Default 2012 StreetGlide Goes into Limp Mode

I am looking for a little help. Twice my 2012 has gone into limp mode after hitting a bump. I have wiggled wires connect and reconnect. Both times after getting it home and it cooled off, started right up not in limp mode. No codes are popping up. After the first time, we changed the heat sensor. Runs cooler but did it again. On Saturday rode for 4 hours two up. I hit all sorts of bumps. Ran perfect. Took it out yesterday, alone, passing a semi, hit a bump zero throttle response. Not good. The only difference from Saturday and Sunday is I changed back to my LaPera solo saddle. The first it did it the I was on the solo saddle as well. coincidence? Thanks in advance.

Mine turned out to be the green connector in the FBW throttle.

I cut the connector out, soldered the wires, and it has worked perfectly for the last 10K miles.

You do not need to remove the complete harness from the bars (stock bars). There is enough slack to do it right on the bike.

Ken

PS, Do not mix up the wires...there are 2 of each color but the are in different sleeves. It is self explanatory when you open it up.
