Ran into the same problem last week and again today on my 09 ultra,1000 miles on the bike and I've got no power,giving it gas but I ain't going any where,last week the bike shut down and won't start but by the time the tow showes up it started but was running alittle rough,rode it back home with the tow truck following,I was only 4 miles from home been out did about 200 miles that day.brought it to my dealer for it's 1000 mile check up and had them look @ the problem said they didn't see anything wrong,went out today with my daughter went about 8 miles and stoppes when I started up again the same problem won't go over 15 miles an hour,limbing all the way home,feeling real good about dropping 24k on this bike,couble of guys pull up and ask if there anything they can do,one guy tells me to pull over he knows what's wrong.Tells me I have to reset the throttle,I'm like huh.told me to shut it down and cycle the pump on the injection 4 times,said he had a standard that did the same thing,I was having trouble doing it 4 times,it would do it twice then nothing we tried that a few times then started that bad boy up and I was on my merry way.His name was Dave and he was a life saver and sad to say I don't think I thanked him enough.I thanked him and we chatted a few minutes and we went our seperate ways,I just wanted to get home,so Dave if your out there thanks again
