Default Throttle and idle issues

i have a 2015 road glide. Last weekend while riding my rpm dropped to 1500 and had no throttle response at all. I pulled over and the bike started to idle hard and barely stay alive. I shut it down and couldn't get it running again. After $660 tow job to my nearest dealer I'm told the bike runs fine. A handful of codes thrown that explain the problem but no fix. Dealer wants to change out a starter solenoid that's apparently not covered under warranty. I have 6000km trip coming up this weekend and I'm concerned. Any ideas guys? I was told by a friend that it sounds like a ground issue. I'm open to suggestions. Thanks for the help
