FBW problems again
At what point will HD just give me a new bike??
I have a 08SG and have around 31k miles on it.
Been in the shop mutiple times for the FBW issues
I will be riding and all of a sudden just loose my throttle no response
no gas no go also very dangerous.
I really don't want to ride it anymore.
Any Ideas??

I had that same problem last year. Bike would go into limp mode and the throttle would have no response. Towed to dealer 3 times. They finally found the problem. It was a broken wire in the induction module wiring loom behind air filter. The tech said I was his second bike with this problem and they beleived the wire was damaged during plant assembly. Have not had a problem since. Tell your tech to closely look at induction module wiring.

Are these problems being fixed at the same dealer? If they are I would try a different dealer.
Have you contacted HD customer service? May or may not help but at least you can let them know how disappointed you are.
I have had my 08 in twice for FBW issues, problems were with less than 10,000 miles on bike.
To make a long story short, this almost ruined a vacation but Knoxville HD pulled through.
If this problem continues I will trade mine in.

yeah I think it's a wiring issue behind the air cleaner (Induction Module)
I'm really considering trading mine in. or down actually to a 07.
will be taking it to the shop again this week.
