. Fluids are a personnel preference. What one person likes another can hate it. Stick with a good quality SAE oil and you will do fine.
On the tranny, drain the oil from underneith the trans. With the bike sitting upright fill it to the mark on the dipstick. Dipstick is located on the trans on the right side of the bike.
When you fill the motor oil, its about 3.5 quarts, check it on the dipstick with the bike sitting upright
Good luck and happy riding
