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??

 

Wiring issue?

 

Here's some info for you...http://www.lemonjustice.com/lemon-la...rcycle_law.php..good luck

 

Did they replace your twist sensor or just clear all the codes?

 

What's FBW?

 

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.

 

Fly By Wire. No throttle cables.

 

I think a HD replacing your bike is out of the question.
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.

 

+1 One of the guys in My unit had this issues and was told the same thing! If your dealership still does not fix it too your satisfaction call the regional HD service rep...This has worked in the past for us!

Ride Safe and good luck! Mike

 

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.
