BeJeezus!!!!! That could be a killer. Those '08's are going to kill someone with that throttle setup. I'll take cables thank you!

I took this very question to ( TBW over revving) to the Motor Companys top tech support guys this last weekend, while I was attending Primary Officer Training put on by HarleyDavidson at the Red Rock Convention in Vegas.

They said, " There has never been an issue with the throttle going wide open, but there is an issue with the idle resetting it's calabrations in the field."
They ( HD Tech support) also said, There is a fix, or re-flash to fix it,other than thecurrentfix of cycling the key 4 times. The new 08's built as of today,already have this fix.
Is there anyone outhere that can confirm my statement, surely I'm not the only one with this information
