How to hook up the brake SPDT relay is here:

Note: The motorcycle taillight brake wire color of Blue with a Red Stripe
before the connector and solid Blue after the connector is for a Kawasaki
C14 only. Your taillight brake wire color will be different.
It is CRITICAL that you verify that you have a good connection between the
SPDT relay and the motorcycle brake light wire. This is the connection that
shuts the cruise off when you press on either brake. After you have made
all the connections verify proper operation by turning the ignition on with
the engine off, press on the brake and you should hear Murphs’ accessory
relay click. If you don’t hear a click, the relay is not working and the cruise
might not shut off. Find the problem and fix it before you ride your bike.
Also note that the motorcycle brake light must be working for the cruise to
the cruise to work correctly.
Pre-Ride Testing:
After you have everything hooked up, verify proper operation of the Servo
by removing the plate on the Servo housing where the wiring harness is
installed.
With the engine off and the ignition on. Turn on the cruise at the Cruise
Control Keypad. Look into the servo housing where the wiring harness is
installed.
The Red LED should blink once as the Set and Resume buttons are
pressed.
Start the bike and leave it in neutral: Turn on the cruise and look into the
servo housing where the wiring harness is installed. The Red LED
should be blinking. Increase the engine RPM’s and the LED should flash
faster. This confirms that you have a good tach signal.
With the bike off but the cruise on: When you press on either brake the
Red LED should be continuously lit. The Red Led should go out when
you release the brakes.
The Purple Servo wire must be connected to chassis ground for the
Cruise to turn on. The Purple Servo wire must also have +12 VDC
applied to it to shut the cruise off. That’s why you need the relay.
If you pass these tests you’re ready for your test ride. If not, see the
troubleshooting section below:
