Annoyingly, my '21 RTL will only cancel Cruise by touching the brake pedal or downshifting - are there any other ways?

The cruise button turns on the cruise initially and it stays on until you shut the engine down. Once you use the set button to pick a speed you can cancel the set with a press of the cruise button, at least on the 2024 RTL

2021 cruise button stays in the on position and turning off doesn’t change that. Refire and the cruise will be on.

There is already a button on the handle bars, the cruise button also cancels the cruise.

Now you have an idea. Alter the switch so that it’s sprung into the ON position and doesn’t snap to OFF, then you could cancel cruise via flicking it OFF, but it wouldn’t turn off…

You will still have to push set, as resume speed is lost.

My take away here is that there are three "flavors" of RTs, each with a unique set of instruments and controls. Early, pre 2020; middle, 2020-2023; and late, 2024 and +. I will endeavor to only assist others with a similar vintage of RT like mine in the future to avoid confusion.
