2011 Sedona orange street glide. Compensator at 15k and I just had lifters replaced at 23k maybe 2 weeks ago. Saturday I'm riding with the chapter on the Tour of Duty ride get to Jackson Tn and bam, no throttle. Pull over and a couple of attempts to restart and still no throttle. Road caption tries a couple of things and when shed restart fuel pump would sound like **** and awfull tick in the topend. Get her towed to the Harley dealer in Jackson and the replace the throttle body and find out no compression in the front cylinder. DAMMIT!!!! I guess I'll find out the problem Tuesday. I love Ginger but if she has another mechanical that's motor related I'm getting a divorce.

 

Ginger?

 

Red=ginger.. Sounds like the hag has some bad tendencies

 

I would have said Bye Bye to Ginger back at 23k and started looking for a Heather

 

Give Ginger a 120 boost. Then you could call her Big Red.

 

Did they say the TB was bad? Seems like a weird fix to your symptoms in the first place. If you have no compression was the TB really bad in the first place?

 

Curious, was this a stock motor or modified?

 

It would be hard to have a discussion with anyone looking at her because their eyes would be staring at her jugs.

Beary

 

Yeah, pouring over here, too. 09 SG, 24k miles. Well-maintained and not mercilessly hammered. Whirring sound led to new trans and new clutch basket (bad bearing caused it to whobble so badly that the large gear was scraping inside of inner primary cover). HD refused to warrant anything - "because it'd be unfair to owners that bought esp." New comp, of course. Ching, ching, ching. I'm keeping this bike because I love the ride and vibe of HD, but I'm buying another and it will not be HD.

 

Damn! Sorry about your bad luck.
