‘22 RT did something change on cruise control

You can do a preliminary self-test of the clutch switch. Key on, in gear, does the bike start with the clutch pulled. If so the switch would seem to be working I think.
On prior years a mere fraction of a tug on clutch lever would disengage cruise. RPM really shot up at the slightest lever movement today.

Check page 72 of the manual. Unless I’m reading incorrectly states clutch must be pulled in for 1.5 seconds to deactivate the cruise control.
Don't want to red line it since that's where it was headed with my slight pull. In fact, when I released the lever bike jumped forward, that engine was still pulling strong at the set 70 MPH. Guess I'll just go with tapping the brakes.

That's not good news. I like using the clutch to disengage without flashing the brake light.
Is this happening on a bike with Adaptive Cruise Control? I remember now that Adaptive Cruise Control does not disengage with gear changes, so the 1.5 second delay could be necessary. Is there also a delay when using Dynamic (fixed speed) Cruise mode?
OP here...I do not have adaptive cruise.
If you want a smooth transition from on to off increase the throttle to match current speed then turn off the cruise. Sure if you want it back you need to reset vs resume but that is so easy...
Since you have a 2022 and if it has Active Cruise Control I have to say it works very well, better then on the wife's Outback.

Roll the throttle forward to disengage the CC/ACC without the brake/clutch.
Take note, you have to actually force the throttle past the idle/close position. Takes a little bit of pressure.
It does work, but to me (at least) it seemed strange at first. I got used to it.
The manual states "close the throttle by turning the grip past the idle position".
Rock on.

I’m just assuming here the reason but changing gears up or down with the cruise control active does not disengage the cruise control setting as in some previous models. On my 2016 RS if I shift the cruise control turns off. This is not the case on the 2022 RT. Likely something to do with the throttle blimp during gear changes which must deactivate the clutch even momentarily.
Larry you're correct, I was surprised when I was able to change gears and the cruise didn't disengage like my 14R1200RT. I've always just twist the throttle off to disengage the cruise control if I'd like to keep it active but that has changed with Active Cruise Control.

This is the method I prefer. It seems to give me a softer disengagement than applying the brakes. I was actually pretty excited to see that I could use the shift assist pro with the ACC on and not have it disengage. I think it all works brilliantly.

It's still possible all the 2022 RTs are programed the same.
The 2022 R1250RS is not available with adaptive cruise and you can still disengage it with a quick tap of the clutch lever.

You should also be able to disengage cruise by just enough brake lever to activate the tail light, either front or rear without affecting speed. But yeah, I'd check the microswitch.
It's a dual-position switch, so the old test of trying to start in gear doesn't work, as that only tests the second position, and not the first.
