    Got an 08 780 and the cruise won't work, I have looked at the fuse diagram in the center console, can't find any thing that says cruise control, I did find one that says
    Remote throttle increment ( relay R16)
    And one says
    Remote throttle decrement( RELAY R17)
    And I can't find thim under the dash

    Cruise control is the VECU software function. Sk first of all check all the conditions of c/c, like pedal switches, steering column switch, VSS.

    Usually if you ride on bad roads clutch spring goes weak and clutch switch is always on and c/c disables

    I had that problem as well and the problem is probably with switches as mentioned before. A way of telling is to apply upward pressure with your toe on the brake pedal and then the clutch pedal while attempting to engage the CC. If it locks on, you know the pedal switch is the problem. You have to hold the pressure on the pedal while trying this. If that works then get a small bungee cord (black) and hook that up so it pulls the pedal up. This will work until you can get it to a shop.
