This is a repost for Thorn about his brother HAMMER. If you have an 08 HD
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get it checked out.
My Brother HAMMER was killed today in a bike accident -- he was the Pres
and patch Holder for Boozefighter Capter 39 in Granbury T he is also the
Owner of Jackhammer Tatoo. his wife Sindi is in serious condition.
Seems that the new electronic throttle on the 08 HD's has a problem they
accelerate on thier own and you can shut them down. he had just got his bike
back from HD for this problem and they told him it was fixed. this time he
was in a curve and couldn't pull out of it , rtan off the road and threw
Sindi of ,then the bike flipped over on him and broke his neck .
please if you have one of these bikes or you know someone that does , get
it checked.

RE: THROTTLE PROBLEMS 08 SG
Justa simple comment... do you think that reseting the throttle by wire would help? Maybe Harley Davidson is using Microsoft... Those of us in the computer industry know and just expect that anytime issues arrise, we reboot and reset.
I was having the slow response on my throttle by wire 2008... I mentioned it for my 1,000 mile checkup, they reset my throttle by wire and it seems to have fixed the issue. It is now very responsive.
