Just rode an 09 Road King, had the fly-by-wire throttle act up during the ride and remained in idle with no throttle response, despite restarting. Had to let it sit for an hour or so, before it could start up normally with a throttle response.

Another hour into the ride, the problem came back.

Anyone else had better luck with the 09 electronic throttle?

 

My '08 Street Glide has no problems. I even put new grips on and it still works.

 

Torch it ,collect the ins.money,buy an 05,problem solved

 

This was an issue on early '09's. Pull the codes out of the speedo. Take to a dealer and they will replace the twist grip sensor. We had about 4 of them. No problems on 08's or '09's since.

 

Boy, aren't electronics great? Until they aren't.

 

Damn those 09's, glad I've got an 08

 

a friend had that problem,check thr wire at the unit under the injectors.his wire had a bad bend at the f b w unit causing it to stop working intermittenly

 

09 rkc no problems at all

 

Sounds classic. Sensor not dialed-in to the 0 to 5V signal is move the sensor to center (sorta find the middle between WOT (wide open throttle) and idle, (or closed throttle say).

Next is your connectors are just not male into female or the wire on one of the connectors is pushed out and just touching are some wire shorts/no signal type sensor defaults as in the sensor is good is it the wire (harness) or connector in between the ECM and the sensor itself, meaning the grip.
