| Description of the problem | Finally got the bike back after 7 days in the shop. I was entering the highway under acceleration and the bike went into limp mode. I managed to pull over to the shoulder without getting run over. Called the local hd dealer from the shoulder. When i got off the phone the bike started normally, so i rode it directly there with the service engine light on. They kept it all week to replace the vehicle speed sensor. It was delivered to my house 7 days later and rolled into the garage. Started to take it out the next morning. Got about 1 mi away before it went into limp mode. I was accelerating from a stop light, turning left. Made it to the gas station on the corner without getting hit. Called hd. Again bike started normally with service engine light on. Rode it to the shop. Now they said another code has been reported for the twist grip sensor which was already replaced at another hd dealer about 1 hour from here. Now they have had it 4 days and have no idea how long it will be this time. This is at least the 5th time i have had the bike in for service due to it going into limp mode primarily upon acceleration. Each time there is a different code. One dealer replaced the entire fuel injection system. At this point i have no idea what is wrong, but i do think there is a serious problem with the entire electrical system. This is my primary mode of transportation, and lately the bike has spent more time in the shop than at home. |
