2024 cvo SG limp mode
Okay how many are experiencing the dreaded limp mode symptom?
My bike only has 3500 miles on it and went into town and it went limp mode right in the middle of an intersection! Had it towed to the nearest dealership and the next day they told me it needed a whole new throttle body because the TPS isnt replaceable! It's been three weeks my $50k bike has been sitting in their storage area waiting for a backorder part. No clue when one will be available. They don't allow loaner bikes so now I'm screwed right into the best riding season. Pissed. Anyone else have their newer cvo in the shop?

Ask the dealer for the exact diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) that were stored.
- Ask whether they performed connector, wiring harness, and power/ground checks before condemning the throttle body.
- Request a copy of the repair order and technician notes.
- Contact Harley-Davidson Customer Support
- Reach out directly to Harley-Davidson Customer Support.
- Explain that the motorcycle became disabled in traffic with very low mileage and that the replacement part is on indefinite backorder.
- Ask whether they can expedite the part, locate one in dealer inventory elsewhere, or offer goodwill assistance.
- Ask the dealer to perform a nationwide parts search
- Sometimes a part exists at another dealer but isn't visible through normal inventory channels.
- Ask specifically whether they've checked dealer-to-dealer availability.
- Document everything
- Keep records of towing, dates, communications, and any expenses caused by the downtime.
- If the delay becomes very lengthy, this documentation can be useful when discussing compensation or goodwill assistance.

Awesome advice and thank you for your quick reply.
I waited many years to aquire a Harley of this stature and thought it would be my last bike for riding, boy was I wrong! I'm old school and always liked the anti-technology they have stuffed into these bikes, but what an awesome riding bike, smooth, powerful and surprisingly agile! Again thanks for the advice and I'll post back here of the updates.
