Description of the problem	On march 2, 2013 while driving my bike, the throttle control disappeared and the bike went into limp mode. The dealership repaired it, then on july 7, 2013 it started acting up and i took it back to the dealership. They could not find any problems, the on october 3, 2013 while driving to las vegas i was on highway 99 when the bike went into limp mode. I was in the middle of two semi trucks with no throttle response with my wife on the bike. Luckily i was able to get over to the freeway shoulder. I had the bike towed to the dealership in bakersfield, they told me they know of the problem and repaired it again. No on november 1, 2013 it's starting to act up again. I have read on the harley forums that harley davidson knows of the problem and refuses to take ownership and issue a recall. The mechanic said the wiring harness connector was to short and the vibration of the engine is causing the connector to fail. The mechanic say the harness needs to be redesigned and replaced. This is a major safety problem and needs to be addressed, i'm hoping you can look not this.
