Up shift also turns off CC.

Then you can't upshift. Upshift does cancel cruise control. Idaho is absolutely right. What you are implying is that downshifting from first gear does not cancel cruise control either. You can't downshift from first gear so same situation.

Gee……we are really making a mountain out of a molehill here. Most unlike Spyderlovers  Most people are running in 6th on a freeway. That is the reason I only said “downshift” as there is no upshift possible. Of course CC will cancel if you downshift OR upshift if that option is available to you 
Besides that, my comment was in relation to Idaho saying that BRP wanted you to use your brakes to show the vehicle behind that you were braking. I was simply pointing out the flaw in that argument, but it has now been taken down a different, effectively unrelated, rat hole

Yes you are right you can't upshift if in 6th gear. But my goldwing if you were in top gear ( 7 ) and hit the upshift button it would disengage cruise control.

Would have been very nice if BRP had incorporated a setup where when cruise control is engaged in sixth gear at upper highway speeds, selecting the paddle in the upshift direction would disengage the cruise control.
Certainly no plans to accomplish a 6>5 downshift at 80 mph, and tapping the brakes at that speed is a bit odd too, but what is required. With the fragility of many of the Spyder controls, I too leave the cruise control always on.
Years ago, I sorted out the electrics to utilize a cruise control disengage system. Just never took the time to wire it up. Maybe it is time to revisit this and make it happen.

I tap on the brake. It trips the Cruise control and sort of warns the guy behind me I'm dropping speed.
Sometimes I'll drop a gear due to a need to drop a gear knowing it will trip the CC
