Description of the problem	Motorcycle surges unexpectedly and then also loses throttle control. The first incident i was pulling out of a parking lot into traffic and as soon as i got into the traffic lane motorcycle lost all throttle response but motor was still running. Traffic was a 4 lane street with speed posted at 35 mph. There was no shoulder and only a curb. I had nowhere to pull over. I almost got hit by several passing vehicles. I had a check engine light come on at the time i lost throttle response. I shut off ignition and cycled power a few times and the light went off and i had throttle response again. The check engine light has come on several times and went into what harley davidson repair calls limp mode. I have had the bike in service shop several times with no prevail on fixing problem. The other item the motorcycle is doing is, the bike throttle surges unexpectedly. I was pulling up to a traffic light, just as i was going to stop the throttle revved up causing me to go into the intersection almost getting hit and losing control of the bike. I believe the problems is related to the electrical or computer system of the bike. The repair shop says ? It? S a loose wire or connection? But they have spent several hours over several months trying to find it. Both the unexpectedly surges and loss of throttle control have happened several more times. This is a very dangerous situation. I have almost lost control of the bike several time because of it.
