street glide problems
I tried to purchase a 2009 street glide from my local dealer yesterday. The bike is stock with Rinehart exhaust and a race tuner witha high flow air filter. Beautiful bike. Did a test ride and about 5 mins. into the ride the bike started to slow down and no matter how much I turned the throtle the engine would not run past 1800 rpms. I made it back to the dealer and he called it limp home mode. The bike had several codes of problems. I find out the previous owner traded the bike in due to the same problem. The dealer replaced the ECU hoping this was the problem. I find all this out after the test ride. No one told me about this during the sale. Thank goodness I did not give them any money. I think I will keep looking.

My '09 has never had this tbw issue. I think was mostly a problem that manifested itself on the '08 models and has since been remedied. I wouldn't let this scare me off from purchasing the bike if the bike is configured the way I want it and the price is right. Every single '08, '09 '10 and'11 touring bike out there is a tbw model. You're not alone by a long shot riding a bike with this setup. Get this bike. I'm sure you'll get many years of good service out of her...
